[GuessWho]

Canada's D is just too good. They are carrying this team completely.

You know it's good when a Norris trophy is benched.

 

[RoKKeR]

Anywhere to listen to this on the radio in America?

 

[Divvy]

These goalies are playing great. That Benn score was a ridiculous combination, and sets the standard on the quality of chance required to score on these dudes.

Agreed. This game is completely on the goalies and the defensemen right now.

 

[theignoramus]

US can barely get a good scoring opportunity on PP. If we go up 2 goals I think we can close it out.

Canada's D is just too good. They are carrying this team completely.

I agree - conversely, why is the US using Faulk, Shattenkirk and Carlson? Way too much offensive-minded D-men. Where is Paul Martin?

US D is way too open and forwards are lackadaisical. They will need their best period of the tournament to score a goal against Canada.

 

[JABEE]

Only 1-goal down right now. Need to pick up the play.

 

[Hunter S.]

Classic case of trying to be too pretty and not taking shots.

 

[Acid08]

Benn has been an absolute monster this game.


I'm a Price fan, just echoing all the people in this thread that were shitting on Price prior to this game.

It's okay. One more period for Price to show his true nature. We all know it'll happen.

Martin is hurt with a broken hand, otherwise he would definitely be playing.

 

[MetatronM]

Canadian forecheck is keeping pressure in the American zone, and the D isn't giving away much of anything.

This has the look of a 2-0 final. Hopefully I'm wrong.

 

[zroid]

So far this game has been going on a very similar track to the women's final :lol (except the teams' roles are reversed)

Pretty sure Martin is injured.

 

[OriginofHysteria]

USA just trying to make Canada feel what its like to give up a lead

 

[Dynedom]

Loving the penalty kill.

 

[yankeehater]

Much better period for the US. I still dont see how they score unless it is some crazy fluke play.

Martin is injured, no choice but to use what we have. Which wasn't all that great to begin with.

 

[j-wood]

Why the hell can't USA get the puck in the net

 

[Heshinsi]

Holy shit, what a fantastic day for Canada medal wise. So proud of our athletes.

.

Going to be pretty pissed if Kane never really shows up this tourney.

 

[kingkitty]

USA has too much freedom, explains the performance.

 

[snack]

Canadian pride. Tears of maple syrup.

 

[Syf]

St. Louis riding the bench while Kunitz gets to take dumps all over the ice is a crime.

Going to be pretty pissed if Kane never really shows up this tourney.

I'm really disappointed with him right now. Just not skating hard at all. JVR has been totally invisible today too.

 

[Blader]

We're going to lose. US is too content with just passing around the zone and taking shots from far out. Price is playing really well too, but we're just not putting any real pressure on.

Something something eggs something before they hatch

He always skates like that.

 

[Conceptor]

Second period had me in nervous stitches, ugh lol

 

[RangersFan]

Bylsma fucking adjust you asshole.

 

[alexthekid]

I'm really disappointed with him right now. Just not skating hard at all. JVR has been totally invisible today too.

It is one thing to expect him to score, but skate hard? You cant demand that man

 

[zroid]

This sudden surge of US pessimism is an obvious ploy to make us complacent. Don't fall for it, homies!

 

[jl4855]

DAT CANUCK D

 

[Blader]

also, I lol'd at Kunitz being tossed down the ice. Need a gif of that.

Sarcasm meter is broken.

Actually it is quite exciting to see Price playing for team Canada. Before Carey Price moved up into the WHL and then the NHL, he used to play on the local Hockey team in my hometown. I see quite a few people around town wearing Montreal Jersey's with Price's name on it, and I'm in BC.

 

[Acid08]

Bylsma fucking adjust you asshole.

If Kesler is injured they're going to have to. Still think they should move him down anyway, he hasn't been great. Move Backes up.

 

[theignoramus]

I mean, you're one rebound away from tying this game up with 20 minutes of hockey left to play. and fucking Kessel scares me.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

He always skates like that.

Probably referring to the 1-2 finish in ski cross and the men's curling team.

 

[Onion_Relish]

USA has too much freedom, explains the performance.

Canada actually ranks higher on freedom indices than the US does. US isn't free enough.

 

[zer0blivion]

Something something eggs something before they hatch

Men's curling, gold and silver in women's ski cross have already hatched.

 

[RangersFan]

If Kesler is injured they're going to have to. Still think they should move him down anyway, he hasn't been great. Move Backes up.

I've been saying that since the 1st period. Kesler looks bad Put Backes or Pavs with Kane parise

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

If Kesler is injured they're going to have to. Still think they should move him down anyway, he hasn't been great. Move Backes up.

JVR - Backes - Kessel
Parise - Pavelski - Kane

?

 

[Buba Big Guns]

St. Louis riding the bench while Kunitz gets to take dumps all over the ice is a crime.

this really pisses me off. Fuck you Bab****

 

[wsoxfan1214]

Ah, wasn't paying attention to the other events.

 

[zer0blivion]

this really pisses me off. Fuck you Bab****

Who is Babfuck?

 

[snack]

I don't think Kesler is injured. He always looks in pain after a blocked shot.

 

[Eleuin]

this really pisses me off. Fuck you Bab****

why are you censoring cock?

 

[Acid08]

JVR - Backes - Kessel
Parise - Pavelski - Kane

?

Can't be worse than what we've been playing. Kane and Pavs have looked good together before.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Kesler has been pretty average all year for the Canucks. 2010 and 2011 Nashville are looking pretty distant.

Now that I said that he's going to score.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Too much passy passy from both teams. Cagey game thus far.

Babcockian.

 

[Trey]

The stats corroborate what the game looks like: Cananda is playing slightly better.

America, now is your time for glory. Nut the fuck up.

 

[Hunter S.]

No matter who wins the gold there will be an Avalanche on the team so fuck Canada. lol

 

[Mr.Mike]

I'd like to take a second to let everyone know that Canada is climbing back up the medal standings.

We just need one more gold in addition to this Men's Hockey gold we're grabbing here and we'll be #1!
