Sorry a little late, but I can see why this team won. They were a team.

can't wait to see jordan schroeder in a nucks uniform

God damn fucking Yanks.......... j/k.

Awesome team.

Like Cody Hodgson?

hodgson + schroeder in the future? :)

they won because we were missing stamkos,tavares,duchene,hodgson,kane,delzotto,myer s,doughty etc.
not because they were a team. Fuck the USA

^maybe you should just accept that they were a better team this year?

Touche... they did have a better team.

Canada had a lot of individual efforts out there during the gold medal game... Kids really showed their age.

Overall was it a disappointment? yes... but fuck was it entertaining to watch.

Patrick Kane is American. Patrick Kane wouldnt even qualify to play for the Americans this year anyways.
Yea, they were missing those certain players, big fucking deal. In a short tournament like this, you gotta play as a team. Meaning lose like a team and win like a team. It didnt fucking matter last year who scored the most goals or who did what. These short tournaments require precision teamwork and craftmanship enroute to victory


The Americans had the Goaltending
The Americans had the Penalty Kill
The Americans had NOTHING to play for

Now i wont go as far as saying they were better or they were worst, becuz there were aspects of their game and the canadian game which made the two teams the best. For one thing, the US pretty much SHUTDOWN the very scary looking Canadian powerplay. Everyone hears this alot, special teams and goaltending wins champions

The Americans were very discipline to begin with and when they were a man down, the PK was very structured, I have not seen a PK in a long time where the box would move as synchronized as the Americans did. The forwards on the PK were very JUMPY as well, look at all the times when the US were able to break up the passing play becuz of how well they positioned themselves.

Both games were close to perfect, and when a mistake occured, the opposition would take advantage of the situation and turn it into a goal. This goes both ways.

The Goaltending for both squads were "solid" to a point. but the Canadian kids cheated on some shots and thats never good.

dont forget shirokov

i admit .they were better than our "B" team.

my views of Hodgson went down the shitter after training camp. Sorry kid, i dont care how well you play. Admit your not ready to go cuz of that back and everyone would shut the hell up. Maybe it was our medical staff and such, but he went back to his own doctor to fix it and was just asked simply to rest more.

His mistake now puts his career in question.

I could be wrong?

Schroeder, before the tourny, this guy will make it if he scores a shitload of goals, such a little guy

after WJHC, this guy has a very good 2way game.

I think he meant Evander Kane of the Thrashers:thumbsup:

Sounds like a bunch of douchebags to me

oops
hahaha

It's an edited chant from the US Marines.

:lol

Both teams were good enough to win gold. USA played a little bit better on the day it mattered.

Canada lost cause of goaltending, Canada has always been the type to depend on clutch goaltending... they didn't get the save when they needed it...

True story.

All the americans had to do was shoot high glove and it went it almost every time. Should have pulled our goalie after the second goal.

The US won. Time to move on.

kadri fanned at the handshakes
