1st was unassisted, 2nd was Gagne

 

[Rick Middleton]

I predict 4 unanswered goals from Slovenia!

Care to put money on that?

Thornton's first was unassisted.
Gagne got the only assist on the second.

 

[Everest]

Nash starts the 2nd period with a chance off the golden childs turn over.

 

[Everest]

NAsh then draws iron on a 30 foot offwing/right wing wrister...crossbar/post

Draper to Maltby, embarressing for the slovenia guy who gave Draper the puck in the slot

 

[MissTeeks]

Man, I missed hearing Peter Maher call games!

 

[Everest]

Lets see 61 on the ice...alittle more often. Itseems the coaches are trying to get some other guys going..lots of #3 and #4 lines. Solvenian PP..again coming

 

[s7ark]

Dear Lord has Jovo ever been brutal today. I really hope he can shake off the rust quickly cause he is a huge liability out there right now.

EDIT: Hannan has looked great though

 

[Levitate]

is the canadian defense looking bad or what?

i'd worry about that if it doesn't change...against the better teams that'll be huge if they don't step up

 

[Everest]

Yes Jovo and Regher are soft...Regher just dumped the puck over the glass...as if he were killing off a T-Bay 5 on 3!

 

[ryz]

Jovonoski was the worst Canadian D-man on the Olympic and World Cup squads during the games and so far has been again in these World Championships. How long before another young Canadian D-man replaces him on these international teams. It almost seems like he can't play at the level. Get him out.

 

[Everest]

Hannan finally gets a penalty...his stick is still in the NHL "butcher mode"

 

[MissTeeks]

Does anyone know what the shots are at?

Looking really bad. In fact outside of Hannan and Redden, all our defensemen have been pretty poor.

But yeah Jovo and Regher are very dangerous out there for Canada right now.

EDIT: Maybe they should split up the pairs and go with Hannan/Jovo and then Redden/Regher. Maybe that would help them find their game?

34-12

[MissTeeks]

Thanks.

 

[Everest]

Redden from Thornton on the PP!

 

[Everest]

Check that Gagne had a nifty deflection on that Redden shot

 

[All-Star]

How good/bad has Souray looked so far? Is he getting any icetime?

 

[ryz]

Souray, along with the rest of the Canadian D, doesn't look prime. They are playing fairly well down low, banging bodies and all, but the puck handling and passing doesn't seem to be there for any of them.
