I just watched Ron McLean try to reference the above sign, but he got it backwards and said the winner would keep Bieber. I don't think he understands the young people of today.

You mean a Lay-Zed-Boy chair?

 

[Zirakzigil]

Dominated the first. Crosby line and Price are looking good so far.

 

[Calculon]

Bouwmeester with the great play to Benn who gets the first goal.

Can't believe Kunitz is still playing; flubs chance after chance and yet people still find excuses for him. The guy has no business being anywhere near an Olympic team.

 

[Anglesmith]

Awesome play by both Bouwmeester and Benn.

 

[tyflames]

It amazes me we couldn't get more for Bouwmeester watching this game. He plays an amazing consistent defenceman. Barely makes a mistake and makes smart plays.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Kunitz has had a great game. The Crosby line and Getzlaf line have been the best for Canada today.

 

[Hand of Gaudreau]

Seriously though, is it possible to trade our roster for Perry and Getzlaf?

 

[tmurfin]

Benn is sooooo good.. JBo playing up to the standards we know he can play

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

You have to admit, even if you don't like Kunitz that much that he is actually playing pretty good.

 

[Calculon]

Solid win. Price was terrific, as was Quick. Canada's defense is out of this world. Glad to see Bylsma crash and burn.

Kunitz still sucks though. Put St.Louis or Duchene with Crosby and Canada probably wins by three or four.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Woooooo!

 

[Anglesmith]

I feel like given we're able to play that kind of game so well where we just wear down the other team in their own end, we should be able to beat Sweden, who seem to be set up very similarly to the US with their strength up front and in goal and their weakness on D.

I feel vindicated in my support for Price. Hasn't put a toe out of line so far.

Still a decent game haha.

Swedens weakness is not D lol

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

Swedens weakness is not D lol

Compared to Canada it is the defense.

I truthfully don't understand all the Kunitz hate lately.. Sure I, like everyone else was surprised and a little choked that Kunitz made the team in the beginning, but he played amazing today. Generated most of Canadas chances, just couldn't finish.

The hate astounds me, especially when guys like Nash and to a lesser extent Keith (who IMO played awful, slow as molasses) get by without anyone batting an eye.

 

[Anglesmith]

Jamie Benn is a terrible, terrible interviewer. Terrible.

 

[Calculon]

Still a decent game haha.

Expectations for Kunitz are so low that so long as he doesn't score on his own net, he's had a 'decent' game.

Must be hard for St.Louis though; having to sit on the bench with his art ross trophy and watch Kunitz flub one glorious scoring chance after another.

Swden is easily the 2nd best d core. forwards arent their strength

Upon further review, I agree with you. Every one of their D is at least a #3 in the NHL, with the exception of maybe Oduya and Tallinder.
