USA v CANADA

Canada vs USA II

4 Nations Cup

wow it should have been matthews, heartbreak for USA  The golden kid wins it for canada

Crosby officially passed the torch to McDavid, I couldn't be happier lol. Great game though.

lets go boys, next goal wins. give me Mathews to end it.

Difference between Team Canada and USA. USA took best players available. Canada learnt nothing from Juniors and did not. The best goalie they took is 21st in the league and has not played a game. They left the top 6 Canadian goalies completely off the roster (Ahead of backup. 9 ahead of Binnington) including second best goalie in league making the 36th ranked goalie (30 teams) their only starter. They took 3 players from Tampa because of coach selection. And that same coach picked the goalie he did as starter because in past won cup. Of course he played on a team built for defense. So why not use the guy that won 2 years ago instead of 5 or 6. Why not use Matt Murray then. He has 2 rings. Think about it. Not to mention Kemper the second best rated goalie in league has also won a cup more recent the Bennington. A best on best series and Canada chose not to bring best. Maybe for olympics take the idiot make decisions out of it and let the fans or a broadcaster choose. In this case anyone. And maybe use a retired coach who doesn't base choices on his current team and loosing a cup to St Louis once upon a time. This is the USA tournament. Canada is dysfunctional as our politics.

I really loved the beginning of the last game.  Hockey is better with fighting and passion. That being said i kind of hope that we show some class.  The final is in boston on american soil this time.  So i hope we dont boo the canadian anthem and we just beat them in a nice clean 3-1 fashion. However if its full of fights and kind of a shit show i wouldnt be upset either.
