XXII Olympic Winter Games All Sports, Continued PARALYMPIC GAMES

[NJDevs26]

So many low-scoring games in this tournament isn't going to help the argument for keeping the pros either. Especially since the big ice didn't exactly help the offense.

Canada was awesome Price did the job.

Price played a great tourney

 

[sbresistor]

Canada is still the beast, props for being the favorite and delivering

gave up only one goal in the elimination games

 

[Wingman77]

$8m a year for poor performances when it matters most yet again

What's the excuse again, it was the team in front of him?

Always seems to be a trend of blaming the team in front whenever that goaltender is in net and chokes

 

[devilsblood]

this defense has been perfect every game, one of the best ever

Yup, made Sweden look totally useless in the 3rd. Much like we looked vs Canada.

Props to Canada for making teams look terrible.

And props to Price, while opposing goalie was getting most of the work, Price was still making some big saves and pitching shutouts, thought he might be a weak link, proved untrue.

Lundqvist actually kept them in the game for the first 2 periods. I am all for making fun of any Rags player when possible, but he is the last Swede that should be blamed for this result.

Yea Lundqvist was really good today.

Canada rules again...they played near perfect hockey the entire tournament. Got to give credit where credit is due.

Canada went very Old School Devil's in this tourney.

Canada went very Old School Devil's in this tourney.

That's what I was reminded of every time they hit the ice. I was getting flashbacks. Stacked defense.

I wonder if they look to shrink the ice to the hybrid size they play on in Finland. 92.5 feet across.

Canada allows only three goals in six games in the entire tournament. Start there for your analysis.

 

[devilsblood]

That's what I was reminded of every time they hit the ice. I was getting flashbacks. Stacked defense.

And suffocating through the neutral zone. They called it a 1-1-3. How different is that to the Neutral Zone trap?

And commitment to the system by the fwd's.

Lundqvist played awesome today. Didn't Marty set that trend?

 

[sbresistor]

**** you - you are all a bunch of losers

Congrats to Russia on an awesome Olympics and security effort

They were shutout. How is that Lundqvist's fault?

 

[NJDevs26]

Goaltenders being blamed for the team not scoring seems to be a theme around here.

Couldn't keep them in the game

Team sport

For me this tournament was a snoozer. Even the gold medal game was boring. The 2010 tournament was awesome, but this one has zero story lines. Most boring olympic hockey tournament ever for me.

Yeah have to agree with this that game could have been 5-0. The one goal I think it was from the circle was weak.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Canada could have won gold with Chico playing.
Price was good when he had to be, but he had an easy time.

 

[The 29th Pick]

Canada used the trap the entire Olympics....they're ruining hockey !
