The team was fine. They just dropped the ball in the third.
Good teams don't blow 3 goal leads in 6 minutes of hockey.

It looked at one point that it wouldn't come back and bite us with a 3-0 lead to start the 3rd. From that point Russian speed and skill took over and made our slow defense look foolish. When they scored the 4th the team did not have enough skill to come back.
Why do we have players like Olson and Cowen when we could have had Murphy? Why do we have player like Eakin and Ashton when we could have RNH? Very puzzling player selection the last few years. Our slow defense and lack of skill was exposed. We could have used an elite talent like Seguin last year too.
Cowen was not one of Canada's top 3 players. He **** the bed tonight big time. Congratulations Ottawa you used a first round pick to draft Cory Cross.
So why make this thread now, AFTER we lost? Stop making Canadian hockey fans look like sore losers please.
You're really ripping on Eakin's selection?
He probably was one of Canada's best players tonight.

Good lord, shut up!
Um...yes they do...a good example of this is the 2011 WJC where Canada blew a 3-0 lead in the third to Russia.
I've thought something looked off with the team the whole tournament. When should I make it?
In the middle of the tourny? "They aren't even eliminated yet. Wait and see what happens before you judge them"
After they win Gold? "Why the hell are you complaining about a gold medal winning team?"
After a loss my argument has more traction. The team could have been better. I have already given props to Russia because they had a better team so this has nothing to do with being a sore loser. I could have made this thread any time.

Great way to start off a sentence. Can you not handle somebody that doesn't have the same opinion as yours? Are you frustrated about the loss?
Or is it that time of the month..
