At this level, shoot shoot shoot. Deke may look good but most goalies are sitting back in the net. And not super tall.

I want Colleen Jones asking the questions to our coach.

Start with this

You only played half an exhausted roster for OT. How does it feel to be the Canadian coach who ended our record run?

And then puts out a player who hadn’t played in 40 minutes of playing time probably 2 1/2 hours of real time on the biggest PP of the game with 90 second left.

Why can’t I route for a hockey team that I can’t sit there and poke holes through the coaching. Le sigh.

Yup. Coach was double shifting Poulin early in OT. Its a 20 OT of course shed be gassed.

Not a fan of shootout endings but watching that 4 on 4 OT was painful. Great effort but we couldn't match the speed of US and mistakes cost us.

What a garbage way to decide such a huge game. IIHF needs to do something about this.

Who falls, gets walked around, then misses a pass by 10 feet in 40 seconds.

It's like Donald Trump just became PM of Canada. I might be American but I loathe the US team. They are disgusting in their off ice behaviour, especially. I kind of wish Hayley Wickenheiser appeared out of the blue and laid a KO on the US team captain.

I normally don't watch women's hockey. But it was a good game nonetheless. USA was the better team bar none.

In the gold medal game would it have been so bad just to play 5 on 5 in OT? Did they need to end it early so TV coverage could switch to some other event? It’s 2:30 am in the eastern time zone anyway. Just stupid.

Americans outplayed our girls and deserved the win. Our goalie was solid to keep us in it.

Hockey Canada may need to revisit their training schedule. The Americans were considerably faster tonight.

I'm not familiar with the format. Found that strange.
For some reason intl rules changes order after 5 shots. If it had gotten to the 11th round Canada would have shot first again.

Yup. Axe the coach and put some of the veterans out to the pasture. Needs some young blood. Couldn’t keep up with the US.

Shame it even went to OT.

Should probably avoid giving up a breakaway with a one goal lead and 6 minutes left.

Just sayin

This has me all sorts of pissed. For some reason I find the US women’s hockey team just vile for some reason. Especially those Lamoureux twins.

Might have been possible if the coach didn’t decide to triple shift veterans.
