Good game, congrats. Only fitting it comes on the eve of 30 years since the miracle on ice.
I was willing to give Canada a pass after that Swiss game but its obvious this isn't a very good team. They can be very good or look totally lost, especially in their own end. I guess thats what you get for putting 4 San Jose Sharks on your team. I'd put Luongo in and hope for the best from here but they just don't have it.
I'll be cheering on the US. Would be a great story to see Burkie get the gold after his son's death.

Hershey Bears 20th consecutive home win!!!!

Interesting. Interesting.
Not sure how you can say that after the shooting gallery in the last 12 minutes of the 3rd. If it weren't for Miller playing out of his mind, the US would not have survived the onslaught. I agree that Canada looks a little lost in their own end. Too many cooks in the kitchen.

chips and smokes, lets go
Pretty disappointing game. Canada definitely did not play to it's potential. Hopefully this is just a bump in the road and they can re-group. I'd roll Louongo for the next game.

Wow...entertaining game between the Canadians and US. Miller was the difference...period.
Canada should be able to take out Germany for the qualifier...but, then it's Russia on Wednesday. That's gonna be a good one.

I feel the need...
Great pace of play last night. Think I jizzed in my pants twice within the first 10 minutes of the first period. In a seven game series, Canada would probably come out on top. If they meet up again in the final, for a rubbermatch...

Lundqvist shut out Finland last night.
We are going to have to work hard to beat him.

Don't listen to him domn, he's just trying to make Canada more than they are so if Russia beats them he can gloat. He will continue to use Orpik and others as a reason not to root for US or Canada.
We all know he's solely rooting for the Russians but he's afraid to admit it..

Another good piece of news to come out of last night game is that Ron Wilson can actually still coach.
Now all Burke has to do in trade for team USA. He already has Kessel.

If he puts Orpik and J. Johnson on the same line again... I'm going to kick him in the head. They are both a defensive liability by going out of their way to make huge hits. Need a stay at home Dman paired with one of them..

@ Keith's ice-time...wow. And seriously, if Canada wants to have a chance at that gold, can Babcock start benching Marleau, Perry, and Thornton...? (Heatley can stay cuz at least he scores goals)
Toews (shut up you guys about my mancrush on him) was probably one of the most effective forwards for Canada and he didn't see any ice time in the critical final few seconds...Bad call.
I would've rolled him out with Crosby, Keith, Doughty, Iginla (or Morrow) for that final PP instead of the standing-around-admire the puck group with the Shark players...

The sizzle in the Steak
^^ Doughty is just a inexperienced young kid...why would you put him out on the ice in a clutch situation
