Good point.

McKenzie and LeBrun both think the Price will be the #1 guy once this really gets going. The USA is playing Brown on the first line too apparently, are they hoping he injures other countries top lines?

If they put up Brown-Kesler-Kane that line's gonna wreck havoc everywhere on the ice.

 

[Red_Man]

I'd think having Brown out there against other teams top lines on the big ice would be a disadvantage.

You won't be saying that after he rips Crosby's knee in half.

Wrecking knees, diving hard, smashing fatties.

Lttp but Sweden/Czech game was surprisingly interesting, shame they allowed so many goals before putting up a fight.

Gonna be a good tournament.

 

[ShaneB]

My goodness on TSN Tessa Bonhomme is gorgeous.

 

[lamaroo]

What's the purpose of the goal not being unmovable? Seems like it just gives goalies an extra opportunity to stop play.

Edit: How shitty are these Czech goalies?

 

[Curufinwe]

Love this tweet. More hockey writers should call out that self serving creep.

@billmeltzer: Pierre having fun mocking Czech coach, since kissing his butt would be of no name-dropping benefit.

 

[Socreges]

Yep.

Fuck. Stamkos + Crosby would've been something.

I fucking love this.

 

[Buba Big Guns]

looking more into this Czech team, these player choices are mindbogglingly stupid.

McKenzie made some comments earlier today implying that player management was manipulated by politics.

Yea Im guessing some heavy pressure from the KHL. How do you start a KHL goalie against top flight NHLers? No disrespect to the KHL, but the talent level just isn't there. No Neuvirth, Kindl, Vrbata, Hudler...they deserve to lose.

No kidding. Even those who were nominated are mismanaged. Michalek&Hemsky played 7mins.

 

[Red_Man]

something is going on with the Czech team and it has to do with player selection and usage due to politics.....Kaberle and Berenka over Polak and Hejda? Nedved and Novotny over Hudler and Vrbata? Then they hardly played Hemsky

Must feel pretty shitty for guys like Hudler who should obviously be there, to be left off for stupid reasons like this.

 

[zroid]

Coach's Corner today was great. Don Cherry not only fawning over an entire team, but an entire team of women. Doesn't get any better than that.

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

Because on hfboards he was the next Chris Pronger...

This + NHL 12 or whatever was probably a big part of my thoughts on him, to be honest.

It's a mystery....

He's pretty good at scoring.

#61 real Canadian hero Rick Nash don't let me down.

Well, it's just the one game, so we might have just been seeing the Czech coaches play the KHL guys so they could find out what they had.

Ohgod kassatsu, your avatar is nearly as bad as mine

 

[Freyjadour]

Over/under on Halak getting pulled tomorrow?

Surprised there's no crying eagle tossed in there somewhere.

US Lines vs. SVK

Dat 3rd line. Dat Brown over Pacioretty.

Man, if Okposo was on that top line instead of Callahan, you'd have a stew going, baby!

Stoked for this game tomorrow.

Never has a forward line been formed where each player hated the other so much.

Really good lines. Thankfully Canada's are even better.

 

[equippedwithtowel]

The US is definitely weaker down the middle. Whether or not its enough to prove a difference maker I'm less sure of.

 

[dofry]

Is there any streams I could use to watch the games on the net? I am in Japan and they do not show hockey.
Mainly Finnish games but any broadcast would work as I can use radio to "overdub" with finnish.

 

[calder]

Seen this image a few times last few days before Price was announced as game 1 starter... and I'm sure we'll see it again.

It's just perfect. Every news editor with a story about the Team Canada goalie decision wanted a good pic of both guys together, ideally a photo with some side-eye or both guys looking the other way, you know something that looked like some Othello shit might be going down.

 

[Uncle]

And Austria takes the lead.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Austria scores on Tuuka Rask 36 seconds in LOL

 

[Smiley90]

Luongo gonna have a very difficult task at hand I see.

 

[calder]

Shocking start lol.

Why do I have to watch this on my iPad? Why isn't this on TV?! Common CBC surely you don't need a full goddamn HOUR of interviews with figure skaters.
