Should be a good game.
But best not to piss off the Tkachuk brothers.
They can score and or put on the foil.

Canada has the best 3 players in the game. McDavid, MacKinnon, and Makar. But the US has the best goalie in the world in Hellebucyk. In a short series, like this tournament or the Olympics, having the best goalie matters most and the US has him. Couple that with Canada already without 2 of their top 3 defense and maybe without Makar tonight too, I don't think Canada is strong enough defensively and in net to hold off the US.
I think the 5 on 5 play will be pretty much even, but Hellebucyk will make most of the big saves and Billington (CAN) won't. The US advantage in net is massive. I think the US wins the tournament too. This might be the best US roster ever, at least up there with the 96 team.
As for the booing, no one is booing Americans. They are booing one man. If the leader of another country threatened your sovereignty I hope every one of you would boo that nation's anthem as well.
I noticed Sid had 3 apples and was the POG.
The fans booed Auston Matthews. That is well documented.
Might have had nothing to do with the USA, but still kind of Philly-esque.
Don’t piss off the Tkachuk Brothers That would be unwise.
Toque wearing fuckwads are doing that proves what a dick country it is.
I hope they think before they act.
Respectful towards the anthems. It was quiet and then some dickhead started it. At this point, that whole country can go fuck itself.

Graduated. Great ceremony with tons of talk of the Warriors Ethos. No talk of DEI or any of the liberal bullshit you support. It was very cool to see and we are super proud of my son’s best friend. He is pumped about the direction from the SecDef.
Service to our nation commands great respect.
You should be pissed off seeing that.
Hegseth is unqualified and dangerous.
If he can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Gravy Train Joe and his handlers are gone now.
Let's also discuss some assistance with defense spending as we offer that freely as well...especially since Trudeau has been allowing Chinese troops to conduct war games for it's ground troops in the cold conditions of the north for possible battle against us some day.

On skates. Hellebuyck has to have a great game for the US to have a chance. Keep it close through the 1st and be extremely physical and I think the US pulls it off.
Top of the list is Neil Young. Notice he doesn't face the music with his black face leader and the way his government treated Canadiian citizens during covid. No songs Neil? Maybe Skynyrd was right. Bryan Adams, Martin Short, Joni Mitchell, Seth Rogan. Clean your motherland before you come for ours. I'm betting there's a lot more.
