Let the elimination rounds begin!

Luongo to handle duties between the pipes.

I'm predicting a 5 - 0 route. Goals from Staal, Iginla, Marleau, Heatley, Nash

GO CANADA GO!!!

8-7 for Canada. 7uongo lives up to his name. Fleury starts Wednesday.

Actually I think it is going to be 7-0 for Canada.

I predict a 4-2 victory, including an empty nett. We outplay the team that has never won, but really only by one goal. We look 'pretty good' agaisnt a team that gave up 5 goals to Belarus, but doubts persist about both the goaltending, the team in front of it, and the brain-damaged coach madly pushing buttons and throwing levers behind the bench.

Crosby busts his @$$, but is not a game-breaker. Line juggling and general mismanagement continue. Perry sees more ice time than Toews.

A small part of the Nation's soul dies a little more. But when the final buzzer sounds, our opponents go home, and we still have hockey to play.

Iginla-Crosby-Staal is going to tear it up and destroy. I think Babcock has been told by management to stop screwing around already and will keep the lines together, get Pronger the hell off the ice, etc.

5-0, 6-0, something like that.

It'd be nice to see Joe Thornton have a really good game, if he gets going in a tourny like this, it could spell doom for the opponents.

I would guess Germany will play the trap // they will try to slow the game as much as possible..... will be a low scoring game probably 3-1 for Canada.

2-1 Canada in a shootout. The shots are 87-4 for Canada. Canada ties the game up in the closing seconds of regulation. Germany goes up 2-0 in the shootout, before Canada scores on its last two attempts in the original three. Brodeur scores the shootout winner, on a hunch by Babcock.

I think it'll be similar to the Norway game, the Germans will slow things down early and limit Canada's chances but by the middle of the 2nd the dam will begin to burst. 7-0 Final.

5-0 Canada. They get some confidence and Luongo plays a nice, comfortable game making a couple good saves. I think this team needs solid goaltending and I think Luongo will provide just that. With him in net, and our top lines clicking it doesn't matter who we play we will win!!!

Staal, Crosby with goals, Iggy with 2 assists. Don't care who gets the other goals for us! 5-0 win, book it!

For all the talk about the forwards (okay Thornton has really sucked) I am most bothered by the play of the defense in the previous 2 games.

Way too much running around and poor positional play by this defense. I see a lot of folks ragging on Pronger, but Boyle just stunk in the last 2 games. For whatever reason he was seeing a lot of icetime and he is just not deserving. Nieds is in my bottom 3 as well.

Germany is a very frustrating team to play against. On paper this is a blow out but we have seen countless times that "on paper" means absolutely nothing. The Germans have nothing to lose and zero pressure compared to Canada, who will have the entire country and hockey world critiquing their every move. I don't expect a blow out like many are predicting as there is so much parity between the countries for these Olympics but Canada will win this game. Canada has the skill but they haven't played with the heart as seen by these lower seeded teams. The heart needs to be there to be successful.

Why didn't Crosby hit Iginla for that one timer there? He seemed in much better position than Staal and thats Iginla's bread and butter.

Thornton looks very good so far. Babcock must have told him "just play like it's the 32nd game of the NHL season".

Also, I know Macguire has already drooled over him extensively this game, but Weber is very impressive. Just as solid as Keith and Doughty so far IMO.

1 goal is not acceptable.

It really isn't, when 95% of the game has been played in the German zone

Staal-Crosby-Iginla look pretty discombobulated. I don't think any of them know where the other is out there.

The other lines have been fine, with the exception of Getzlaf, whose hockey sense was on hold in that period.

HPLovecraft

Germany's in the position they want to be to end the 1st.

Iginla looks like he's reacting instead of acting. He's skating slow and looking for stuff to happen around him.

Luongo looks fine... I guess. At least he's not trying to bat pucks directly at German players.

The Sharks line is once again the best line on TC.

The defense has been pretty good, but you can't really base it on anything since they're playing Germany.

Perry/Getzlaf for every cycle or fancy stick work they get almost no shots on goal.

Crosby's line (whoever is on it) is going to have to start generating more in the way of high quality scoring chances if Canada's going to have any chance of beating Russia, assuming it gets that far.

I can see them outplaying the Russians for a whole game, just like they've outplayed every other team so far, and still being outscored at the end of it. In fact, with the scoring woes to this point, I have a hard time imagining any other outcome. I'm starting to think this qualification game is the best thing that could have happened to Canada: more time to gel and work things out throughout the roster.

Thornton has looked good. I just wish he would shoot the damn puck sometimes. He has a great shot but we never get to see it.

Infamous1
02-23-2010, 06:21 PM
We need to be much better on the rush. For 2 games now all we do is try to cycle the puck and our D are good at keeping the puck in the zone but not many shots are hitting the net and the other team just collapses in front of the net and at that point it doesn't matter how skilled our guys are. I guess if we keep it up, the other guys will be drained by the 3rd period.
