They're bigger. They're faster, and they have more firepower top to bottom than this year's US team does. It was evident all tournament. The US does seem to have the upper hand in goaltending though.

This reminds me of the 2011 semi-finals in Buffalo.

I wouldn't say faster. US has a great skating team

Milano
DeAngelo
Compher
Eichel
Hanifin

All excellent skaters

These team USA jerseys remind me of the Bills road jerseys from the 2000s (the white version of the navy blue theme).

Agree. Not a fan. I don't love Canada's either. Too much black.

I don't disagree that the US has some skaters. I just think Canada has more of them.

I have a smartphone, so using an app like iHeartRadio, TuneIn, etc is an option. Just don't know what the station numbers would be to do a search.

Probably late but TSN690

I hope we don't lose this game because of discipline

I don't get what Canada's problem is here. McDavid sat on the guy.

Team Canada took exception to what happened to Mcdavd? What game are they watching?

Cheeky move to keep him offside, didn't even notice that originally.

I read a few articles on how important he was supposed to be this year for the US. Does the coach dislike him? Maybe he's playing hurt?

The only way the US will take gold this tournament is if somebody else figures out a way to beat Canada in the medal round.

Well ladies and Gents, must get ready for a party this evening...so signing off in a bit.

Happy New Year to you all..be safe out there!

Yeah, like the US did last year.

Canada built this team to beat the US, and they seem to have done a good job of it so far.

Not a bad idea, considering if you can design a team to beat your closest competition you've probably got a good shot against the rest.

The only way I can see Canada losing in this tournament is goaltending. Their netminders haven't been tested much, and I'm not sure they will. It may not matter.

That's what I'm banking on as well.

I'm here now...

Also, I absolutely can't wait for Don Cherry to point out, tomorrow, how the Canadians wear suits to their games and the US doesn't.
