Canada was the better team on paper, but that is why we play the game.
Boo to the hoo
FREE BIRD 🥇🇺🇸 🦅
Great moments are born from great opportunity.
And that's what you have here tonight, boys.
That's what you've earned here, tonight. One game.
If we played 'em ten times, they might win nine. But not this game. Not tonight.
Tonight, we skate with 'em.
Tonight, we stay with 'em, and we shut them down because we can!
Tonight, we are the greatest hockey team in the world.
You were born to be hockey players — every one of ya.
And you were meant to be here tonight.
This is your time.
Their time — is done. It's over.
I'm sick and tired of hearin' about what a great hockey team the Canadians have. Screw 'em!
This is your time!!
Now go out there and take it!
He was doing nothing almost all the 5 games
I think Canada is bad at everything now
When Canada needed to get the job done at the end of the day, no excuses, we failed, period.
You f up
Hmm. Canada had a 5-3 power play and could not score a goal….Yeah, they are the better team..
Canada are big babies. Yeah sure they out played USA most of the game and Crosby didn’t play but you still lost. Two breaks aways, a wide open net and a 5-3 for a minute and half and you scored ZERO. The US goalie was in a zone and beat you hands down.
Slow down.
Lol F Canada
😊 people love the drama, do your own research people
Canada wasn’t the better team, they were the better group of forwards for sure but I’m pretty sure the goaltender is part of the “team” and probably the most important part…and USA just happened to bring the best one with them on their team. 🤷♂️
If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a fine Christmas. 😉
Hellebucyk was the better team 😂
Good thing about keeping score whoever scores more goals is offensively the better team. 😂
Canada can blame someone. Nathan Mackinnon missed a WIDE OPEN shot in the 3rd period. Blame him.
When you shoot 50% more shots than the Americans and make half as many goals, that means ✌🏻things:
A.) You’re not as good at shooting
B.) You’re not as good at goaltending
Put those two things together:
You’re not as good.
HAHAHAHA GFY MacKinnon!!
crazy I have seen this posted a dozen times but not the entire post. With the whole post it seems he is a lot less salty than the media would have you think.
That was Gaudreau stopping MacKinnon. And comments here trying to discredit the US win is just cheap.
" you be the judge who was the better team "
Im a good judge of things. That will be team USA. My grampa can hit that open net that you missed. Stay salty..
Canada played a great game, but they LOST. Maybe he should have hit that open net. Maybe they should have scored when they had 1:33 of 5v3? Maybe they needed a better goalie? He's a whiner.
If MacKinnon shoots that shot ten times, he might make nine. But not this game.😁
USA was the better team
America 🇺🇸 was the better team wtf are y’all talking about who tf won ? 🥇
Doesn’t matter who the better team was. When it came time to bury their chances USA did it. Thats what matters. Converting on your opportunities
The name gordon bombay rings in my ear when i think about this shot
USA 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸
