Billy G took plenty of heat when the roster came out.  Glad he's the Wild GM.  

Proud USA Hockey member, double gold in hockey.

Is the USA captain Matthews?  He hasn’t really led by example this tournament.  All is good if you do something in overtime though.  Ever since that 5-3 power play for Canada, the momentum has been with them.

Was he not something like  4G 4A +7 for the tournament? Sounds like a Captain stat line

Redemption a bit for Connor Hellebuyck given his NHL playoff struggles. So dang proud of the guy. He played the game of his life out there.

I'm going over to X to read from the Canadian losers they really won the Gold cause of xG.....

I’m sure there’s a lot of talk about the missed call on the two many men on the ice by the U.S. but as Frank Serratore famously said in a post game interview following being tossed by the refs for clapping, if you look hard enough, you can find missed calls on just about every shift.

Actually, 3 & 4 with +3, so yeah much better than I thought.  I probably skewed it by wanting someone to step up when we couldn’t even get a sniff, especially on our 4 minute power play which was abysmal.  Being the goal scorer that he is, I wish he would have been a little more selfish on some of the early chances, but I will say the team as a whole got into a pure defensive posture out of the 5-3 power play by Canada, which isn’t conducive for any one individual to turn it around when the transition game just wasn’t there.

Nice to take the only two Golds Canada cares about

I’m sure you’ll take the high road after today’s results.

I agree @SIOUXFAN97!!!! 3×3 is risky! Players risk getting hurt 3×3. 5×5 for 5 minutes is a must!
