Aho and the fins were absolutely ass today.  But they could bounce back. Too much talent to suck that bad vs Slovakia

I can imgine. That last game before the break with the Canes was as gutless as I've ever seen from the Rags. Of course, the guys were still feeling the nut-punch they took after Drury traded Panarin for peanuts the day before?

The US Men's team must be feeling pretty confident going into today's game against Latvia. The top line features Eichel in the middle with the Tkachuck brothers on the wings. All the depth on the roster and that's what they came up with?

The Canadian Men's team is going to be hard to beat, they are more stacked than an all-star team

Funny you say that because for once I actually think team USA is just as stacked more firepower than any past US Olympics team by far, two of the top 3 Norris candidates, Thr best defensive D man....

 

Honestly they should he starting Swayman IMO though hes much better than Halleybuck this yeat.

The officials have apparently been given the directive to make sure the gold medal match is US v Canada.

Slavin trips Ehlers, who slides into net, knocking it off the posts and Ehlers gets called.

Brady Kfug is a penalty machine. He's getting away with cross checks and head shots at will.

Swayman gives up a goal from the red line. Yes, the red line.

At least Slavin didn’t hurt Ehlers haha.  That would be our luck with injuries this year. But the goal from center ice was cheeks.
