But what does Peter Forsberg think

the people who tested, reported, and pulled away Backstrom are all Canadian i betcha

 

[RC]

Kunitz redeemed.

He's broken even.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

I think Glenn Healy could backstop this team to the gold medal.

Barely any scoring chances for the other team.

Nah Price did well out there. I give him props. But it is easy to stop pucks when you got that D in front.

 

[dem]

The "banned substance list" needs an overhaul.

Keep catching those cold medicine cheaters, IOC.

 

[Simon Belmont]

so does nasal spray, its not really an issue at all

pseudoephedrine isnt really an enhancing drug as much as smelling salts are

You'd think the team Sweden docs would do a better job of telling the players what will get them banned.

It is when you're an athlete. You clear all medications and supplements with a doctor. You don't just walk into a pharmacy and grab something from the shelf

yeah thats a real blunder on their part. embarrassing for the medical staff on sweden

 

[criesofthepast]

This penalty kill is god status.

 

[Red_Man]

uh what

Apparently, many migraine Rx contains pseudoephedrine.

EDIT: Don't forget Yogi Berra guys !

Didn't realize, still seems suspicious.

 

[lamaroo]

Sucks Swedens best forward couldn't play because of a runny nose.

 

[Fuzzy]

Remember the good old days of NHL teams having a bowl of Sudafed in the dressing room? :lol

 

[Wendel Clark]

Tournament is over so OEL finally gets to play

 

[Kave_Man]

Millions across Canada feel this game is in the bag, Torontonians see a 3 goal lead, yellow in opponents jerseys, feeling extra nervous

Never forget.

 

[shadowkat]

This is fucking huge. What an idiot, I'm surprised as hell.

It's in a lot of things though.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Didn't realize, still seems suspicious.

Oh yeah that cold medicine is a real danger

 

[Stet]

He probably thought pseudoephedrine was the name of the Swede who invented the medicine.

 

[zroid]

Swedes in this period caught the same bug the Americans did yesterday after giving up 2 in 10 seconds

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Lol a Swedish giveaway on the PP in their own zone.

 

[Wazzy]

Noice PK

Finish them hard.

 

[Kifimbo]

Tournament is over so OEL finally gets to play

What's the reason ?

 

[Big-E]

Player of the game should go to Price for weathering the early storm. Sweden scores first its a different game.

 

[MeBecomingI]

I don't understand why you're so salty. We're winning so what we're doing is obviously working. It's not like Patrick Sharp is going to make or break this team.

Because it kind of sucks to see one of the strongest forwards in the league relegated to warming the bench. If it isn't going to make or break this team, why take him off and sit him for the entire game then? Throw him on and get him some ice time in the final game of the tournament.

But whatever, we are winning so it is what it is what it is.

 

[nullref]

I love this goddamn team. They're beautiful.

 

[Silexx]

Us Sens fans can't be too surprised about this. Players who play(ed) for the Senators never show up in afternoon games.

 

[Madness]

Was that a power play for Team Canada? Lol. Barely any offensive zone possession for Sweden.

 

[MBR]

We can't even do anything in PP, it's over. It looked great in the beginning, but it ran out quickly.

Grats Canada!

 

[TUSR]

weber and keith are the stars of the tournament, what a stellar combo

 

[Divvy]

DAT PK

 

[mohsinkhan]

Canada's plays without the puck have been amazing.

 

[shadowkat]

Never forget.

 

[Onion_Relish]

Like delicious Maple syrup, Canada keeps pouring it on

 

[Wazzy]

Shut them the fuck out Price. I believe in you.

 

[Heshinsi]

OLE OLE OLE OLE

 

[Kifimbo]

OLE OLE OLE OLE

Don't.

 

[Conceptor]

Agreed. No panic, all composure, solid decisions against every line Babcock matches them up with

 

[pringles]

Backstrom's never been a Senator.

 

[Big-E]

Entertaining first period but other than that its been too one sided. The Vancouver tourney was more entertainingvon the whole.

 

[Cake Boss]

Didn't realize, still seems suspicious.

Looool wut

 

[Bigfoot]

OLE OLE OLE OLE

OLE

 

[yuraya]

Terrible game by the Swedes. Congrats CanadaGaf for the gold.

 

[Play-Stay-Tion]

Don't.

At 6:30 on game nights in Montreal, as the fans start streaming into the Molson Centre, as the TV sportscasters fidget while waiting to deliver their live reports, as the hot dogs grill in the press lounge, Canadiens goaltender Andy Moog goes through his pregame routine in the dressing room. He takes two Sudafed tablets and washes them down with a cup of water—it is not a question of health but of habit. Moog took Sudafed for the first time six or seven years ago, when he was with the Boston Bruins, because he had a terrible head cold. Since then, his remedy has become his ritual. Four other Canadiens also reach regularly for Sudeys, as they sometimes call them, to kick-start their motors, to get ready to play. For these men a game face includes an open mouth and a couple of hockey's little helpers.

A similar scene is being played out in dressing rooms throughout the NHL. The exact number of players who use Sudafed, a nonprescription drug that contains the stimulant pseudoephedrine, in an effort to boost their performance on the ice, is unclear. Two NHL trainers estimate that before a game 20% of the league's players routinely take over-the-counter medications that contain pseudoephedrine, not to combat the sniffles, as the manufacturers intended, but to feel a little buzz. The NHL, however, disputes that figure, saying the percentage of players using drugs such as Sudafed is much lower and that they use them for medicinal purposes only.

Pseudoephedrine and hockey is a thing.

Keep that commie chant outta here

Keith looked like a pee wee twice against the USA in the first period. Other than that, I agree.

 

[chronosic]

OLE OLE OLE OLE

Bad!

 

[Wendel Clark]

What's the reason ?

The coach doesn't like him for some reason. He was the WJC coach and didn't choose him for the 2009 team either. I don't think it would make a difference in this game but it's not giving yourself the best chance to win.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

This is Awesome

 

[RC]

Forget Swedish meatballs, Swedan's new national dish is Swedish turnovers.

Canada's defence has been such a treat to watch.
