Dominated the period and it's tied. Helley is dialed in. Not good.

Bennett needs more icetime. He's feeling it.

The worst game I have seen from McDavid. Outside of game 7 in the cup finals.

Seems to be a pattern.

While I get why some of these guys were picked, Canada could've made another couple of superstar lines and just rolled teams.

Add in Logan Thompson.... does the US even stand a chance?

Guys really need to take Bennett's lead and be direct. Pucks to the crease and bang one in. If you want to pass it, pass it off the pads.

And yeah, McDavid needs to show the hell up.

The thing that worries me about this game is that Canada's level of play tends to slip as the game goes on. Has been that way in the first 3 games. Can't afford to let it happen again.

Pretty much the only way to see the big gorillas in the wild. I'd go.

I have less interest in visiting the USA.

At least McDiver could do what he’s best at and take a dive and get us a power play.

Should've bagged 2 or 3 when they're were buzzing in the first 10 minutes.

Don't know how hellebuyck held the line on two goalmouth scrums.

McDavid showing us he has no winning DNA at all. Tough luck, Edmonton.

McDavid knows he can shoot, right? Canada needs to get picks on Helly and be there for any rebounds.

Marner has been absolutely pedestrian since scoring that OT winner.
Team needs to play for the logo on the chest this period, we need the 2nd goal.

I stop in here a couple of times tonight to see how the game is going. Literally no radio station in Canada is running the play by play. Sportsnet 960, the little bitch.

What the actual hell tsn and Roger's.
