Wow. Were they counting this game over too early?

You're telling me! I had the puckline - Canada -1.5. Got nervous there for a second!

Crosby's hit followed immediately by an open net goal was insane!!! The Finns didn't give up either with that last second shot on the net!

It should have gone in. Aho couldn't believe he missed it

WHy they pulled the goalie with the puck still in the neutral zone was bizarre. They had plenty of time to get it in the zone first.

They made it fun. I just can't see the Finns taking Canada this year. Way too much talent.

Lack of practice time together is showing in small things like that. It also seems, regardless of the talent level of the players, it is easier to organize a defensive scheme to gum things up at the blue line than it is organize clean entry into the offensive zone. Good hockey though. US showing here and in the World Jrs shows the increase in popularity in the sport in the US. Good to see and hopefully they continue that momentum.

I'm not sure what kind of game to expect tonight. Sweden will still give it 110% right? Will the USA?

Two and for just as good of stars though.

Tie game now and still looks fiesta on the ice

Sweden 2, USA 1. Good one.

Looking forward to Boston. First USA vs Canada was so dang fantastic (the game) that Canada will bring it!
USA will send Canada packing. Prediction 3 USA, 2 Canada.

Ole swedes pulled it off eh? Not bad, enjoyed seeing Ek doing his usual harassment of the goalie sight lines. Too bad there's no assist for screening the goalie completely

I'm still pissed the other hockey thread got shut down.

Thursday night is going to be one hell of a game!

'We want them again': Canada fired up for USA revenge final

Anticipation for this dream championship has been swelling like border tensions and nasty weather, spiking with Saturday’s visceral mayhem in Montreal.

www.sportsnet.ca

“That first game, it put everybody on notice that this wasn’t just a walk-in-the-park tournament, that this is something the players wanted and are taking very seriously.” U.S. captain Auston Matthews said.

“Everybody’s going to be really fired up for it and excited,” Cale Makar said. “And there’s probably not a better city in the U.S. to have this game in.”
This place will be loud and angry and there’s nowhere else a hockey lover would rather be.
“We came here for this purpose,” Cooper said. “And now it’s win one more game. It just happens to be against the team that beat us after the fireworks that went off on Saturday night. Should be a pretty good made-for-TV event.”

Hear me out. What if the rink was setup on LOTW with the centerline being the national border?

Don't let this derail the thread, but then the US revokes all visas from the Canadians so they can't come into our half! That's how we'll win for sure.

Second period is going to be awkward though
