Hate to say this but the USA played a perfect game here.
Defensively they were impenetrable.

Canada will have to beat Finland in Regulation. The last time Crosby and Canada lost to the USA was in the 2010 Olympic round-robin, Canada came back to win the Gold medal against the USA.
They could still get by with just an OT win. However, don't want to count on a US team who will have a let down in energy and urgency next game after clinching... especially against a Sweden team who will be playing with urgency.
You can bet that The USA will try hard to beat Sweden. The USA are cocky and loves a rematch with Canada.
Have to say Matthews was very noticeable. He needs to play like this in the playoffs.
Marner didn't notice him at all until the turnover with the goalie pulled.
They're going to need Makar if they play US in the Finals.
Bottom line if Canada can't beat Finland in regulation they don't deserve the title regardless.

One soft goal was the difference. I like our chances in a rematch if we can get better goaltending than that.
Unless the playoff version of Hellebuyck shows up I don't know how any team has a reasonable chance to beat what I have seen so far.
I don't follow hockey guys but I think Booing National Anthem is really bad. We ended up losing to US. Check the headlines for Fox. They are laughing at us. We are Canadians right? We are better, humble then them. Not right guys.
I think that Canada is fully entitled to show an absolute lack of respect for the scum that is ruling the USA and idiots that voted them in. In addition to booing I would have liked the fans sitting in the seats with their hats on during the US anthem.
Based on current going-ons down there the USA is fully entitled to be amongst the least respected and most hated nations in the world.

I'm with you brother, when a country threatens our sovereignty, we have the freedom of expression.
Canada wins in regulation against Finland and Canada advances. No matter how Sweden does. the tie breaker is most regulation wins, then OT wins, then goal difference.
