Oh yeah, that's a true story. But I didn't think Kane did anything remotely spectacular. Aside from making some pretty poor decisions and getting squeezed out by Canada's d (admittedly they're studs, but yeah).

C'mon, you can do better than this!
Perhaps it was just a relative thing compared to the rest of the team. I mean I got excited when Wheeler skated up the ice. They just didn't have the puck offensively enough to sustain pressure.
Yeah he was drifting on the right side. Then drifting on the left side. Then drifting up the middle. Then losing the puck trying to stick handle.
Honestly Kesler was the biggest problem on that line though. He looked like shit out there.

It sucks but I feel better knowing Dustin Brown won't be going for his knees.
lol @ Mr.Not-So-Awesome
GG USA, never underestimate the beaver.
Sweden is going to be fucking tough.

In Toronto:
Too soon?
It is never too soon.
Ugh, frustrating as hell. Hopefully we can salvage a medal tomorrow. Finland won't be easy.
Canada deserved to win. They controlled things almost the whole way, and our forwards could never get settled down in the offensive zone. I had a feeling that today would be the day Canada got their shit together. Annoying to be right.
GO SWEDEN!

Good idea, that will give him the shits, and then we can invade Canada and take all their hockey players.
I thought Kane had that one great PowerPlay and he created as much offense as he could on even-strength. It was tough to find any passing lanes and there was no space for USA's players in front of the net. It may not have been great for USA, but Kessel and Kane played like they were the best forwards on Team USA.
If Kane was on Team Canada, he would have had some points to show for today's efforts.

It felt like parise would disappear for minutes on end. He should have been played more.

I love how it's totally acceptable to drop everything and watch a hockey (or soccer) match in the workplace or at school, lol. I love this country.
Good game.
Good game.
This is where you post a battle against those hockey player enemies in Galbadia Garden, Wazzy. Missed opportunity.
Shame Zetterberg is hurt, I would have liked to have seen him bind Crosby's panties up like he always does.
I kind of expect the same type of matchup vs Sweden. I don't think Sweden has the juice to beat this Canadian team. Well let me rephrase that, I don't think anyone has a chance against that D.

That I can agree with.

It's funny, the only saltiness I see is from one poster who was an obvious troll...

This is what I love about Olympic hockey and USA soccer teams. It is no sure thing that they will be victorious in their pursuit of gold. Makes it that much more meaningful. Now I am into the womens Olympic hockey, so gives me another set to watch in four years. Good gaming and congrats to the fn Canadians. Now I know how the Canadian women's soccer team felt.

Isn't it just awesome?
No reasonable hockey fan is going to argue that the US deserved to win this game so yeah, makes sense to go back to what a dickish dude said a day or so ago.
Not sure if serious... I have 5-6 of them that live a couple blocks from me. I think we already won that war.
Was surprised the lines weren't shuffled.
You could see Kesler's stink lines infecting Kane's play, causing him to coast, hoping that maybe he won't have to sit next to him next time on the bench.

Stay salty shug. <3
I'm looking forward to a return to the NHL where all will be right again.
Yeah, I'm not sure why everyone is saying we're being salty.

All in all good game, I think Canada's defense is playing amazing.
Should have moved Big Dick up.
Yo the olympics are family oriented okay.

Shoulda given more minutes to Blake Wheeler.
I still can't believe they never shuffled US lines. How badly does it have to go to change things up? Did Bylsma think we'd test new lines in game 2? Or wait until game 3 for home ice advantage?
Families love Big Dick.

That's it. NO KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE FOR YOU, HOSERS!
All of Canada's best players want to play for the Greatest Nation the World Has Ever Seen!
The shots on goal were deceiving. The US had 31 and Canada had 37.
