Exhibition • Dec. 20 • United States 3, Sweden 2 (OT)
I'd be a bit surprised if Sweden doesn't win today considering the US is playing without six of their best players. It's clear the US is treating this as the final evaluation before the last cuts are made so many of the bubble players will probably get more ice time.
It's interesting that they're trying Lucia on the right side.
Looking forward to seeing how Tyler looks with other linemates. (used to seeing him with the gifted Jenner all year) Does anyone have a report on how his linemates play? (Playmaker, Sniper, pfwd, twfwd) Just want to see what player types would be best to match him with.
All right, with Morgan Rielly not playing as his best for Canada, I'm hoping Galchenyuk is going to tear this game up for the USA! lol (Habs vs Leafs!)

I'm a leaf fan and all, but don't think i could be 'cheering' for the USA and sporting their avy, simply because i have a club player on there.

He played fine it's not so much that he didn't play his best , it's more the fact he was utilized as #2 on his pairing forced to play back.

Granted I'm assuming you are Canadian.
To each his own.
Hahaha I'm 100% Canadian but I'm a fan of hockey first of all. For this tournament, I will always cheer for my country, Canada. When facing the US, I want Canada to beat the hell out of them. But outside of it, I will cheer for the US because of Galchenyuk for sure!

And, damn you! Your top prospect is Canadian
Fair enough, just making sure
I will be watching Biggs closely as well. Lets hope he works his way up onto a line with Alex, so Habs and Leaf fans can come together....yeah right.
From watching Oshawa generals a lot and going to a lot of there games im excited to see Biggs. As a big leaf fan im also excited to see Sparks in the net.
Jones says USA has the best team and will win gold. Man, I like his confidence
Go Seth Jones! Confidence is GOOD! I like their team, Canada will have a tough tourney if Subban continues in net. Won't be surprised of the American have an impressive tourney.
On a side note, I find it odd that Grimaldi and Gaudreau get the game off because they are 'locks' and Galchenyuk doesn't... Not that I am complaining or anything, because I wanted to watch him play for the US but I was just a little upset that Galchenyuk doesn't seem to be getting the same amount of respect as his NCAA counterparts.
