You honestly think it's an excuse?
They're a weaker team. For them to lose 3 players who play 15-20 minutes for them each, it's killer. It's like us losing six top six forwards.
Yes, we lost Stamkos, but that's the equivalent of them being down both Henrik's.
Sweden and Finland deserve standing ovations for finishing in the podium with their injuries down the middle. Let's not get carried away with the 'excuses'
If we were down, all of Canada would blame Kunitz as the reason we lost.
I let out a huge sigh of relief when Crosby scored. Get a couple more.
