Much better period! USA lucky to be tied after two. Intentional or not, USA parking the bus but you can’t beat a team with Canada’s firepower 1-0.

And MacKinnon still having a tough game relative to standards - the rhino is going to be trampling in the third.

Canada has been so much better than them. Just shot their own foot off with a couple bad giveaways, usa has created one good chance themselves all game - also not getting any puck luck around the net.


But the chicken Littles like Eric Francis saying the usa is better than us now are looking completely out to lunch.


Canada plays another period like that in the 3rd and thats all you can ask even if they dont get the breaks

Weird rule, but okay. I was unaware of that. Cool to know.

Get ready for the onslaught of the ads and betting as it returns pm Wednesday.

I agree with Cassie. McDavid needs to shoot more

Yup. Flood. 20 min periods. Play until a winner.

He's had a lot of chances at one-timers and just stops the puck and slows it down. Looking for the perfect play it would seem.

With what he can do, I'm amazed he's not a 60 goal scorer every season. Maybe he's a bit like Iggy used to be - sometimes needs to get pissed off to decide he's just going to bull through a team.

Every team is going to roll out the red carpet for him if he tests the market.

Too bad about that 5on3 debacle. A lead here would have been huge. Oh well, win the 3rd, win the gold!!!

Also Canada doesn’t seem to have a goal song. Which is okay with me. The US one is so cringy.
