[The Mars Volchenkov]

I'm glad someone else noticed that.

It's hard not to.

 

[Teemu]

<----- !!!!!!!!!!!

Canada loses another puck battle in their own end, leading to that goal.

Canada can't seem to win any battles for the puck, especially in their own end. The trenches were where Canada used to dominate, but the last two games they have been dominated.

 

[Jori]

Figures there would be a commercial break when a goal is scored.

 

[Kaizer]

Finns are looking so well organized, so good coached so far.

 

[nomorekids]

uh...***....they miss the goal...because they're at commercial break?!


i'll take it, though!

1-0!

SUOMI SUOMI SUOMI!

 

[The_Eck]

Pronger looks slow on the big ice surface. Pathetic on Teemu's goal.

Finland will win this game.

 

[Epsilon]

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! Another goal missed for a commercial break, this is getting ridiculous.

 

[Quiet Robert]

Saku owned Pronger...

As a Hab fan I cheer, as I Canadian I cry.

 

[GuloGulo]

Haha Selänne, king of the big ice

 

[MeN_Ace2]

Finns DOMINATING!

 

[Panopticon]

Selänne is a washed up star that only scores against blueberry teams

True.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! Another goal missed for a commercial break, this is getting ridiculous.

What is your solution?

 

[Namso]

oh god regehr sucks so much.

 

[Dr. Nucksfan]

Someone needs to tell the commentator that Olli and Jussi are not brothers. Thats twice he's mentioned it.

It's Bob Cole. He's a bumbling geriatric, and has been for years. The CBC had Cuthbert but keeps Cole for a host of reasons, all of them inexplicable.

 

[Epsilon]

What is your solution?

Cut the commercial break when the game comes back on.

 

[Jobu]

Fins outhitting
Fins outworking
Fins outchecking
Fins outfaceoffing
Fits outshooting
Fins outscoring

 

[Lionel Hutz]

This team needs to come together, quick.

 

[Agasthya]

Yikes we look bad.

 

[Quiet Robert]

oh god regehr sucks so much.

Overall the entire Canadian defence has looked pretty poor today. Pronger and Regher especially. Give credit to the Finns though, they're putting on pressure and not giving our guys any time with puck.

 

[Spiral]

Teemu!

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Cut the commercial break when the game comes back on.

There are no commercials breaks at the Olympics. It's straight 20 minutes with no TV timeouts.

 

[RuuhkaTukka]

Canada is starting to get a hang of it!

 

[Bandwagoner]

Man, Pronger, McCabe, and Redden look awful today... well so does pretty much everyone

 

[joe_shannon_1983*]

oh god regehr sucks so much.

Regehr is a classic case of a guy having a couple of good playoff rounds, and then being over-rated by everyone for the rest of his career. There is usually 1-2 players every playoffs who have this happen to them.

He is very similar to Willie Mitchell of 2003 or Keith Carney of 2003. The only difference is that Regehr had the luxury to play for a Canadian team, and thus had the Canadian media fall in love with him and hype him up.
