I thought the Staal–Crosby–Iginla line looked progressively better through the first 30 minutes of the game, and were easily the most dangerous line all night long. I'm very pleased by the play of the whole team minus Perry and Getzlaf; Niedermayer looked much better; the SJ line was better with less ice time. The coaching is still mind-blowingly bewildering. If this team wins a gold medal, it will be a monumental achievement, and one most certainly precipitated in spite of the coaching.
