Sweet move by Point. Got that off, quick.

 

[Evolu7ion]

Wow! Filthy backhands by Point... Beautiful.

 

[y2kcanucks]

C'mon Barzal. Put em away!

 

[y2kcanucks]

Scores!!!

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Lol, two goals same move.

 

[thepuckmonster]

Canada win!!!!

 

[CanaFan]

Point and Barzal had the backhanders dialed in. Sweet relief!!

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Whew...

 

[Craz1bo1]

Credit where credit is due. The Swiss did a mighty fine job holding off Canada.

 

[Evolu7ion]

Barzal's handling speed is just ridiculous.

 

[Brock Boeser]

This Canadian team is not going to medal.

 

[thepuckmonster]

Shouldn't have had to go to shootout but hopefully the team gets their collective brains together against Sweden

 

[Knight53]

Barzal those hands wow, lol Boston

 

[arttk]

How did Virtanen do? Any points ?

 

[The Drop]

This Canadian team is not going to medal.

Their top skill players - Marner, Strome, Point aren't skilled enough.

No and wasn't good. Until the final minutes of the 3rd.

Tough to say. Denmark beats the Swiss. We destroy Denmark. Swiss play us tough. This team seems to change game to game and I wouldn't rule out them still taking it. On the other hand any other result wouldn't really surprise me either.

Last year's team was far superior.

He was good the entire third period, he picked it up pretty well after the penalty

 

[y2kcanucks]

He was great in the 3rd period.

 

[canucksfan]

So if the US beat the Swiss the highest Canada can finish is third?

 

[y2kcanucks]

Hopefully this game serves as a wakeup call. We need to play better as a team. We need to get more pucks on net, drive to the net, and stop with trying to dipsy doodle around the perimeter. Get back to playing Canadian hockey!

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Joe Hickett player of the game, wonder what the main board think about that ...haha

There's a good chance that Canada finishes 3rd facing Finland/Czech Republic in the Quarters, then a USA/Sweden in the semis. Can they go through probably but I don't like the play of this years d corps.

 

[y2kcanucks]

3rd in our group likely gets us a shot at the Czechs, and then if we can beat them we would move on to play likely the winner of the US or Sweden vs. either Slovakia or Finland.

Not a bad scenario to be honest. If the 1A team has to play the Fins in the quarter finals that's not a matchup I'd like. I also want to avoid the Russians until the Gold medal game if at all possible.
