I am falling asleep here

 

[Red_Man]

Canada can't score for shit up front, good thing we have the reigning Art Ross trophy winner sitting this game out.

 

[GuessWho]

It's so hard playing vs a team like Finland, that fucking collapse system. It's so annoying to play against but super effective when done right.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Honestly this seems like a good game for Canada to lose. Maybe it'll get their shit together.

 

[thejpfin]

Happy birthday Ruutu!

It would be amazing birthday present if Fins win Canada.

 

[Yawnier]

imagine Canada losing this game after they lost that world juniors game against finland last month too

feels bad man

 

[bryehn]

Is there an Yzerman & Co. chewing the shit out of their gum .GIF yet? Perfect for many situations on GAF

Except that you want Canada to win... otherwise, path becomes much harder for the USA to get to the gold medal game.

 

[Ether_Snake]

I just saw a Fin Quentin Tarantino. But he kissed a woman.

2nd place teams get the 'extra' game, right? It might be what this team needs.

I'm really only frustrated with Crosby. For a guy who's an automatic pick, and the best player in the NHL, he's been quite average.

edit: I just realised that Kevin Lowe is still involved with the national team. If Canada disappoints in Sochi, hopefully his ass gets bounced.

edit part 2: CBC needs to implement a 'Mute Healy' option.

 

[R&R]

Finland to win on penalty shots =)

 

[Red_Man]

As much as the coaching has been suspect, Babcock has tried pretty much everything to get the forwards going. It's on the players now to show why they were chosen to the team, but it MSL isn't playing next game there should be a riot in the capital.

If Kunitz starts the next game, Babcock has lost his mind.

 

[Ricker]

Wth Canada...was listening to the second period in the car...it's on a A.M. station up here and I dont know where the guys are sitting but the crowd sometimes just buries them,hard to hear....anyway,juggling lines like they did is kinda the culprit here...why take Taveres for example from his line to put him on with Crosby...

Go Canada,still confident they will win this.

If you mean the qualification playoffs, Canada would have to be 5d, and for that to happen they would have to lose in regulation by 6 goals, I think.

 

[Ricker]

Jacques Lemaire New Jersey type hockey sure is boring sometimes lol...

 

[rinse82]

If only we had an offensive minded defenceman. Oh wait, he's a healthy scratch.

 

[T.M. MacReady]

If only we had an offensive minded defenceman. Oh wait, he's a healthy scratch.

 

[Red_Man]

This is like watching the Devils play, brutal.

If only we had an offensive minded defenceman. Oh wait, he's a healthy scratch.

If only we had the league leading scorer from last year. Oh wait, he's scratched too.

 

[Chris R]

Like seeing NHL caliber hockey on the big sheet of ice. My local echl team plays on the same sized ice, but not nearly as fast as these guys.

 

[NH Apache]

Is there a scenario where Claude takes the team over?

 

[Kak.efes]

This is such a boring game. Finland is evil.

 

[fallout]

Giveaway at the blue line! Duchene runs into 3 Finnish players. :|

 

[Red_Man]

Julien? Like replace Babcock? Not happening. This team lives and dies with Babcock and his decisions.

 

[Acid08]

Sounds like the Fins are playing the way they need to to win. Still, I fucking hate that style of defense. Seems like half the NHL is doing it now too.

 

[pestul]

Canada looking tired..

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

KUNITZ, YOU FUCKING BUM! >: (

 

[MutFox]

Sounds like the Fins are playing the way they need to to win. Still, I fucking hate that style of defense. Seems like half the NHL is doing it now too.

Remember when shoving matches were ok infront of the net? that would fix this....

 

[railGUN]

Rask is on point today, Jesus.

 

[Red_Man]

Reminder: In the NHL Olympic era, no team has gone undefeated in the round robin and won gold. Half didn't even win medals.

.

 

[_DrMario_]

Lol we are going to lose this in the shootout, I can feel it.

 

[railGUN]

It's like the AI is rubber banding right now.

If it goes to a shootout we're screwed, Price is terrible in shootouts.

 

[MrToughPants]

Canada has no finnish.

Tre Konor Karlsson are gonna win Gold.

 

[amrod]

Anyone else notice the stream quality is jumpy / glitchy?

Tried Watching on USA network directv and CBC

 

[lamaroo]

I hate this, I hate international hockey.

 

[Winterblink]

CBC commentators are really trying to sell this game.

 

[WriterGK]

Are the group stage matches over , at this point? Can someone give me the time schedule for the knock out fase? My dad wants to watch it...
Does is start on Monday or Thuesday?

 

[IcyBlueStrawberry]

Credit to Finland because the system is obviously working, but this is boring as hell to watch.

 

[Curufinwe]

Cheap cross check from Benn.

 

[lamaroo]

I wonder if anyone who says going to bigger ice in the NHL will increase scoring actually watches hockey.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Finland getting their sticks in every lane.

 

[zroid]

rask is killing us

 

[Buba Big Guns]

fucking rask

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Nice set up there. Vlasic had the best chance after that turtle defense.

 

[Ricker]

Damn I thought that was it...crap.

 

[Ardenyal]

amazing game from Rask.

 

[fallout]

Even when Canada gets their chance, Rask is there.

 

[Red_Man]

Crazy play from Getzlaf. Could really go for some Subban right about now.

Finland getting their sticks in every lane.

It's insane how well they're getting their sticks into everything.
