Easy Hockey fans, we won. Why do you feel the need to torch Luongo?
Getslaf line has been awful for most of the tournament. One game doesn't make up for 4 games
I wouldn't be so quick to say that.
Getzlaf and Perry have been mediocre thus far into the olympics. One game doesn't null every bad performance they've had.

Well to be fair, they were outstanding against Russia in the semi's and finals in Vancouver. And they were today as well, with the goal that gets Canada to the gold medal game, and guaranteed Silver.
They are big game players, wouldn't be surprised more of the same against Sweden.
3 big guys that are almost impossible to handle with their cycle game.
There is no need to bash anyone.
But to be fair, Price has been bashed all tourney.
The Toews line was their best line in 2010
In 2010 it was Getzlaf Perry Morrow, the most dominant line.
In 2014 it's Getzlaf Perry Benn, the most dominant line (possession and cycling wise).
It was a great move by the coaching staff to put Benn there. I knew that line was going to dominate once it was made. You could see Babcock tried to put Getzlaf line out there every chance he could get in the 3rd.
But the MVP is Team defense. Our defence is what has brought us to the gold.
Benn has carried every line he was placed on in this tournament.
If Canada would've met another Canada (in terms of skill and depth) I doubt Price
would've had a shutout. Thus, not irrelevant.
The american offense just transformed into nothing but perimeter shots and worthless grinding.
Toews has been stellar as he always is. He's the same type of player as Getzlaf. Fully reliable on offense and defense. Carter has been pretty good but take away that one game where he had a hat trick and he's pretty much invisible. Marleau? LOL. He wasn't even good in 2010.
I also agree with this guy. He's a hell of a player. Not nearly as effective with Duchene.Benn has carried every line he was placed on in this tournament.
Good thing Price was able to stop that perimeter shot eh?
There is a reason Pietrangelo and Bouwmeester were on the ice with under a minute left while up 1-0.

Those posters are long gone. Its safe to let it go now.
Can we all please stop whining about who is and who isn't playing. Put your NHL team allegiance aside and get behind Team Canada. I don't care that Luongo and Hamhuis are out. Our D are all awesome, even those sitting on the bench. Carey has been stellar and so has Luongo. One guy has to sit. People complaining about Kunitz might want to acknowledge that although he isn't finishing, the guy is getting chance after chance and he's doing quite a bit of it based on his own ability.
Lets get that gold!!! GO CANADA GO!!!
Well I had to go out for a bit after the game so I didn't get my chance until now. Let me have this one
Look at me agreeing with a canucks fan....well said
All Perry does is win.
