Now that this tournament is over, can Keith Tkachuk go back to whatever rock he has been under?

If you've seen Keith lately, it needs to be a pretty big rock.

Yep, never was a fan of his and I really don't need to see him on TV just because his two boys play in the NHL

Maybe they’ll discuss asking him to take a step back in the group chat.

The Willy Wonka remake looks amazing.

Winter Olympics in a little under a year, I expect to see these same two teams again battling for gold.

But we might be dealing with the Ruskie factor too

And the Slovaks are a budding force

Thompson, Caufield, Jason Robertson left off the team. Kyle Connor scratched, but the 3 shitty Rangers forwards and Brock Nelson got to play

I've been away on ski trip, so not following the news.. but Kyle Connor was a HEALTHY scratch?!? With Kreider and Nelson in the lineup?

Yikes. Just awful.

Lucky kids.

so the other bench had an ipad showing the game.
when canada scored, some dude raced to the time keeper's bench to blast the buzzer so we could all gather round, watch the replay and have a bit of a celebration.

in a truly Canadian moment, stopped the hockey game to celebrate a hockey game.

That is the Mike Sullivan way we all come to love.

Seeing players like Hayes, Nieto and Accairi get ice time for a last place team vs younger players is mind numbing.

Tkachuk clearly hurt himself with the staged fight last game and didn't play past minute 2 of the second period. Selfish to ask to be put in. You have to know you couldn't go. Then Sully added Kreider who also got stapled to the bench.

Two reasons why Connor wasn't in. HUGE mistakes.

Just to be clear, my complaints about the overall roster of team USA or the starting roster last night - I'm not trying to take anything away from Canada's win. They could have easily won with those changes too, I just don't think team USA management did a very good job.

Thanks Bill "I Could Have Been In Mask" Guerin.

What a great tournament and final. Congrats to Canada. I absolutely loved that they did this. I'm already looking forward to the next one. Hopefully the injuries don't sour the NHL on holding tourneys like this in the future.

Tage and Caufield not going are just blazingly bad decisions.

Binnington delivered last night and kudos to him, but my goodness the US has leapfrogged Canada as far as developing goalies is concerned.
