A little redemption there for Suzuki. What a beautiful tip.

Attaboy, Marner! Team Canada moves on to the semis.

Suzuki work on Canada's third goal was outstanding. But, yes Marner showed his talent in OT.

Hockey was so very competitive and fun to watch
Thankfully, our 🇨🇦 lads got the victory

Yes, that's just sad. Suspend all four refs.

I would like to see Bennett and Jmoe back in the lineup.

Canada dominated most of this game. In the end, you have to score when you have wide open nets.

Yup, multiple chances that just didn't cross the line
The effort by our Canadian lads was first rate most times

I can't believe the criticism and hard knocks McDavid has taken over this loss. The man is only human and can only do so much. Without him we don't even get out of the playoff rounds. We had zero puck luck in that gold medal game, zero. We were clearly the better team, but Sometimes the bounces just don't go your way, and a lot of bounces didn't go our way. There no point p*##ing and moaning about the 3 on 3 overtime, who went who didn't go, fact is our 3 best players were on the ice and there was a calamity of things that went wrong, but seriously, with the game on the line and you have Nate Connor and makar on he ice, you ve done all you can do to win the game, but sometimes you need to get a bounce even the best players in the world need a.bounce sometimes

MacKinnon missing the gaping net, Hellebuyck making a miraculous save on Toews, squandering a 90-sec. 5v3 powerplay: three things that immediately come to mind that if they go the other way, Canada likely wins the game. The better team didn't win but that's just how it goes sometimes, especially with 3v3 OT.

McDavid was the MVP and best forward of the tournament and set a record for points scored. Anyone criticizing his performance is simply being irrational.

Totally agree. The man is a threat to score everytime he's on the ice and represented us with dignity and class. Those questioning why he can't win the big one fail to understand that largely depends on the rest of the roster but that doesn't mean he isn't the best player in the game and possibly ever

The blatant too many men missed call was crushing, the bench reacted, and you know it was a let down for them.

The best team doesn't always win, puck luck means a lot.

Losing Crosby and Morrissey were huge as well.

The worst part is the way Trump and his cronies are lauding this as some great achievement, after 24 years of no Gold.

Air Force One picking up the team, feeding them McDonalds at the White House? 

Pretty sad, really.
Unabashed positron.  Blue koolaid in my fridge.  I wear my blue sunglasses at night.  Homer, d'oh.

Eh. This team had the horses to win gold even with those two out of the line-up. I do think Morrissey's puck moving ability would've come in handy the last two games, especially in OT.

I completely agree with you on the post-game activities of the the gold medal winning team. Forever tainted, IMO.
