Just came home and decided to watch the Chicago Suckhawks getting owned by the St.LouisBlues and what happens? The damn suckhawks are leading 2 nothing not going to watch this game, because I don#t want to see them losing for a third straight time against them damnit

Wow Canada is losing one game and the media + fans are already calling for some heads. Talk about unreal pressure for these young kids

Canada and their goaltending, Patterson hasn't impressed me so far Sweden and especially Finland are having much better backstoppers.

Wow didn't expect Canda to have trouble with the Czechs, I mean they pretty much steamrolled over Germany without breaking a sweat

Babcock needs to ask then if they really want to lose for the third time against the Florida freaking Panthers. If not show your best effort and finally beat them damnit

That's the thing with high prized so called premium quality, they are still getting produced in cheap production countries, resulting in good but far from superb quality. It's a nice present but I would ask them to send a made in Canada one. Got some nice gloves as a present luckily some gfs do have a great taste

It's really simple either Weiss turns it around, or his time with the DetroitRedWings is going to be short and ended with a buyout.

Looking at this list makes me sad, there was a time when this list would at least have two guys from a certain team... My favorite fight so far has been McGrattan versus Bordeleau and Bordeleau versus Gazdic warriors all of them

Great game from Mantha but Canada needs to play a better defensive game if they expect to win it all. Also Paterson needs to be better. The real test will be against teams like Finland and of course Sweden

See, they weren't camera shy and both teams had a few mediajunkies on their roster, this certainly isn't the case here. Babcock and Carlyle are media pros, they know what they are doing but what about the young guns, guys like Kessel? They are introverted guys, unfomfortable infront of the media so I can understand and respect that. The episode showed Carlyle giving it to his team, yeah it was behind closed doors but the message was clear and every fan could hear it, what more do people want? Seeing him throwing around stuff, kicking walls? Don't get me wrong I love behind the scenes stuff, but I also respect the privacy situation of the players. Good for the cameraguy not to force his way into the room, like someone mentioned this show needs a healthy relationship between the teams and the camera crew. Another thing I've mentioned before, is the fact that both teams don't need to behave like clowns or are acting like lose cannons, these are established markets. If watching the TorontoMapleLeafs and DetroitRedWings is boring for other fans, guess what? Stop watching, soon these two will be part of the biggest and only! WC breaking a 100.000 spectators - if that's boring for other fans, who cares. Both coaches already stated, that the cameras are a disctraction for the teams and yet we've seen some on ice stuff, some behind the scene stuff so that's fine, I highly doubt one of the two teams will allow full access to everything and I'm fine with that.

Agreed with that, but Babcock is the one choosing the right player from the roster given by Kenny so his hands are somewhat tied here. He made mistakes for sure, but I would bet my house if Kenny fires him there are at least 27 other teams who would fire their current coach and make him an offer immediately, he is that good of a coach as shown by HBO episode 2.

I agree with that, as fan I am fine with not having access to everything. I mean, these teams are giving HBO access to a lot of stuff and its obvious, that both teams are uncomfortable having the cameras around. So focusing on the coaches might be easier, also liked this episode. I'm dropping f bombs too especially during huge traffic hours bring not n every sentence. Those are two Original 6 teams they don't need to go out of their way and follow some prewritten scripts or other stuff. Let's not forget the most important thing these guys are humans too they deserve their privacy

It's not the swearing, I surely believe they swear a lot but there are tons of other words in order to do the swearing. The reason why I've stated that is simple, during some older HBO episodes they've had a F bomb counter. I like the talk on the ice, especially Phaneuf and Crosby talking to each other, rewatched it and thought Brodie with this "want someone to chirp? I f******* give you someone to chirp here" Babcock and Caryle had every right to kick them out of the room, I mean everyone could see that Babs was really ready to unload, that's not something the whole world needs to see.

What is so wrong with having two good goaltenders pushing each other? I'd rather not trade either one of them safe for some overpayment.

Wow thought for sure the kid would be a Russian given his name. Nonetheless no need for such cocky comments. Sweden once again has an impressive roster

They are missing their top two centers and despite Phaneuf the defense just isn't that good but they are still too good for not making the playoffs. They will and they are going to be one of the teams I would not like to face.

Discussing which team his hotteronly makes sense, if both would have some beautiful icegirls Anyway, best part of the episode was Phaneuf asking Cindy if he would like a "shove" like the one Cindy gave to Holland? but seriously HBO needs to tune down their mandated F bomb thing, this isn't funny or anything else it just gets boring. Does anyone seriously believe, a coach would throw so much F bombs in every speech? Loved the Babcock storming into the room "get the F (that was a true F bomb), out of here get out!" btw. I really hope the Zamboni was a gift and not just borrowed.

I really hope Mantha or Bo Horvat are laying big hit after big hit on that cocky russian kid Burakovsky. Unreal, this isn't even a lockout year and Team Canada again looks like an absolute loaded team.

Unreal save bythe monster, I for sure thought ok that's it another loss but then he comes up with something like that, wow. I've questioned Jurco work ethic before but seeing how hard he has worked makes me think, maybe he is finally over that the kid has sick hands thats for sure.

I think Kindl will be the next Mursak. but man, that lineup looks very bad at offense there basically only one dangerous line

Someone should have told them that black friday shoes sale is over, haha catfight time in hockey

If Tallon gets desperated I'd be asking for Gudbranson, this guy has too much talent he shouldn't waste it-

Seems like the defense will be fine, since it's Danny K time

Sure, but given who his father is he will learn and improve that's a chance I'd like to take

Just win it, it's going to a very tough one but I'm sure HBO is going to love it.
