GDT: Austria vs Canada 12:00PM est/10:00AM mst

[Taranis]

Oh good CBC is doing multiple windows now so we can see figure skating.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Could Hughson and Simpson sound any more bored? I don't think it's possible.

Get that overly enthusiastic dude (Rick Ball? Rick something) in here pronto.

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

Chan completely screws up in figure skating….

...so?

...so?

Crazy, but some people want Canada to do well in the Olympics.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

That's a lot of camera time for Crosby digging at that ice haha

 

[Anglesmith]

Rick Nash has been pretty unimpressive so far in the Olympics.

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

...so?

CBC showed some of figure skating.. so I thought I'd give an update.

 

[Taranis]

Some people want to watch the hockey game to, crazy enough.

 

[Anglesmith]

Some people want to watch the hockey game to.

Which is why they split the screen, so you can watch the hockey game, too.

I never said you couldn't.

 

[Taranis]

Actually the split screen screwed it up and it was distracting. Therefore I wasn't impressed especially since figure skating is being shown on TSN.

I think there's a dedicated hockey stream online. I was glad they showed both because I wanted to watch both at the same time.

Duchene has been really givin' her. I hope he's rewarded soon.

Chan's a Canadian and had a big chance at gold, which no Canadian has ever won in Mens figure skating (I'm pretty certain). What's the big deal? We're playing against Austria; I think you can survive watching the game on split screen for a little bit.

 

[Anglesmith]

Darn, the US players apparently are also 4 years older. There goes our advantage.

 

[Taranis]

Meh, my opinion.

 

[Taranis]

Good win, with Luongo's resume and this game I find it hard to think we will be going with Price... or at least I hope so.

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

Great game from the boys. Showed dominance the time they stepped onto the ice. Luongo played well and made some key saves.

Please take Kunitz off Crosby's line; he's just not good enough.

Luongo's resume is not that impressive. Neither of them really have much of a resume, frankly. Luongo's made a name for himself collapsing in big games, and Price hasn't ever really wowed in the playoffs, either. Luongo won the finals in the last Olympics, but he was hardly the reason why.

I think it would be pretty unfair to close the door on Price at this stage. Price's one goal allowed yesterday went off the arm of the guy standing on his doorstep and straight down. Pretty difficult to stop. Luongo had a puck go off the crossbar/post. I think that's pretty even as far as performances go in the Olympics. I don't mind who we see against the Fins, though. If the goalie plays well, trust him for the big game. If he doesn't, switch to the other guy.

Kunitz was off Crosby's line in the third. Wouldn't be surprised if he's the odd man out next game. Could have had Giroux.

Who was scratched this game, Sharp? Get him back in there and scratch Kunitz.

Also does anyone know if the IIHF scrapped the 20 skaters rule this year or if it's just for these round robin games?

They still have 20 skaters rule I'm pretty sure. 13 forwards and 7 defensemen.

And yes, Sharp was scratched today. Put Sharp on Crosby's line as the Toews/Carter/Bergeron line (I'm pretty sure) is on fire right now.

 

[Taranis]

The goal against Price yesterday was unlucky, but Luongo played a good game today and he does have more/better experience.

its not like price almost stole a series away from boston before they went on to win the cup.
