GDT: 2014 Winter Olympics Part SEIS, POTENTIAL SPOILERS ‎

Congrats to Canada, specifically Saint Patrice.

Thanks Mike, I don't think the US played their best today, but Canada's defense was very good (Claude-like), and Price and Quick were very sharp.

I'm glad we took Colborne over John Carlson

I rarely laugh out loud upon reading something, but this made me do it.

Once again Kessel is shown that having the most points means JACK $$$HIT in this game, he nor his fans will never learn. Canada put on a hockey clinic right there, 60 minutes of solid effort, if not for Quick it would have been sooooo bad.

 

[missingchicklet]

Sweden has a good chance provided they get solid goaltending. USA couldn't pass for ****. Sweden will do better.

 

[the negotiator]

The Canadians played a layered defense ( Claude)

The US played stretch passes and shoot from 40feet ( Dan B)

The ONLY good news I take away is if the Bs meet the Penguins the Bs have a huge advantage behind the bench ( again)

And I'd hate to face Quick in the playoffs

 

[Artemis]

I think we have Claude and Patrice to thank for this one.

Bergeron would be one of the three stars for that one. He was tremendous.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

I bet Yandle and Ryan were both rooting for the US to lose this whole time out of spite. Human nature says most likely.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

That was one of the most boring game I ever sat threw

Good luck in the Gold medal game Canada . Looks like Henrik Lundqvist took his over sized goalie gear with him.

 

[bruinsfan46]

The story of the tournament always should have been Canada's absurdly good defense so far, US's supposedly lethal offense could only get a couple by Russia's weak defense. Bergeron is a ridiculously good hockey player.

 

[robert terwilliger]

usa mvp, no surprise: brooks orpik for only being on the ice for one goal. improvement!

 

[Madturk]

Really disappointing turn of events the past 24 hours. US played their worst game at the most inopportune time. Sounded like they never had a chance today. Congrats Canada.

Bylsma is notorious for being outfoxed by defensive-minded coaches; I thought he was doing a good job in the prior games however. Laviolette is notorious for not making timely in-game adjustments. Not enough jam.

Congrats Canada/Bergy/Clode.

 

[TMac21]

Great game all around - hats off to the US.

Lets go Canada!!

 

[EspOrrsito]

What a magnificent result!

Give team US of A credit, they tried but it was just not meant to be.

It looked a lot like what we did to Pitt in last year's ECF.

 

[ODAAT]

Bergeron would be one of the three stars for that one. He was tremendous.

So unbelievably solid and trustworthy to bring "it" every shift. My already creepy man crush on him grows even creepier

 

[robert terwilliger]

bylsma says he learned his lesson. in 2018 he'll lobby for rob scuderi and paul martin.

The term you're looking for is "TEAM".

Tell that to any Leafs fan and they say, but he's in the top 10...

 

[sarge88]

what a disappointing effort....glad they left Keith Yandle and kept Justin Faulk

Noting in hockey more exciting than watching Ryan McDonagh, Brooks Orpik or Paul Martin start the transition.

Good thing they didn't bring JJ either. It isn't like he's exceptionally talented offensively.

I'm curious if McDonagh had more shots on Quick or the rest of the other netminders combined this Olympics.

It kind of sucks that we'll never have played Sweden but have no chance at a silver medal because of the way the tournament is structured.

 

[TinyRivers]

Bergeron would be one of the three stars for that one. He was tremendous.

Wasn't, but had my vote.

 

[EverettMike]

Everything pens fans say about Bylsma's shortcomings seemed to come to fruition today.

 

[caz16]

Congrats to Team Canada's men team! Well played game! One Bruin will strike gold, one silver and hopefully Tuukka will get a bronze!!

 

[bobbyorr04]

Happy for Bergy and Claude, but man do I hope Sweden just absolutely blasts them.

Not likely, but either way, a Bruin will be coming home with a Gold Medal!

No need to be a smart A** take your win and Don't be so cocky Hopefully Sweden fills Canada's net.
