Boldy burns Toews and Makar.
They should have taken Myers over one of those shrimps.

Unfortunately Toews didn't set his alarm clock. 🤮

Feels like I’m watching the Finland game again with them clogging up the ice and taking away Canada’s speed.

It's their best strategy.

And they have some really mobile defenders. Forcing Canada to chip it in, then beating their forecheck to the puck leads to odd man rushes back the other way.

This US team is legit.

Canada has a ton of vets who know how to win in these games though, hopefully they can take Bucky's eyes away and get one early.

Was thinking the same thing. Is it too early to complain about the players selected.

He's looking rough, but I won't write him off in a big game.
