2-0 Canada

 

[TheHoser]

Marchand scores! 2-0 Canadians!

Price has been spectacular this game, great to see him preforming on the international stage!

 

[Pete Rock]

Wow. That's surprising.

Were there any Swedish defencemen on the ice for that goal?

 

[macondo]

Excellent!

Nice positioning by Marchand.

 

[Moon Man*]

I love streaming video... 2-0

 

[Foy]

jesus, this is one boring game

I don't care. It's hockey that isn't NHL hockey that I can actually watch, not listen to in poor quality online. I'm not used to such things.

 

[Gozer]

That was totally swedens period. To bad about the second goal there.

 

[Telecaster]

Argh this is sad... Well we have turned it around before.

 

[CanadianPantherFan]

The Swedes' p.k. has looked impressive(especially early one).Intiating the play,active sticks ,and ROCKET boards does not hurt either

Price has looked solid.

Play McArdle

Black jeresy's just ain't Canada

 

[Renholder]

Canada is super lucky to be up by 2 goals. They were outplayed in the second period. Seriously, i'm not impressed with this squad ride now. Too many broken plays, to many mistakes in the neutral zone, there's now flow. Sweden's playing a good game but are not capitalizing because of Price. He's been solid so far.

 

[Vikke]

Ribbenstrand is way to weak there. Just remove Marchand. That's your job in the D-zone, don't let anyone stand in front of the net like that!

 

[McOilbleeder]

Sorry to be a bother, can anyone tell me how Cogliano is playing so far??

 

[emb24*]

swedes dominated most of the second...just couldn't finish..canada looks a little confused by the big ice...i find this game entertianing, just that both teams lack finish..i find the differecne in this game is the D..Canada's is better than sweden - it's nhl calibre and quicker...but props to sweden playing physical and aggressive..

and yeah i like the throwback black unis too..but we probably won't see them again in this tourney as they'll go back to red

Ribbenstrand is way to weak there. Just remove Marchand. That's your job in the D-zone, don't let anyone stand in front of the net like that!

Yeah i dont wanna say that but he was responsible on that goal. :/

 

[An Ape called Yoko]

in regards of physical presence i actually think Sweden is doing better.

Otherwise its a good game by Sweden.. standing up very well. Too bad about the last goal.

 

[zx81]

Is that really hockey ?
2 crappy periods.
The automatic icing is the worst rule ever invented.
Bigger ice surface=defensive boring hockey.

Not impressed by the offensive talent of the Canadian team anyway.

 

[Towelie*]

There is no way that Cogliano is "Pavel Bure fast" Mr. McKenzie.

 

[macondo]

Sorry to be a bother, can anyone tell me how Cogliano is playing so far??

Playing well---finding people in the open ice, quick legs through the netural zone, usual stuff. Got an assist on the second goal.

 

[Riddarn]

Very good period by the swedes, although the excessive offensive escapades of Hörnqvist-Omark-Isaksson is making me nervous. Bench them. Lets hope the rest of the team can remain calm and concentrated and this up and maybe score a goal on the world champs in the last period. That will be a great confidence booster.

 

[LeafDangler]

I have now officially decided that anyone who prefers international rules and ice surfaces over North American is absolutely nuts. This game is frustrating the hell out of me. Glad to see Canada up though.

 

[Kotton]

Sorry to be a bother, can anyone tell me how Cogliano is playing so far??

He's playing pretty well. Has setup teammates a few times where they just had the puck bounce over their stick. Set Russel up for half of a wide open net which he missed and also got an assist on the second goal.

Mckenzie just got done saying during the intermission how he's been the most dangerous Canadian forward and how something happens everytime hes on the ice.

I agree, then again i'm an Oilfan.

 

[Tricolore#20]

Sorry to be a bother, can anyone tell me how Cogliano is playing so far??

He had a nice rush to set up Bourdon's goal. Otherwise, hasn't been all that noticeable (as with the rest of Canada's team).
