If USA won this it was always going to be because their goalies were just better. It's the one area (and maybe D) where they could match/exceed Canada.
It's like saying "yeah well we'd beat you if you didn't have Mahomes..."
Sure, but we do.
USA just has better goaltending than Canada.
Especially when you purposely don’t bring your best goalie [Reply]

Yeah - lots of Canada fans pissed they didn't start Hill but he's not great either. I don't think he's better or worse than Binner. He's about the same.
Thompson is, IMO, the only guy who could go in there and stare down Hellebuyck on any given night. [Reply]

Binnington almost cost them the Sweden game and arguably cost them this one.
If he’s in there against Finland Monday, they may miss out on the rematch Thursday [Reply]

Canada used to have the best goalies but other countries are getting better. Here's what we can learn from them
The 4 Nations Face-Off roster reveals in early December set off alarmists who bemoaned the selection of Team Canada goalies Jordan Binnington, Adin Hill and Sam Montembeault, as well as an alleged puck-stopping paucity stemming from the development system that spawned them.
Had you ingested much of that coverage, you could have been forgiven for believing the Americans, Swedes and Finns boasted the world’s top nine goaltenders while the second comings of Warren Score Against Me and Red Light Racicot were due to cost Canada any chance of tournament success in Montreal and Boston in February. Indeed, the on-air and online hand-wringing seemed surely to precipitate the next Open Ice Summit.

I will enjoy the great annexation of kannita
If we wanted to do it with force, it would take 2 minutes and 33 seconds. [Reply]
