New Years Eve Showdown: CANADA VS. USA

[pixburgher66]

I'll take a 1-0 Canada win in regulation with a strong performance by Jon Gillies between the pipes for the States.

He's worried me a bit so far...but he's only faced like five shots, and that's never easy.

USA looked good that first period. Now i'm back at work so i'll be following the game through you guys.

A bad penalty to Canada there...offensive zone.

horvat has to bleed there

What the...that's just ridiculous. 2 minutes for a guy skating into the goalies stick.

4-4
stupid penalty by Goalie

 

[oaknightshockey1]

That's bullshit. He skated right through the crease.

RILEY! BARBER! AHHHHHH! Was that a shorty?

Furcale *just* pulled off the post. Man.

TSN says even strength but I saw the PP time come up so I think it was technically a shorty as he was stepping on the ice

he attends MAF's goalie school in the offseasons

Hey...overcommitting is an art form.

NHLN is saying it was a shorty. The screen had 1:30PP time on when it went it, but that's not official.



Sidenote: Eichel is good.

 

[mattola]

i thought Drouin was supposed to be pretty good. I have not been impressed much with his play, his decisions are not great and his passes and shots are just off.

Turning into a track meet

I don't want to start trading odd man rushes with Canada.

 

[raptorlife4]

damn iron

BIG SAVE by Gillies on Drouin.
