The Tkachuk boys get to stay in Keith’s will. If you saw the pregame, you’ll understand!!!

It felt to me like #97 overplayed the puck on both of his OT rushes, resulting in a couple of costly turnovers.

Hughes with a nice hustle play to tip the puck ahead in neutral ice. Werenski with his play of the tournament tipping the puck ahead, taking out his guy, and sending a laser over to Hughes. Unbelievable shift by those guys!!

A pair of teeth for a gold medal…

 

That's a pretty good deal, if you ask me. 

 

I would trade a pair of teeth for a State Championship, Nat’l Championship, Stanley Cup or a Gold Medal!!!

That would be a good mouth of implants!!!

 

Having that smile being part of this game I’d take my time getting that fixed if ever.

At first, I thought the players in confusion may have left to the locker room to get the jersey and Tkachuk was smiling, cause he had it the whole time.

Hellebuyck doesn’t get MVP, my guess is if he notched a SO along the way he’d likely have it.

McDavid was unquestionably the best player in the tournament, but you don't get to be MVP if your team doesn't win a 6 game tournament.

Tournament MVP can't be 0 points and minus 2 in the Gold Medal game.

Hate to rub it in, but we watched the win sitting in our VRBO looking over the Caribbean in Belize!  Had a bit of a panic not finding the game on tv.  Finally got a Canadian station, that made for interesting viewing!  Certainly a different perspective.  Commentators had US depth as a winning factor in overtime and missing Crosby as a negative for Canada, that proved true.  We think the people next to us ARE Canadian as we heard big howls when the US scored.  Hee hee, we’ll try to not rub it in at the pool.  Dennis is wearing his Gopher hockey tee shirt.

Almost the same spot on the ice Sid scored from in OT. 
Karma baby!

Canadian fans on social media already complaining about OT being 3x3… but 4x4 in Vancouver… crickets.

 

I’d bet they didn’t complain about 3x3 after beating Czech or Finland.

Was too busy crying like a toddler on my girlfriend’s shoulder to see any replay of the goal. At some point I suppose still playing freebird and enjoying the moment extensively.😁

They might never allow Nathan MacKinnon back into the country.  Misses the wide open net in the 3rd and then gets absolutely punked by Werenski to setup the Hughes goal.

 

Next most enjoyable thing to watching the US win gold - seeing 3 Avs get worked on both US goals.  First Boldy splits Toews and Makar, then Werenski gets the best of MacKinnon.

 

Also, what was McDavid thinking on that 1 vs. 3 OT rush?

Best thing that happened for the US was a twenty minute break after the third. 
Second best was keeping the Tkachuk bros off the ice in OT, at least I don’t think either played in OT. 
Still can’t believe Makar pinched and basically MacDavid floated back into the play with everything on the line.

My favorite part about the GWG- If MacKinnon has the balls to step up on the puck when he had an easy play, Makar and McDavid are likely 2x0 with Hellebuyk. Nothing more satisfying than watching him choke.

Also, what was McDavid thinking on that 1 vs. 3 OT rush?  

Probably the same thing he was thinking on the first rush when he whiffed on the puck. He saw himself wearing gold.  His two rushes could have been zone possessions, which is huge in 3x3. Instead, they were turnovers.

It was a perfect storm. Double-shifted McDavid was a little gassed after his rush,. Werenskis pass to Hughes was a partial whiff, which caused Makaar to step up. Hughes wins that puck battle making it 3 on 1 against a forward.

3x3 should have favored Canada, but the US was better in OT. It  felt like Canada tried to win it on  individual effort in the end.

have no idea what MacKinnon was doing, and may have been why you don’t see either Makar or mcdavid in the screen on the goal as it looked like a pretty simple grab and throw the puck for a 2 on 0. Guys going to have nightmares about this game for a long long time when you add the wide open net he missed as well

It felt to me like #97 overplayed the puck on both of his OT rushes, resulting in a couple of costly turnovers.

Hughes with a nice hustle play to tip the puck ahead in neutral ice. Werenski with his play of the tournament tipping the puck ahead, taking out his guy, and sending a laser over to Hughes. Unbelievable shift by those guys!!

 

My question is what happened to Makar on that play? No idea if he was gassed or not, but his backcheck effort after the pinch on the goal Hughes scored raised my eyebrows.

He was dogging it hoping it would come back the other way. Quite the gamble to make in an Olympic Gold game. No doubt if he comes back hard he has a chance to be back in that play.
