Hell, he might have not needed ' a shooter' on that line if they weren't down heading into the third. Given the type of play we've seen from Nash-Crosby-Iginla.. I wouldn't have been suprised if they could have changed the outcome of the game.
Like I said, I really like Babcock but some of his decisions this tournament have really got me confused. Don't get breaking up Keith-Seabrook. Don't get the reliance on that Getzlaf-Perry line. Oh well, hopefully he gets it figured out sooner rather than later... they're going to have to if they want to get by Russia. Go Canada!

All true, but I wouldn't look past the Germans (Oh nozzz the Germans!), Bab's has been outcoached considerably the last couple of games against teams with significantly less talent to work with.
I realize the odds of Canada losing to Germany may be insignificant but with how things have been going lately I wouldn't say it couldn't happen.
