    I think that people need to come to terms that probably 95% of American white professional athletes are likely huge Trumpers.

    Agreed, it’s a shitty fact, even the 1980s team was fawning over Trump years ago. Unless they pledge fealty to the dipshit, cheering on Team USA regardless. 

    Hard game to predict though. I feel like it’s either Canada 5-1 or US 3-2. Glad I’m not one to bet.

    a lot of the ones that have been concussed several times, I'd agree.

    Binnington is a weak link, how is he the best G Canada can muster?
    US 5-4.
    It’s confusing for sure. Logan Thompson would be better and he’s not even one of the 3. I would take Hill over Binnington too. Binnington has terrible numbers this season.

    Canada 5-1.  
    Hope I'm wrong but I think beating Canada 2x is a lot to ask.  Have some ridiculous players.

    Also, Matt KaFuck is one of my least favorite players.  (Will root for him tonight though)

    Somehow between our douchebag president and the Tkachuk brothers, I might end up rooting for Canada just to shut everyone up. 
    that’s how I’m leaning.

    That lady who sang the Canadian anthem was awful.  Was that intentional?

    felt bad for my fellow Winnipegger Chantal Kreviazuk (she and her husband, Our Lady Peace frontman Raine Maida met at a Pearl Jam concert). She was clearly nervous about the troglodytes booing the anthem. 

    Interesting lyric change (I think). Instead of "true patriot love, in all of us command" it sounded like she said "true patriot love, that only us command" like a shot at American patriotism, and the english language LOL. I could be wrong about that. I may have misheard.

    I don't know about her, just that she butchered that great anthem.  
    The booing was not loud and a given once people heard Canada booing the US anthem.
    (I don't blame them a bit for booing the US anthem)

    she's usually stellar. It was absolutely 100% nerves.

    Canadas carrying play but there’s such an advantage in goaltending for the US, there’s no margin for error.

    agreed. Binnington looks like he's flailing, getting lucky. Makes me glad Helluybuck is my goalie in the reg season.

    He seems to be a lock for the Vezina again
