World Hockey Championship Discussion (Hamhuis - CAN, Bonino - USA)

this game is giving me flashbacks of Canucks/Flames game 6..

Mike Smith is some special kind of garbage isn't he? Absolutely terrible goalie. No idea why he's on the team.

He's like Ryan Miller only more extreme. Still living off one Vezina quality season.

 

[Bad News Benning]

Nilsson has one of the worst catching hands I've ever seen from a goalie.

 

[Icebreakers]

Wait did Lack decline invite from Sweden?

LOL i like how it was exactly how it played out . 3-0 start. 3-3 tie. Pull ahead again 4-3 going into the third get scored on twice in the third before empty net goals.

Almost exactly

 

[Zombotron]

Wait did Lack decline invite from Sweden?

Yes, almost immediately after Vancouver was knocked out of the playoffs

 

[Craz1bo1]

Hamhuis with the Canuck patented reverse move and proceeds to lose the puck to a forechecker

 

[Flik]

Thank you Smith, thank you for carrying team Canada to this victory!

 

[FroshaugFan2]

Made the crucial saves when he needed to!

His calming presence led to the comeback!

Sarcasm right? Smith was trash today.

 

[Flik]

Hahaha yup exactly.

 

[me2]

repeat the words

calming veteran presence

 

[Serac]

Hammer hit the crossbar
He's been so snakebitten this year

 

[Taelin]

Bonino and his USA teammates win 3-0 against the Czechs to win the bronze medal.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Canada vs. Russia for the Gold Medal. It doesn't get any better than this.

 

[luongo321]

Nick Bonino scored the game winning goal to clinch Bronze for Team USA. Take that, Crosby.

 

[GPNuck]

Yes, almost immediately after Vancouver was knocked out of the playoffs

He declined? I remember an interview with him saying he would love to play for Sweden. But he didn't think there was a roster spot available

 

[skg]

Lots of firepower on the Russian squad, Ov, Malkin, Tarasenko, Kovalchuk. Should be a great game.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Great tip by Eakin!!!

 

[Craz1bo1]

Giroux with a gorgeous pass to Seguin for the tap in. 4-0 Canada

 

[Baby Pettersson]

That was a nice pass!

 

[Canucks LB]

Hamhuis has had an incredibly steady tourney. Just a beast, 25 min a game with burns, I don't think he has had a bad shift.

Very good news for his trade value, Which really makes you wonder why he looked off in the regular season. Had a solid playoffs.

 

[VeteranNetPresence]

Well the "injury" to Hamhuis appears to be an invalid excuse. Looks good in this tourny- crap with the Canucks

And now he gets taken out hard and falls awkwardly in the boards.

He's okay though.
