The Nuge
Some say…
Disagree. The forwards were good. We had terrible defense and goaltending though
Murphy, and the Pejorative Slured coaching for letting him be the one out there to make the mistake

RNH, Huberdeau, Scheifele, Strome, Hamilton, and no medal while 2/5 look like dog poo for much of the tournament. 5, count 'em 5 top 10 draft picks from '11 and no medal, wow just wow.

Now RNH can rush back to play with his former Barons teammates who apparently based on tonight's game against the Griffins don't give a damn about winning or losing.
It's good to see that Yakupov really showed up in the last 2 games, the most important games for Russia. I thought that he was great against Sweden despite not scoring and LOL at the group of idiots (only a few posters) on the main board who were downplaying RNH's accomplishments and saying that he didn't show up against the U.S. so anything else he did meant nothing. Losers. 
It's funny that the gold medal match will in all likelihood will be anti-climatic compared to the bronze medal match with a what should be dead sounding crowd and probably a less entertaining game.

You mean the guys who skated by and taunted the bench? I'm not sure who they were exactly but Yakupov wasn't one of them.
So previously everyone was criticizing the choice of Subban in goal, now we aren't happy with the alternative. So fickle. The goaltending held us back in this tourniment, so did the defense. Teams win medals, not individuals and we simply did not have a cohesive team on the back end.

RNH may not have had any points in the USA game but he most definitely showed up. He and Gibson were the clear stars of the event for me. He was also Team Canada's MVP by a country mile.
Yakupov ends up with 3 goals and 8 points. He could have been better of course, but what he did show is that even when things are not going well if you give him the slightest bit of room he may well make you pay.

A) Didn't like Steve Spott as a coach
B) Nathan MacKinnon and his dominance in the corners were wasted on the 4th line
C) MacKinnon and Drouin almost never played with each other
D) They took Ryan Murphy instead of Frank Corrado
E) Goalies handled suspect, Binnington should have started from the get-go or at least in one game against Slovakia (even though Subban played great in the next 2 games), and then if Spott wanted to roll with Subban, it's silly to start Binnington for the Bronze all of a sudden
F) Canada left Laurent Brossoit at home
G) Lines were mixed up for almost no reason
H) Team didn't focus and were too loose during the quarterfinal break
I) Strome and Ritchie stopped playing with each other when Jenner came back
J) Canada should have thought about replacing Jenner if they were going to lose him for three games. He played well against Russia but then weaker in the next two
K) Powerplay was inconsistent
L) Undisciplined at key times, like RNH's penalty or Scheifele's stupid kneeing
M) Too slow against the Americans
N) Not physical enough, and chose to keep more physical players off the roster (Wilson and Corrado left off for Murphy and McNeill)
O) Hudon got hurt, and that hurt Canada's offense
There is your alphabet of screw-ups

He is an absolute buffoon. Hockey Canada by that same token is ****ing Pejorative Slured for hiring him in the first place. Pretty stupid group of individuals all around. That is embarrassing and unacceptable when Canada doesn't even medal in a lockout year with a supposedly stacked team. Got put in their place.
