Winter Olympics 2010 Vancouver

What a finish that was to this amazing game. Would love to see these two teams play each other later on in the tournament as well (if that's possible).
 
Wow, what a game! The game was so awesome my internet decided to turn back on. Miller was an absolute wall the entire game. Canada had, what, 50 shots?

At least 45. Miller has been the best goalie in NHL this season, top top goalie.
 
Great game! Can't wait for the next one now.

Yeah Miller is incredible this year.
 
Indeed. Gonna watch King Henrik later?

Even though it doesn't start until midnight, I think I have to if the first two games today were anything to go by.

Haven't gotten to see him play yet in these Olympics..
 
The media ia already overstating this win calling it the 2nd biggest US win and calling it a devistating loss for Canada. Don't think so on either count.
 
Crap it's starting to become a struggle to stay up:D
 
Well then...

With all due credit to Miller and the US team, this is a shocking result because the entire point was to come in with questions and leave with answers... The end result was MORE questions than we started with.

1. My mysterious case of Jerome Iginla... Come on Babock, give us a fecking clue as to why the man who scored 3 goals in our first game is sitting on the 4th line with a under-used Brendan Morrow and a super useless Patrice Bergeron, it's baffling to say the least and with the exception of the last hurrah he was MIA... Are you racist Babcock?

2. Brodeur is a fecking cricket player in goalie attire, a man so reknown for his ability to handle the puck looked like an absolute spastic... Did splitting the first 2 games between he and Luongo end up being a mistake? What do we do now?

3. Why the feck does this "chemistry" thing seem to matter and take 3 (Or I suppose since we haven't hit the peak yet, 4) games to click if we've actually taken teammates, etc and leave the likes of St.Louis, Stamkios, Sharp, etc home? Morrow, Richards & Bergeron are useless, specialty players aren't needed if the stars of your team SPECIALIZE in these fields... Crosby is getting under 15 minutes a game, let him take the fecking faceoffs in out own end.

4. Though the line had intention, Staal, Getzlaf & Perry look awful, The Shark line, though they looked good in game 1, have looked less than awesome in the last 2 games and Thorton looks useless as a pilon... Ad dare I say needs to be broken up? Infact, Mr. Babcock, why don't you take a page from my book and fecking KEEP THE LINES THE SAME for more than a fecking period?

From now on they should look like this, though the likelyhood of that happening is as much as Germany beating us on Tuesday... Well, wait, maybe that's not so far off then?

Heatley-Crosby-Iginla (Self-explanitory)
Nash-Getzlaf-Perry (Re-energise Perry and Getzlaf with Nash off the boards)
Morrow-Toews-Richards (This should have been the line from day fecking 1)
Staal-Thornton-Marleau (Useless line)
Bergeron (Penalty kills only)

Weber-Doughty (Doughty has been our best player on D since his mistake)
Keith-Seabrook (Obviously)
Boyle-Neidermayer (No idea why this hasn't been tested)
(feck) Pronger

Luongo (Duh)
Fleury/Brodeur

Nazis, then Commies, before we make it back to Democracy... We can do it, but this is so, so sad.
 
I'll say it once more - Brodeur is overrated. A good amount of his stats are a product of the old NJ system. I really don't understand why more people don't see this. I'm not saying he's crap - just that I don't even think he's Canada's best goalie at this point in time.
 
Canada lost because they have a player named Toews, which is apparently pronounced Taves. They deserve it for that shit.

Considering he is, was, and will be for a long time, one of our best players and one of the best players in hockey, I suggest you sit on a nail.
 
I cant believe Statsny never got a DUI while he was at Denver, he used to drive around drunk out his mind on the reg
 
Patrick Roy, could be called Patrick feck you and I would be ok with it, the man was that good, one of the most clutch players I have ever seen

Seen him a few times before the Olympics with Devils. He looks completely out of sorts. They need to drop him and put Luongo in net.
 
AS is clearly taking this loss very hard. this wasn't the red army against a bunch of college kids. i expect as the games get more serious the stars on the canadian team will play more. wayne will make sure of it.

Yeah Canada need do or die games to perform their best.

Bad tackle by Pitkänen.
 
When the US almost scored 10 secs in, I really thought they would win, that said I still think Canada will win the Gold

Canada is up against Russia in the QF apparently if they beat Germany.
 
That will be a good one, Crosby v Ovechin yet again
 
Yeah they havent played that well in the tourny but they are a veyr very dangerous proposition for every single team out there
