Canada looks pissed AF.

This is going to be spicy.

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago (5 children)

Getting booed across the board will do that.

I heard a lot of people singing O Canada. But then the USA chant started and it felt like any episode of Jerry Springer

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I saw some Americans singing it too. r/mademesmile

Reddit sub references will be a hard habit to kick. Like hashtags ;)

Seems appropriate this epic tournament should go to extra innings

Guy is just too good.

What a game!

Go Canada!

McJesus!

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ugh, only US streams are coming in clear. Sigh. Canadian play by play is so much better on the average. Hopefully I can swap in a bit.

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Huzzah! SN it is haha

[–] king_tronzington@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Are the tkachuk brothers the real life bash brothers?

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Tkachucks are tough MF's. Dad was too. But they got a long way to go to get this level...

Following in dad's footsteps.

[–] Aceofspades@lemmy.ca 5 points 11 months ago

Let's go 🇨🇦!

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 5 points 11 months ago

Missiles launching in 45 mins...

[–] king_tronzington@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Damn. How you gonna leave McDavid wide open like that?

GG Canada

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 months ago

Yeah right? Like how is just there in a perfect spot with no one anywhere near him?

Well it happened and it went as they should expect if they do that.

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

Canada wins!!!!!

[–] king_tronzington@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

That play by Eichel was sick. US defensive game is top notch

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

And that's how you beat a good goalie. You Ryan Smyth the shit out of em and set up a tent in front of the crease.

[–] Punchshark@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

We only had him for like a season and a half but I had a ton of fun not having to deal with him on the other side of the ice. I was super sad he wasn't there the next season when we won the first cup. Would have been EPIC getting him one.

[–] Punchshark@lemmy.ca 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He is one of my favorite oilers of all time. I almost cried when he got traded. Dark day in Edmonton...

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

That's how I felt with Quick getting traded.

Smyth legit helped get the Kings to the playoffs after a long drought and I'll always spread the good word of Ryan for many, many years to come because of it.

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Canada's playing great in front of the net. Keep Helly blinded and we could win it all!

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That was my beef with Canada in the first game. So much quality in the front of the net but like it was controlled so-to-speak. You gotta screen, toss some slop at angles, and hit the rebounds far side. Shake that shit up.

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

Yup. When everyone on the ice is top of the game players, messy goals often win.

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 5 points 11 months ago

Helle let in his one early goal. We might have to win 1-0

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Crowd spread looks like when Edmonton comes into LA and I have to sit in the middle of Oils fans lol.

Glad to see y'all traveled en mass.

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

That was a great game.

As a Kings fan, McDavid doing McDavid things depresses me.

As an American, watching your TV ads from SN streams makes me incredibly sad and it feels right y'all getting a proper win in the face of so much cultural/national nonsense.

But for real, anyone but McDavid. Thanks

[–] yardy_sardley@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Just sat down in time to see the Bennet goal. Go Canada!

Chantel Kreviazuk has a hard task today.

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Boston handled themselves like a million times better than I thought they would with that.

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 months ago

I think they might have a better grasp of the situation there than in other places :/

[–] Werewolf_Cop@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Enjoy the game, everyone. I know the outcome I'm hoping for - a great game and a Canadian win. On paper, they've got a great goalie but Canada has the best scorers.

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

You guys can win if Doughty gets a goal. I'd be OK with that.

[–] Aceofspades@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago

Fuck yeah! McDavid with the winner!

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

About those sloppy shots getting put into play...

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I'll admit I clenched cheeks with that break.

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

What. A. Game!!!!!!

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

1st penalty is gonna be crazy.
