You can thank Alfie for that one terrible sequence in his own end

Wings getting no help from the refs

Wow what a freaking goal!!

Perfect strategy just clear the zone and sit back and wait for the red wings to screw up

Wings playing alright but you know wings are going to make some boneheaded plays

Go wings!! On a side note, anybody seen wolf on Wall Street

What's up with Franzen? Haven't heard about him having concussion like symptoms.

I can see us trading at the deadline for Girardi and that's about it. He can be our replacement for Quincey and we get better on the back end We just don't have the assets or can't afford to part with the ones we have to do a big trade this year

Agreed. I thought he was Canada's best forward through the whole tournament. I think this roster was more carefully chosen than the last roster. Babcock has a strategy how he wants to utilize these guys instead of just choosing the best players this year Besides them winning gold I think team canada under performed last time around. I think they played one great game against Russia other than that they had a lot more to give. If they get on a roll early then no team stands a chance. No offence

Doesn't Cleary need knee injections but doesn't use them during the regular season but does during the playoffs. I read an article last year about something like that

I know you can't predict a winner because you never know what will happen but how does Canada not have the best roster on paper?

Defense is miles ahead of any other team. Also bigger and stronger than any other team. This is a well rounded team. Size, speed and skill. There's no softies that will be bumped off the puck.

But he is still given PP time over Smith. Smith must be a real screw up in practice or something

Mantha was interviewed about it and said something like he came in and just waited for the goalie to make the first move then deked. Made it look easy on a very good Swiss goalie. That's some instincts you can't teach. He reminds me of Rick Nash a little bit. What I love about him is he doesn't force anything or hold on to the puck too long

I'd like to see Almquist get called up again. Hard to understand Kenny's reasoning for these D call ups. Maybe looking at what we got and who we want to move forward with. I don't expect a deal until the deadline though, if at all. We'll have a lot more flexibility after these old farts come off the books. We seem to be stacked with solid D prospects but I don't see them getting rid of Smith or Kindl after investing this much time and frustration in them

he pooped himself in the shootout. the winning goal was a flubbed shot and it still went in so pretty much anything directed at the goal was going to go in. i just have no sympathy for howard after that nashville game. gus has been the better goalie all year no reason why howard deserves to be in the net.

everyone can't stop bitching about a 4th line winger in Cleary who gets paid very little and hasn't been that bad but we have a goalie that gets paid a lot and can't stop a puck. howard has cost us so many points single handedly but people get mad when we complain about him. babs never gave a f*** about osgood and hasek but this kid jimmy who has never made it out of the second round gets his hand held as he keeps losing game after game

c'mon that was a piss poor performance in the shootout for jimmy the winning goal was flubbed and still went through a huge hole he left open. he was determined to lose that shootout. once again we lose a game we would have won if gus was in net. but morale victories right

Lidstrom and Rafalski look amazing still

What penalties did you have a problem with? I believe it was an obvious trip and 2 high sticks. They had to be called. Canada carried the play for over half the game. Power plays usually follow when that happens. US had the advantage in power plays earlier in the game while they were carrying the play

Mantha did all the work on Canada's goal Go Canada!

Canada did dominate that period and out shot them 11-5. Ferraro had said the US was dominating the 1st

I'd rather just blame Howard. It's a game where if we had put Gus in net we would have won. There's comfort in that

Nothing worse than people that complain about people complaining

Edgy. Isn't he leading the whole tournament in points
