@Ravix Canada definitely took a bit to find their feet. I was slightly worried after the scoreless 5 on 3 advantage but we pushed through. Hockey means far too much here for Canada to roll over. Bars were open at 5:00 am! It’s wild. C’mon boys!!! 🇨🇦

@Metonymy the open net 🙈

What is your opinion on referees not calling anything? Seen a few punches and lare hits sneaked in, and the too many men on the ice just now.

Wild game, though!

@Ravix The officiating overall has been lacking throughout the tournament so I’m not surprised but it is what it is. Can’t let it be a distraction. But yeah, such an entertaining game, which is what we all want at the end of the day. This is some great hockey.

@Ravix There it is. Congrats to @StitchJones. Hellebuyck was lights out. Devastating but what a game.

@Metonymy ouch, yeah. America held on because of the goaltender, for sure. It seems it was fated to be @StitchJones and America's day. The missed calls, not capitalising on the 5 on 3, the open net miss, and then eventually a breakaway from one mistake after finally dominating large parts of the game.

I don't love that a golden goal can decide it so early in OT, but it can't go on forever, I suppose 💀

@Ravix I really don’t like a game at this level being decided in 3 on 3. I’d like to see that change going forward. Like, you’ve Zambonied the ice and put 20 minutes on the board. It’s absurd. But like you said, I suppose it can’t go on forever.
