BucktownAngler Posted February 12, 2014 Report Posted February 12, 2014 Great game by the womens team beating the US 3-2 i thought we were gonna get whooped, the US has been on fire. For the mens team, Price in net game 1, Luongo in net Game 2. Both should be easy Canada wins
BillM Posted February 12, 2014 Report Posted February 12, 2014 Great womens game today, especially in the 3rd.
Broker Posted February 12, 2014 Report Posted February 12, 2014 On the mens side, do not agree where they have Duchene, top 6 guy.
BucktownAngler Posted February 13, 2014 Author Report Posted February 13, 2014 On the mens side, do not agree where they have Duchene, top 6 guy. he was a healthy scratch today, along with Subban. i really dont get sitting Subban. seems like all puck moving defensemen are thriving on the big ice
davey buoy Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 he was a healthy scratch today, along with Subban. i really dont get sitting Subban. seems like all puck moving defensemen are thriving on the big ice I figured PK would of at least had a shift.Keep his temper down and he is one of the best.I noticed Stlouis had some ice time.Good for him!!!
kickingfrog Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 It's not as if this is one of 30 nhl teams. There is not really a "weak" player that you could point at and say he's not good enough. These are all top-line guys that play 20plus minutes. Six to seven of these forwards are going to play less the 12 or so minutes a game. They need to understand their roles. And Subban can move the puck on the big ice (so can just about every other all-star on this team). He also then has to make-up that big ice when he's out of position. They play 2 teams that offer minimal high level challenge which really makes it hard to truly evaluate where they sit.

moxie Posted February 14, 2014 Report Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) Listened to a bit of the game at work and once they were done the analysis began. They're still analysing the damn thing at 9pm. One game. They won. Too many dough headed hockey pucks getting paid to chase their tails. Too funny. Edited February 14, 2014 by moxie
Mike Pike Posted February 14, 2014 Report Posted February 14, 2014 I agrea Moxie. And I'm tired of everyone in the media yesterday telling me; 'Relax, people, it's just one game!' I AM relaxed. I'm not the one anazlizing a game with Norway for 24 hours after the fact! No, YOU relax!
kickingfrog Posted February 14, 2014 Report Posted February 14, 2014 So Mr. Snider, about Team Canada's ability to select talent...
glen Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 Doughty Just scored. He sure is playing good.
davey buoy Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 What a fast paced game!!!Go Canada!!!!!
Steve Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 we need to stay sharp. like in the juniors, the Finns are strong again. Leo is rockin' it again. Doughty was reminded what Komarov's shoulder felt like.
Steve Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 well now, this is going to be a good third period.
misfish Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 Were dominating the ice,but not the score board.
kickingfrog Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 Finland is doesn't have the horses, or the talent. They are playing not to lose, they are good at it, and used to it.
davey buoy Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Way to go guys!!!!!!!!Gotta admit,Finland played pretty well. Edited February 16, 2014 by davey buoy
muddler Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Great game for Canada. Played like champions. Just Awesome. Edited February 16, 2014 by muddler
Steve Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 well, glad we won the game.....but.....wow - we are going to really have to wake up and step it up .... four notches .... i hope crosby turns his game up a couple notches as well.
misfish Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 i hope crosby turns his game up a couple notches as well. We all get older and slower.LOL Sids not the one man team anymore.
kickingfrog Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 You play low skill teams that collapse to the net and the forwards get clogged up and the D-men are open. It won't be any different against the Swiss (or Latvia) but it will be against the Russians and Sweedes. The US doesn't have the skill either but they hate (and don't) play the try not to lose game. Canada is the best team, but the best teams don't always win one-and-done tournaments.
tb4me Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 USA has a one line team and Russia cant seem to score..Id be more worried about sweeden then US or Rus
muddler Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 We have size, speed and offensive talent. We are jelling at just the right time. No major injuries and a team hungry for gold. Go Canada go!
