Swiss fans ringing cow bells.

Swedes next and can play for real

 

[Heldig]

Scheiflie with 0 points? But has he been effective?

 

[4thliner*]

Stone seems to score every game.

Stone = BOSS

But seriously, he just looks big and powerful with some ridiculous hands

Been on a sick tear ever since being drafted last 2 years

thought he played better early in the game

devante doing what devante does.. love it!

I think so...

I hate to post the same thing over and over again, but he is having trouble finishing. If we can get the handful of guys gripping their sticks too tight we could have a very potent offense.

Swedes next

And a better assessment of how well we are playing.

like a previous poster mentioned wedgewood wasn't all that busy, but does anyone else find he exudes a sense of confidence in the net that visentin doesn't? it seems as though wedgewood knows as if he's going to stop the puck while visentin seems a tad bit anxious and nervous at times

Do you know the final number of shots for the game?

Well said.

25 ish... But that is just a guess.

How was Sven Baertschi tonight?

I agree. I think Visentin is a confident goaltender, but Wedgewood seems to have a swagger about him. Can't really put my finger on it, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was the starter when the games really matter, in the medal rounds.

Either way, I'm more confident in Canada's goaltending now that I've seen both play. It'd be nice to see Wedgewood play against stiffer competition however.

Hard to say... Canada was all over the Swiss. 7 - 1 does not accurately represent how lopsided the game was IMO.

He played well but could use someone to play with.

I agree 100%.

I thought Tim Wolf played well.

 

[OttawaRoughRiderFan*]

I thought Tim Wolf played well.

Yes. Stayed composed. If he had not played well it could have easily been 11 - 1 as one poster predicted.

 

[OttawaRoughRiderFan*]

I asked but no one commented...

Did anyone else find the Nike Commercial (in the closing tunnel) really effective?

DVP is like a man among boys out there. Far more effective than Connoly. Now... just don't take a bad penalty, at the worst possible time, by being overly aggressive.
