BOOYEAH! Adios, star-spangled amigos. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Haha, Torts. (I have a love/hate relationship with the guy, though. I remember how he was great to a kid with special needs in New York, so I will always respect him for that. But he's turned into a bit of a clown.)
I also kind of feel bad for some of the Americans since they have to play the Czechs for no reason.
JVR can stay, though.

That Kessel tweet is amazing. Good on him.
He never should have been left off.

That was a pretty ridiculous display of dominance and they simply phoned it in during the 3rd.
What stood out for me was the incredible passing. I'm way too use to panicked passing out of our zone or going for Hail Mary plays or passing and having the receiving player fumble it. Here it was all fast, crisp, tape to tape, and the passes were taken in stride.
On top of that, the Canadians had some incredible stick checking going on too. The Americans never really had a chance to settle down and get time to make plays since a Canadian player was already stick checking them or already had positioning.
I can't imagine being on that US team though and being down 3 goals and you have to beat Carey Price 4 more times to win the game. On the flip side, I don't think Quick was to blame for that loss; the speed, skill, positioning of Canada and the terrible defense of the US gave Canada a ton of chances.
If there is any consolation, the US will have Gaudreau, Eichel, Matthews, Jones and more for next time (even if we'll have McDavid, MacKinnon, Rielly, and could've still put Hall, Seguin, and Ekblad).

kessel wouldn't have done anything against team canada, but he would've helped against the other teams for sure.
I have such disdain for Tortorella, I'm so happy to see him be completely embarrassed and exposed on the world stage. What an absolute prick and general idiot.

Saw the game at a hooters by Pearson airport. Surprisingly a good place to watch hockey and the food wasn't half bad either.
Sucks ass that the game is at 3pm, will miss it.

I actually went down to Distillery District yesterday to watch the game at Mill St. Brewery and check out the fan village. It was OK. Mostly a lot of "please give us your email and you can do this sorta interesting thing" like AR pictures, a 360° picture, small history section of the tournament, some skill games, etc. It was pretty quiet as late as 15mins before the game though...

American Hero John Gibson getting the start today (Matt Murray injured)
only in hockey would there be this much fallout from one sarcastic but intentionally vague tweet
I would imagine most players on that team would have a problem with it
It was directed at management, not the players. I would be pissed too if I was an American and had to play with Abdelkader over Kessel.
Then it would've been more pointed before the game rather than after a bitter loss.
I'm 100% certain that's how Phil meant it, but as a player, after that loss, after getting mountains of sarcastic shit slung at you and then you read that? I can't say I'm surprised.
I love the tweet, but it wasn't vague.
What I mean is it didn't directly call anybody out. It's obvious what he's referring to but you can't point a finger at him.
like, the fact some USA players thought he was referring to them shows not everyone really understood the message
