Looks like Bourdon got his jersey a size larger. I hate those fitted jersey

Price dad looks like Shanahan

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Dan Bertram has really impressed me with his work ethic in this Tournament.

I may be homer, yes I am, but have no idea what Little brings that Maxwell wasn't able to or even Giroux....(and usually when I speak against somebody, they score....understand Little????)

 

[McOilbleeder]

Helm is playing really really well this game soo far, great player.

His speed and hands are better then you expect.

 

[David McConnor]

Big giveaway by Little.

 

[Ti-girl]

Helm looks really great on that second line with Toews.

Maybe all Little brings was the ability to play on a 3rd line without caring about less ice time than he usual gets.

 

[Ti-girl]

His speed and hands are better then you expect.

Not really.

I know it's only 1st period but wow.. impressive game by Germans. Got to give them credit.

 

[Alberta Yote]

Canada isn't generating much offense.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Canada is playing an ugly game, they need to stop making mistakes and start skating.

Saying the other 2 do care?

Definetly, these guys are playing really well, ofeensively their like meh, but defensively, these guys are awesome, absolutly gun on defence, great team defence so far.

I think Canada will win but look at these guys in just one year. Two wins and giving some healthy competition to Canadians.

It'd be nice if Canada could string together two passes in a row, or if Gagner could not give up the puck on the boards every shift of every game.

One good note is that Cogliano is finally skating.

 

[jcpenny]

Im not really impressed with the overall skill of this canadian team. They lack creativity in the offensive zone and there is not a lot of individual talent. Team play does make up for it though.

 

[espo*]

The germans should be happy with that period.Eventhough they did'nt get that what is for them all important first goal they did a great job defensively,especially behind and in front of the net.

As for Canada,cut down on mistakes,settle down and start making smart plays and they'll break them down.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Does anyone else think that Toews could become the much prettier version of Rod Brind'Amour

 

[Kipper]

I'm impressed with Germany's D, having said that still no fret of losing this one.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

I believe I heard only one ''special'' from Pierre in that first period. Still no monsters, whammo's, wham job's, etc He truly is not himself without Dion around.

 

[David McConnor]

Canada will blow this game open. As soon as they squeak another goal to open a two goal lead, Germany will realize it's over and not really emphasize their defensive system.
