Saros kinda looks like Tuukka a little bit, eh? What's with Finland and it's goalies?

 

[Bruins 54]

I love all the tears from TSN they so wanted Sweden to win.

 

[Fossy21]

I love all the tears from TSN they so wanted Sweden to win.

No they didn't. They went on and on about how Sweden deserved to lose the game against Russia.

 

[BigBadBruin8]

Outstanding Gold Medal game. Finland really deserved that win. Good for them. Sweden played very well just couldn't finish it off.

 

[Bruins 54]

No they didn't. They went on and on about how Sweden deserved to lose the game against Russia.

And they did, be hard to argue that.

The panic in the media here about Team Canada is over the top.....just can`t accept that this country has been matched, and some could argue with validity passed by a few nations in their development/assessment process.

I have no bones to pick with the selection of this years team, went into the tourney pretty secure that this was as far from a true Medal contender as they have iced in years....

.....but have to be honest, one thing this team seems to have been lacking in the last few years are a few of those nasty, hard hitting players that bring pure energy. Didn`t like Camara on TC, too much of a loose cannon. Tootoo was a beast when the championships were here in Halifax, played on the edge but not irresponsible.

Just no real toughness to speak of IMO

Either way, I`m always proud of these kids, ridiculous they have the pressure of the nation put on their teenage shoulders every year, then when they don`t win a medal, or it`s not the medal too many expect, it`s almost like this giant toss them under the bus routine, makes me sick

I enjoyed the tournament, thought the hockey was good, our prospects did reasonably well, can't wait till next year

Doesn't help we haven't had a quality goaltender at one of these tournaments since, what like Steve Mason way back in 2007/2008?

I like it imo. Competition is never a bad thing.

When you say you like "it", what are you referring to?

The panic in the media? The throwing of teenagers under the bus? Something else?

 

[Blitzkrug]

The media panic, mostly.

All this will do is push our country to compete harder in order to keep up, which is why i welcome the competition. All we can ask these kids to do is give it their best effort, and with a stronger field we may see a new level of that.
