I'm sure the Bell Centre will be all a buzz tonight as some of their favourite players are in action. Matthews and Brady on the American side and Marner and Marchand on the Canadian side.
The key to Canada's game this evening, Binnington can't suck. He allowed 3 goals on 26 shots against Sweden. His last 10 starts for the Blues before the break, he was 4-5-1, 3.17GAA, .889SV%.
Mediocre, like George Costanza, not showing off, not falling behind.
Sidney Crosby as captain of Canada is 26-0. He looked kind of good against Sweden with his 3 primary assists, Sid the Kid, the oldest player in the tournament has not lost a step.
Canada's line up changes. One Flyer goes in (Sanheim), one comes out (Konecny). Sam Bennett is in playing the role of John Tonelli circa 1984.
This is the 15th time Canada and USA have met in a best on best NHL sanctioned tournament. Last being in 2016, Matt Duchene with the winner. Another classic awaits us tonight.
