  1. Good to see Canada get their act together. Blast I heard they were stinking it up out there.

  2. Everyone in Canada never gave this team a chance. All said they were the shittiest team ever sent by Canada to the worlds.

  3. You know I'm not even mad, at least Team Canada is giving Leafs, Sens, 'Nucks, and Oilers fans something to be proud of after how this season went. GG Team Canada, now go win Gold!

  4. Pretty shocked they've actually made it to the finals. I thought losing to Latvia was sign of how we would perform overall.

  5. Idk much about the other rosters, but I would think that this is less surprising than the win against Russia simply because the Americans are likely just as impacted by the NHL schedule this year as Canada (give or take), whereas the other European countries were likely still affected, but less so.

  6. Most people didn't realize how good Mangiapane was before this tournament. He was 2nd is 5v5 goals per 60 min last year

  7. Just the fact that they came back from a really poor tournament start to make it to the finals is nothing short of spectacular. The final will definitely be a tight affair, but anything is possible in a final as we have seen it so many times. Go Canada!

  8. This team has absolutely surprised me from day one. I've been watching every game. They steadily improved every game and never, ever threw in the towel and just kept getting better. They put in the work and figured out how to play together. Huge. It's a credit to all of these guys and the coaching that they came together like this. And there was almost no way Kuemper could keep playing as poorly as he was. I'm almost more proud of this Team Canada than other loaded Canadian teams that have won this and the Olympics. And the Leafs and their fans should realize what a stalwart player they lost when Brown ended up with the Sens. Like the little engine that could, he never gives up a play and has proven he can drive a team.

  9. Team Canada, "sleeper team" of the tournament. Wow. Nothing more dangerous than a Canadian team that is written off.

  10. Hockey is not grown much at all on the world stage. Same 6 contenders Can, Rus, U.S., Swed, Czec, Finland. No growth for more than 1/2 a century. Just like the NHL little to no diversity yet all the so called push for it.

  11. All you snowflakes who are surprised to see Canada pull it together and make the finals need to take this as a learning experience and grow a pair moving forward. We can't have the next generation of Canadian hockey fans acting like a bunch of Americans.

  12. God bless this great herbalist called Dr OSABA on YouTube I has done wonders in my life what many doctors told me it is incurable, he cured it, am free from from HERPES VIRUS

  13. ‘It’s happening & it’s probably spreading’: Canadian health officials baffled by MYSTERY deadly brain disease.

  14. These can't be the real teams right. If they're using NHL guys then most of the best one's are in the playoffs.

  15. I back peddle, two accusations after third game, and Gerard Gallant,the best available coach for NHL, if Leafs had Gallant they would have balls
