plus whichever young players establish themselves over the coming years, very few from the last couple drafts have yet. yeah canada confirmed big time cooked. goal looks like it could be a slight issue, but it literally can't be worse than trash binnington who is 50th out of 52 in sv% this season aka the bounciest dead cat oat
mckenna if he's not in jail
the aggravated assault charge was dropped, he had 8 points the other day vs the ohio st, yeah he's fine
bar fight is not a deterrent for the Nhl, quite the opposite
For sure, dummying that American definitely bolsters his resume
also, lol jest if they don't trade hollerback girl right ****ing now. thought he was a little bit younger than nearly 33 years old ... coincidentally he's rocking a career-worst save %, but going forward his value will probably never be higher than it is at this moment. they of all teams really gotta take advantage of this.
Also, now Jordan Binnington never plays another meaningful game for anyone again.
Keep giving McOverrated his participation trophies
Lol at those being participation trophies. Also cute to leave out the 4 Nations win where he got the winning goal in OT. Not sure why people hate McDavid so much, am sure the people who do are morons.

Canada won 2010, 2014 because they were big, fast and skilled. Guys like Nash, Getzlaf, Perry, Thorton, Benn, Carter, etc. They could push around the European teams and were more skilled than USA. Now the USA teams are deeper on skill and Canada is still trying to build teams that push teams around but can't score.
L take. canada has the best team ..... every time? probably. sometimes they don't win because there's a shitload of luck in hockey. apparently that final might have been something like 6-2 canada on xg. 6 seems high, don't know how many games i've seen with 6 xg, but that toews chance, mackinnon's empty net, mcbust and celebrini with breakaways, think celebrini had another good backdoor chance on the powerplay late, and a bunch of others i'm forgetting. yeah 6 seems possible.
did mackinnon miss an empty net because he's a no-skiller who can't score? did mcbust and celebrini fail on breakaways because they're no-skillers who can't score? if mckenna goes #1 that'll be 6 of the last 7 years with a canadian as the top pick in the draft. yeah clearly a no-skill no-scoring future...
some of these takes are so ****ing dumb. yeah the yanks might pass us eventually due to population, but can we at least wait until it even remotely looks like a reality, rather than after a game that was a demolition apart from goaltending/luck?
xG in a one off lmao
maybe get a goalie, freakshow
you lost
COPE
and
SEETHE
BITCH
been checked out on the draft the last few years, just looked and 37 of the 1st rounders from the last two years are from canada (including 17 of the top-22 in 2025, and 9 of the top-13 in 2024), so something of a mini resurgence there which should bolster the system going forward for those who are concerned about the future for whatever reason

Canada got lucky and had 2 come from behind wins in the playoff round, they no longer dominate the WJC either. And it's because of people like you saying well they outshot them, or MacKinnon doesn't usually miss open nets. It's lowering the bar, we used to expect domination now we are satisfied with outshooting teams.
he is coping, there is no reasonable response possible for it
generational meltdown from an entire country
yeah, probably the same reason they put wayne, mario and hawerchuk together ..... or maybe it's because ~all the best players are centers. who's to say
and require OT against Czechia and two goals against the Fins that probably shouldn't have counted
they went 3 games living on the edge playing this way and it finally caught them
but goalies and xG or someting
cope and seethe
Love the people that don't watch hockey but come in the thread post USA win to dispense their hockey knowledge.

This.
People that don't normally participate in this thread come out of the crevices like a cockroach to spew their vitriol and make me sad that I'm an ugly American.
I sincerely apologize for these douchbags.
I have more posts in hockey threads than you have in total
this place is just dead now, I just came back to laugh at that moron 72
and back to never posting here anymore
priz gonna priz
Canada got Goalied and missed a bunch of chances. No Corsi gold afaik. Maybe next time the Gold Medal game will stay 5 on 5 for a period at least.
Rantanen placed on short term IR with a lower body injury. Out at least 2 weeks.
Sucks, but I still like watching NHL players in the Olympics.
