Canada are the favorites to win it all, but the loss of Tavares might be kinda big. USA has been rolling, too. I will definitely tune in to this one.

It's going to be interesting as Canada has pretty much been in a dogfight with every team in the Olympics why the USA has rolled over their opponents for the most part.

It's one of those "somethings got to give" type of games.

Canada's problem is they haven't always had their best players play on the Olympic squads. Add to that, that they expect to win and don't try as hard, making them lose sometimes. It could happen to them vs the USA, because Canada is still the better team when they want to be. USA always plays with something to prove, which is good and will serve you well. For my countries sake, I hope Canada works hard and smacks you Americans around.

It could go either way.

But until the game starts, a little reminder to let you know who's your daddy.

They have since they started to allow Pros. At least the USA beat both the Russians and the Czechs in Olympic play before they split up.

Basketball might be a more global sport. But 1 through 6, international hockey is more unpredictable and wide open. NHL would be stupid to pull their players from future Olympics.

Since they started to allow pros, Canada doesn't always (they're usually missing a few guys) have it's best players out there. I respect USA hockey and don't hate Americans at all, but you guys have enough already, sports wise.
No we do not. I have no hate for Canada. Ok maybe. LOL. Go USA.

Today would have been a good day for Canada to make a statement against lowly Latvia. Instead they could only get 2 (on 57 SA) by a goalie who spent time in the ECHL this season.

The U.S should be favored in this game cause they've been playing cool as a cucumber, while Babcock is still trying to figure his lines.

Kelly Cup is where it's at. GO ACES!

As far as the game, Canada may have the best players, but the US has the best goalie!

Riley stick to a sport you know something about. Hockey is not one of them. Hockey has the hand eye coordination of Baseball. Hitting of Football and at times even greater. The stick handling or dribbling of Basketball. Now go crawl in a hole. You know nothing about Hockey. Fool.

Oh you can not skate. You most likely can not even do a hockey stop. How about lifting a puck. Hell you do not even know the rules of hockey. Now go back to your LeBron doll.
