The silver lining is that this gives Canada the comfy group for when this tournament has fans again next year. Have to wonder if every single bounce would have gone the States' way if the building was rocking for the entire game

This one hurts. I had high expectations of Team Canada this year. After watching their performances from the earlier games, I thought there was no way they would lose this year. Well, let's give credit to the USA for their outstanding performance; particularly, Spencer Knight.

They had an easy draw which I think hurt them by the end.

Congrats to the US, they outplayed us at the beginning - got the goal they needed - then shut it down the rest of the way. We'll get our revenge at the Olympics.

 

Somewhere Jacques Lemaire is smiling. 

Olympics will be tough.

 

Matthew's Eichel Q Hughes, J Hughes JT Miller Boeser, Kane, Seth Jones etc

 

That will by far be the best team they've ever had

I always compare Hockey Canada to New Zealand Rugby and the All Blacks. You expect them to

win and when they don’t it’s a major disappointment. That being said, when they do lose, it’s almost a blessing for the game globally as too much of a good thing (winning) sometimes takes away from the game (hockey) as a whole. Canada still reigns as hockey royalty, but you gotta remember without honest competition the game gets predictable and boring. That being said, I really hope the NHL and its players return to the Olympics soon.

That's the thing with the US. If athletes pick hockey they'll get really good.

 

Mathews and Jones as an example.
