MacKinnon had that puck and he paused. If he actually just batted it off the boards it was arguably 2-0 the other way. No idea why he hesitated there.

Auston Matthews is an Olympic Champion.
Sam Bennett should be deported.
And 3 on 3 is a travesty.

Sam Bennet is literally Hitler

This game and the blue jays game 7 will haunt me for the rest of my life

McDavid pushing things that weren’t there.

Can’t lose the puck like that. We had our best players on the ice too

Honestly between the Jays loss and now this I think I’m really done with sports for a while

Well scrap 2026, year ruined

Ooof. Canada outplayed the USA completely. Next time boys gg

3 on 3 is a dumb way to end it. Said it before and I’ll say it now.

Congratulations to our captain Auston Matthews.
Otherwise, this stinks. MacKinnon makes that shot 999 999 times out of a million and just flubs it. Damn. We should have won.
twofactorial
ah shit…
interesting thing though is that in the past 5 NHL olympics, Canada has won 3 times (2002, 2010, 2014). The other two wins are Sweden (2006) and now the USA (2026)… and both of those wins are captained by Leafs captains (Sundin & Matthews)
PoipuMTG
they should have taken tavares
whatamidoing_2521
This really sucks. I’m gonna be thinking about all those open net misses for years.
NHLers at the Olympics rules, cant wait to do this again in 4 years

McKinnon had a brain fart.
RavenBlade87
Gutting. So many chances to score in the third went begging and then this bs in OT
kayesoob
Now we have to listen to how the Tkachuk brothers are Olympic champions for the next four years.
*vomits.

Maybe it’s not a Toronto thing… what are you gonna do, blame Leafs fans and the meeeeedia for this loss again?

Lol Mcdavid doing too much
FansTurnOnYou
Bro why was McDavid playing 1v3 hero ball. Just play normally.
Rapt0r5
Leafs lose to Florida in game 7.
Jays lose game 7 to Dodgers in the WS.
Women’s National team loses Gold to USA.
Men’s National team loses Gold to USA.
I am absolutely heartbroken. What a run of disappointing outcomes. I think I need a break from watching sports for a bit…
toedragrelease
Canada probably should’ve won that game. So many chances that you just have to put in the net.

McDavid caught with low effort back check on gwg

McDavid tried to hard to be the hero. Ended up costing them. Either way 3v3 is lame.

The better team doesn’t always win…
oppo0990
That was a terrible 3on3 strategy. Seems like they just kept trying to take it 1 on 3, nobody wanted to make a pass in the o zone. Helle won that game single handedly, it easily could have been 5-1 for Canada after 3
jdragon3
I said before overtime that it’s going to feel crappy either way because 3v3 is a gimmick and this is a stupid joke to have it in Olympic elimination games and now I’m just happy that it wasn’t Matthews cuz if he picked now to be clutch in a knockout game I’d lose my shit permanently

3-3 to end is horrific and gimmick shit
Actual_Cobbler_6334
Most of this roster shouldn’t be considered for 2030.
jordanwjamieson13
Sorry 3 on 3 was always gonna ruin this game for the better team. Embarrassing way to win and the Americans weren’t even close to competing. Fake gold medal.
123Disneyfan
Nothing in sports is worse than when the better team ends up losing but just the way it goes sometimes.
3-on-3 to end the gold medal match is an absolute carastrophe in planning on the olympics. End it in a dignified 5-on-5 for fucks sake.
Sirrebral99
Hellebuyck won that game for Team USA, that paddle save will go down as one of the best in Olympic history. Canada dominated the chances all game and he stood on his head, 41 saves on 42 shots all game long was the difference maker
What a banger of a game start to finish
CarriesLogs
I never want to see Bennett in a Canadian jersey ever again
brye86
Happy for Matthew’s. that’s the only good thing about this game tbh
DirtyToothpaste
Not here to bitch and moan. They had that game. Dominated for 50 mins. Hellebuyck stood on his head and we couldn’t capitalize on some chances. Do not like the 3 on 3 OT. Hurting for Sid. I don’t think he is back in 2030
Omerta_Ai
Losing to THEM at this current point in history…..infuriates me
SDS-ELRJ26
We are team Canada but for some reason are resorting to double shifting players lmao terrible roster building and coaching
Also Olympic golds being won in 3v3 overtime’s is absolutely discusting
Last time I ever want to see that bs

Very impressed with Matthews, I thought he was the best player on both teams until the 5 on 3 in the third period. Then Hellebuyck just took over, and put the States on his back.

Can’t pinch like that in 3-3 OT.

Calling it out..
Mcdavid – his backcheck on the 3 on 1…
He just stopped skating.
Watch it …
