That was a better shift. Makar hits iron.

I totally agree it's a toss up, I'm not saying any of these guys besides Bedard should clearly be there. I'm saying there was a different way to build the team if you'd wanted to do it. This roster and lineup isn't just clearly and obviously the right group of players, there was another way to do this.

I'm also not saying they can't win with these guys, they clearly can - this is basically the same approach they used in Sochi.

The silver lining would be if Canada lost while playing Mcdavid a lot, we could go back to saying he doesn't show up in the biggest games.

They've been targeting Crosby that whole shift. Could have called interference there.

Yikes, now he's hurt...

I forgot that Mackinnon had hurt his leg last game.

How did McDavid miss that open net....

The bigger issue IMO is the d-core is not moving the puck fast enough to the forwards and not able to break up cycles effectively.

This team has gobs of offense. If they lose, it's because they didn't execute or Dostal has the game of his life

You think literally everyone is watching on TV? What a weird thing to blast him for.
