Nice gesture. I missed everything after the winning goal - I couldn’t turn my tv off fast enough.

Worse than losing the game is seeing Americans online go feral thinking they are the center of the universe as always 
It was a great game where Canada dominated and ran into Hellebuyck at his best. Unfortunate with the missed calls and the missed open nets from Canada. I had a terrible feeling going into 3v3 overtime that that would have happened. 3v3 overtime is fun, but in most cases it's a coin flip in deciding a game.
GG's to the Americans, but many of their fans need to learn to win with grace.

Winning with grace is some dopey Canadian thing. America the beautiful home of the sore winner.

Lol, it's only been 46 years guys, 50 was the cut off for celebration and gloating.
I think everyone else, certainly in the US, felt different. I thought 3-on-3 played to Canada's strength, speed and depth.
Is it even fun? It creates chances, but it's a different game. One you get out of round-robin, make it full OT, 5-on-5.
Really? Celebrating your win is thinking you are the center of the universe? Because I watched Canada do a lot of celebrating over the years.Worse than losing the game is seeing Americans online go feral thinking they are the center of the universe as always

Austin bringing the gold home to Toronto is gonna be weird. All you degens, what are the Vegas odds they acknowledge his win in their first home game?

Oh for sure it should have favoured us. But when your goalie is stopping everything doubt sets in. The Americans played underdogs and it worked. Point is the 3v3 makes it like a coin flip for either team. Miss the net and the puck will swing around and create a 2 on 1 the other way.
I'm talking more broadly, like in NHL games. And I was actually surprised this was the format for medal games, definitely doesn't feel right.
Celebrating is wonderful, it's the gloating and taunting is what I'm referring to. Not saying it's on this forum BTW lol, when I say "online" I'm mostly referring to twitter and instagram. And I have a bias, but time and time again when the Americans win (ie Stanley cup, internationally etc) it definitely gives them a big head ha and there's just a different reaction I see across the board.
Still no silver trophy for Matthews... Marner got it, though.
Matthews was a net negative in the Gold medal game. As expected.

Shoulder injuries to guys whose calling card is scoring goals is a death sentence for their long term prospects. He'll play but I don't think he'll ever touch 50 goals in a season again.
Agreed. And missing Sid hurt the Canadians (even with as much depth as they had).

Touche. My guy Tage had the least amount of ice time for the forwards I think. Still not entirely sure why but probably speed and defensive play, there are superior players to him in that regard.
If you're giving up on Thompson, we'll take him in Detroit. Same for Werenski... Shame to see those careers wasted.

How could you possibly take what I said that way lol? Go get your own giant!!!
The only people laughing at that are south of the border.

Well, all in all it was nice to have Olympic hockey back with the NHL players. I really hope they do away with 3 on 3 in Olympic hockey and the NHL. Move to the 3-2-1 system full time.
I had though before the tourney Sweden would take at least bronze, nice to a surprise there. I was dead wrong.

North of the border here... I cringed (then forwarded it to the rest of the 'mericans).

Maybe we could go back to an Olympic sized rink too. That hurt the Canadians as well in the GMG. Not that they ran out of ice, but they had more speed...
Olympic size ice hurts the viewers most of all.

This rink was actually smaller right? Like 4 feet in the neutral zone? Couldn't even tell honestly.
