Look at Atkinson for a minute they are practically same shape. You have to remember that being weak doesn't make a difference in being a good or bad hockey player, this guy was supposed to be a freshmen in college this year.

Moutrey is definitely having a good year in the OHL, but does anyone else get a little upset when you think that we could've had Hudson Fasching instead?
It does make a difference for sure. Even guys like Datsyuk that never get hit would surprise people with his strength and regardless of what people say he is no Kane in terms of elusiveness. He definitely needs to add strength before the next level. Looks like he has everything else though

definitely looks like contact with Demko was made before the puck crossed the goal line but it's a goal anyways

Collins and Heatherington have looked pretty good in this game, some nice shutdown hockey they're playing. Good game all around for our prospects.

If Heatherington is boring then Collins should be enough to put someone to sleep. At least Heatherington has shown in juniors that he can contribute some offense

I just mean he doesn't obliterate people with hits or make end to end rushes. He's safe and has awesome break out passes plus a really good skater. He is definitely better then Collins and more noticable

Well, I do enjoy having both of them as prospects. Having some BIG bodied, stay at home shut down Dmen will be nice for CBJ. Closest thing to shutdown D we have right now is Tyutin (who isn't that big, aging, more of a TWD I think) and Prout (who has had his moments..)I just mean he doesn't obliterate people with hits or make end to end rushes. He's safe and has awesome break out passes plus a really good skater. He is definitely better then Collins and more noticable
Definitely a nice change of pace from the Erixon, Reilly, etc. types
another assist for Sonny!

Good job by Reinhart there to ice the game. Solid effort by USA but simply outmatched. Demko played really well, had some unfortunate bounces come his way but that's hockey for ya.
Reinhart is crazy smart. Not flashy or anything but he never makes the wrong play... Pretty jealous of Buffalo

Reinhart will be good at the next level. What are your impressions of Domi. He is always around the puck with some pretty good hands.
Domi has been Canada's best player. Never seems to panic, pretty smart and always loves to be in the middle of the play whether its an offensive chance or a scrum. He's just one of those guys that wants to be THE guy

He is in the middle of everything. If he keeps up his play, the Coyotes will be happy.
Canada played well, US trying to force the neutral zone passes with most of them getting picked off going the other way. Canada should win gold, if they play like they did tonight, the rest of the way.
Canda can roll 4 lines with speed and skill (minus Gauthier and Paul in the speed department) and the US has a really young D thats showed it's age. Should be interesting but being Canadian I have really high hopes that this is the year

With Sorensen in net? Doubt it.Denmark could be what Switzerland usually is to Canada, a team that will surprise if you take them lightly. They have no depth at all but the Bjorkstrand-Ehlers-Eller line is one of the better ones in the tournament and dont need a ton of chances to score. That being said it should be a pretty easy win...

I love watching Canada-US WJC and Olympic matchups. It brings out the best in these guys. I think Canada played their best game so far and played with some snarl that was missing from earlier games.
You're right about the US Defense. I think the US plays with too much flash, they are best going north-south and not trying to find the perfect setup. Canada exploited that tonight.

It Will defo be an easy win.. I know George has been standing on his head, but This is the QF, and Canada are not just going to Cruise like against, Say Germany.
Hence me feeling bad for Denmark.
Denmark might score, but Canada Will score alot more
