Eat them alive Canada!

[loob job]

Can't wait, 4-1 for the good guys.

[Jesse834]

Canadian boys roll and play Team Kipper and Finland on Sunday. 5-2 Canada.

[dissentowner]

3-2 Canada in a tight one.

[red sky]

So pumped for this game! I was more fearful of playing Sweden but can't ignore the facts that Slovakia beat both Russia and Sweden. Halak has stolen games for Montreal before and he will need to play at his best to give the Slovaks an opportunity to win this game. Chara will play a lot of minutes but with Canada's depth they will be able to exploit some of the weaker d-man.

I predict a 6-2 score.

GO CANADA GO!!!!!111one!

[Caged Great]

Halak shuts the door, Slovakia wins 3-1

Joking.....

Canada should win this.

[Stormchaser]

ANNIHILATION!

Canada 9 - 0

[Vinny01]

So this game is at 7:30 for sure?

[KidCanada]

So this game is at 7:30 for sure?

Ya, 730 MDT

[Huntingwhale]

Hopefully Canada does not take them lightly. Slovaks are playing as a team right now and have great chemistry. I hope we don't take the foot off the gas at any point.

[the_professsor]

Beware of Halak! Canada wins 4-1, triples the slovaks in shots

[megatron]

Can't see Canada losing this one, especially now that they watched the Canadian women win gold last night.

5-2 Canada

Go Canada Go!
Go Finland Go!

Thank you for making me hungry....













Hungry for victory!!! :w00t:

LET'S GO CANADA!

[GirlySports]

will be close.. maybe 4-2 Canada.

Not only Halak but Slovakia have good defense.
Chara, Visnosky, Meszaros, Sekera, even Urchina.
Much better than the deer in headlights Russian defense.

[burning_acid1]

Semi-finals:

Win for Canada + Win for Finland = Hat trick for Iggy in the gold medal game against Kipper :)

[RyZ]

will be close.. maybe 4-2 Canada.

Not only Halak but Slovakia have good defense.
Chara, Visnosky, Meszaros, Sekera, even Urchina.
Much better than the deer in headlights Russian defense.
Outside of Chara, that is not better than the Russian D at all, and he can't be on the ice for 60 mins. Half of the D is borderline NHLers.

The clock strikes 12 at 7:30 MST tonight and the giant killers finally taste the bottom of the behemoths boot.

If Canada can get a goal early I expect 6-8 goals again and a 3+ goal win.

[OILFAN #81]

5-2 Canada. I think we match up really well vs Slovakia and the only way it stays a 1 goal game is if Halak plays the game of his life.

Crosby will be seeing a lot of Chara.

Canada: Heatley, Crosby, Iginla, Nash, Weber

Slovakia: Hossa, Gaborik

[Bertuzzied]

Peter Maher mentioned that Slovakia is the biggest team here in the Olympics. They win already!

[JayP]

will be close.. maybe 4-2 Canada.

Not only Halak but Slovakia have good defense.
Chara, Visnosky, Meszaros, Sekera, even Urchina.
Much better than the deer in headlights Russian defense.

I don't see what's so impressive about Halak? On paper, he's probably about the 10th best goalie in the tourny and on the ice he hasn't exactly looked spectacular (although he's been solid).

Russia's defense is just as good as Slovakia's - the difference is that Slovakia's forwards are committed to playing some brand of defense whereas the Russians clearly were not.

I think we all could live with losing to Sweden in this game. But not Slovakia.

5-2 Canada.

Visnosky and Mezeros are established NHLers. They've already held both the Russian and Swedish offense. Better than useless KHLers the Russians were carrying.

[chalms04]

8-6 Canada

[arloiginla]

Canada wins it 4-2. Won't be a blowout like Russia was.

[Shazam]

8-6 CanadaIs Luongo in net? Then it's going to be 8-7. :w00t:

[chalms04]

Is Luongo in net? Then it's going to be 8-7. :w00t:
Yup, but he'll just let in 6 to tease us.

[Rerun]

Canada 6 Slovakia 3

[Winsor_Pilates]

I think a blow out, 7-2 Canada.

[Stanley]

I think it'll be a lot closer than most people think...

[TheSutterDynasty]

This post is new and exciting.

5-1 Canada.

Not only Halak but Slovakia have good defense.
Chara, Visnosky, Meszaros, Sekera, even Urchina.
Much better than the deer in headlights Russian defense.

That defense looks pretty weak to me. Visnosky? LOL Chara is the only defense man that is good IMO.

[GenericCheesecake]

Quick question - how did Sweden play against Slovakia?

Was Slovakia outworking and outhitting them a la the US against Canada, or did Sweden come out really weak and Slovakia just got lucky?

I ask this because I'm still a bit shocked that Slovakia beat Sweden. The Swedish roster was, from my perspective, a really good team and for Slovakia to beat them it either means (a) Sweden played badly and Slovakia took advantage of that, or (b) Slovakia outplayed them and shut them down.

If it's (a), then Canada should be alright. But if it's (b), I'd be quite worried. Canada faced very little fight and resistance from Russia, but were beaten earlier by a very hard nosed American team and were nearly beaten by a weaker but very determined Swiss team. A hard working and overachieving team is, in my opinion, what Canada is weakest against.

[TowelPower]

As long as Canada scores more then Luongo let's in, we will be fine.

I think you need a hug . Your hatred for luongo is very humerous.

[OILFAN #81]

That defense looks pretty weak to me. Visnosky? LOL Chara is the only defense man that is good IMO.

I'll be the first to admit that we have a lot of bad players (Horcoff, Staios, Moreau, etc etc) but Visnovsky is a solid defenseman. He's easily a 1st pairing defenseman and does it all.

[MelBridgeman]

A hard working and overachieving team is, in my opinion, what Canada is weakest against.

I saw a little from both column (a) and column (b). I would say that the Slovaks gave it everything they had and played a great team game, while the Swedes kind of played in a nonchalant manner almost expecting to win without too much effort. Either way, Canada should win this game. I am going to say Canada wins 4-2.

[Tangs4President40]

Kipper > Luongo

[jeremywilhelm]

Milan Jurcina himself guarantees no victory. That guy is the Anders Eriksson of Slovakian hockey. Terrible terrible defenseman.

Much more a than b. But they weren't as badly outplayed like say the Swiss or US against Canada

Once Slovakia got the lead they chipped the puck out and held on for dear life.

They made a lot of mistakes and the Swedes failed to capitalize on them.

The commentator (can't remember if it was Pierre or Ferraro) said that they were really laid back on the bench with like 2 minutes left as though they expected they would just win. To me that is how they played all game as though all they had to do was show up and the game was theirs.

Pretty accurate. Slovakia would be better if they had confidence in their own game. They play for a bit and take a lead and then sit back until the other team ties it. Then they play offense again. They are my 2nd favorite team in this tournament so I hope they win the Bronze Medal tomorrow.

GO CANADA!

Yet you dedicate so much time.. Making siRgs and bashing team canadas number one goalie. You are very serious.

Hug

[Regulator75]

I was hoping the game was on at 5:30... Two more hours to wait...

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

[direwolf]

This one will be much closer than the Russia game. But I think Canada has way too much firepower for the Slovaks to handle. 5-3 Canada.

[403ep3]

I won't make a guess but GO CANADA GO!

[minnow]

Go Canada Go, but don't have the after party at the barn.

[Kaine]

While Slovak has been my team throughout this tournament it's time for them to lose. While I still disagree with some of the moves made by the coaching staff of team Canada, the management seems to have righted the ship. The team is playing very well right now and most importantly playing as a team rather than treating it as an allstar game.

Go Canada (more importantly go Iggy) ;)

[-TC-]

Canada will win and then we can smash those dirty yankees and their lucky goalie

[IceMan]

Here we go. LETS GO CANADA!!!

[Art Vandelay]

No Penalty?

Please don't Luuuu when Luongo plays the puck behind the net.

...or if a shot goes wide.

[Smell My Finger]

yep, 4 times i tried to log on

[Bob]

Probably a lot of load right now. I've been getting timeout of page loads and broken images.

[Machiavelli]

Yikes, suicide pass for Iginla.

Don't like to see Chara on him.

[Smell My Finger]

our D is playing scared wtf

[Bob]

Jittery Canadians.

[Art Vandelay]

Gettin chances. I like that.

[Kaine]

Canada not having the start they wanted, running around like crazy. Settle down boys!

[Phaneuf3]

As long as Canada scores more then Luongo let's in, we will be fine.
That's John Madden-esque insight right there.

[Machiavelli]

Nice shot by Iginla....the guy's release is so nasty.

[IceMan]

Weird to see a lot of empty seats.

[Art Vandelay]

Iggy with a good chance there.

[Smell My Finger]

Iggy so close next time.

[Kaine]

Nice shot by Iginla....the guy's release is so nasty.

No room and no time and the guy still launches a rocket, unreal.

[Machiavelli]

No room and no time and the guy still launches a rocket, unreal.

He's done that a lot this tournie....feel the puck and shoot it right away; why he hasn't done so as much this season is beyond me.

[Art Vandelay]

Go Iggy!

[Machiavelli]

Why would Crosby pass that to Iginla.....not a good idea.

[Art Vandelay]

Bad pass Crosby

[Smell My Finger]

good release by Richards. Man the Slovaks are pushing Canada around in the Slovak zone. No second chances.:confused:

[getbak]

I don't understand the big blocks of empty seats in the corners. They look to be the only empty seats in the building.

[Smell My Finger]

Crosby use your damn line mates.

[Machiavelli]

That Staal-Crosby-Iginla line isn't looking too hot to start...either Crosby is trying to do too much on his own or he is forcing ill-advised passes.

[Machiavelli]

Goal, YEAH!!

Edit: Ooh, might have been tipped too high.

Double-edit: No, I think it's okay.

[MRCboicgy]

Goal!! Marleau

Gonna be reviewed for high stick?

[Art Vandelay]

Yes! 1-0 Canada

Edit: Maybe high stick

Wow. Iggy has a shot. Nice set up by Crosby.

Jarome seems very disinterested tonight.

I'd feel way better with a 3-0 lead.

Canada needs a big body presence who gets it and can take the temperature of this game before one of the Slovaks with CHL experience makes this uncomfortable.

dammit

[403ep3]

We want usa!

[Jesse834]

Crud....

[Eastern Girl]

Bryan Adams!!!!

Ugh, Slovaks on the board. Enough with the USA chants. It's bad karma. Chant after the game is over and won by the Canadians.

[slappipappi]

I was watching the men's speed skating relay for the start of the 3rd. Is the first line broken up again?

Bergeron has replaced him for one shift.

With 13 forwards, it will happen from time to time.

[MRCboicgy]

Weak Bobby

[chalms04]

caught cheating

[Phaneuf3]

If that comes back to bite us...

[Mayer]

Yup, not a great goal. He must be so bored.

[zamler]

I blame the stupid chant.

[Phaneuf3]

Now Iggy back with Crosby.... was that last time just a weird change or something?

[HPLovecraft]

What a stupid play by Morrow.

Wow.

Looked like a blatant knee-on-knee by him coming at Stumpel.

[Diet Water]

Now Iggy back with Crosby.... was that last time just a weird change or something?

Bergeron went out there most likely to win a faceoff on his strong side, and the coaching staff was fine just letting him take the shift.

I don't think it's a big deal.

[Machiavelli]

Wow great save on Iggy.

[chalms04]

gahh Iggy

[getbak]

Man, Iggy.

[jergreen]

so close Iggy...

[Phaneuf3]

Fair enough. That was the first shift I watched in the 3rd. Reading the thread it sounded like that wasn't the first shift that Iggy was off that line.

I'll put away the panic button..... for now....

[awildermode]

oh, so close.

[Diet Water]

:lol:

[LockedOut]

Weber with a crazy shift.

[Phaneuf3]

F'n RIGHT!
Clobber him, Webber!

[Machiavelli]

I'm pretty sure Pierre McGuire just called Weber an "Adonis"
