Team USA rested Hellebuyck against Sweden for this very reason. Not sure if Matthew Tkachuk will be a go though.

D McAvoy is out, big loss.

Canada gets D Makar back.

Need Hellebuyck to deliver an all-time performance. Canada probably has the edge 5on5 given the health of the two squads

(McAvoy out, Q. Hughes out, M. Tkachuck Questionable, B. Tkachuk Questionable, A. Matthews Questionable).

Canada is still without D Theodore, D Pietrangelo.

Well as an Avs fan Hellebuyck has been lights out against Mackinnon and Makar so that should work out in team USA's favor.

It's a matter of life and death for Canada, gotta give them the desperation edge. Kinda like USA Basketball.

Funny enough, some NBA players want to replace their All Star game with a US vs the World tourney after seeing the 4-Nations the last few days.

Obvious need but they won't have the passion still

the nhl guys will sacrifice everything for their country to win

its rooted not in nationalism but youth programs. They grow up on their national team (or dreaming of it) long before the pro career

if im the nba I would sponsor YOUTH international big tournaments

im almost 40 and I dreamed of being on the Ann Arbor program. If you get into coaching, you're going to classes with the programs teachings

US hockey post 2000 turn around is an amazing story to change it's sport culture and it's so much better now on all levels

i posted a clip if y daughter on IG running a drill straight out of US hockey. Emphasizing puck touches and small games. The US team roots run so deep

i grew up in ice hockey in US were coaches ran the Oklahoma drill. It was taught to basically be tough nasty physical . Oh and skating and skills? Huh?

the program changed US hockey on all levels to teach skills and better youth training. Realizing teaching kids hockey is bashing each others heads is dumb, teaching kids to use skills and have fun is good.

Hoping Trump doesn't go to the game tho

kiss of death (see chiefs)

I dont think he is, he made a phone all to the team and tweeted on it

He just used AF1 to fly from one part of Florida to another and appears to be on a golf course.

Great 49ers gift ideas ⇨

Canada playing just about flawless….

Nice period.

Wow, huge win for us to tie it up

Nice shot Sam Bennett!

Wowowow thought Canada had it there at the end of 3rd
