[Histrion]

Wow. What a shot by Vanek.

2-0 Austria.

 

[chicpea*]

Wow, nice goal by Vanek! Canada needs to wake up, to put it politely.

 

[dem]

heh... Canada needs to learn to take these teams seriously. This always happens.

[Histrion]

Canada even looks bad on the PP, they just got an icing. They clearly aren't focused. Lousy, lousy game.

 

[s7ark]

He played even though he had lost his helmet which is illegal in international competitions.

 

[Bud The Spud*]

Canada just isn't into this game and obviously went into it underestimating their opponent.

 

[Vic Rattlehead*]

How can Canada be losing


Must be Glen Murray's fault

 

[Fedz]

Looks like Canada is playing a bit better, but honestly, down 2-0 Austria. Props to Austria.

Well, he did miss the far post when he had a GOLDEN chance to score. Damn Bruins..

Ahh thanks for clearing that up.... Come on Canada - you've got to pull this one out...

 

[Histrion]

2-0 Austria after 40 minutes. Team Canada should be ashamed by the way they've played so far.

Gotta give props to Austria, though. Divis has been solid.

 

[DBL]

Anyone know what the lines for Canada are?

 

[Nielson81]

I think the Austrians are going to hang on to win this one, it will be a wake up call for Canada and they will comeback to get a medal in the tourney.

Unbiased Canadian
P.S. I'm glad I have Vanek in my fantasy league!!

Heatley has been the worst player on the ice, someone needs to tell him to pick up his feet he's really floating. On top of that he has turned the puck over a bunch of times, especially while playing the point on the PP...... Babcock hasn't really noticed though, I'd say Heatley has probably led Canada's forwards in ice time.

Edit: But it's safe to say from a team standpoint, Canada played better in the 2nd period.

 

[endacka]

Expecting Canada to start playing dirty in third. As usual when loosing.

Expecting Canada to get their stuff together and come out in the 3rd looking to make a comeback.

[HuskyFlames]

The reason Canada isn't doing well is they have too many under achieving Edmonton players.

IMO, it is because they underestimated Austria and I think they will become stronger throughout the tournament. Go Canada Go!

if i'm not mistaking we won this last year. i think it was the canuck players telling the rest of the team how to underestimate a shity team and lose.

 

[Boomhower]

Everytime Canada gets the puck low in the Austrian end, Austria collapses everyone on the puck and Canada is having trouble solving the high traffic all around the net.
