Not much sustained offensive pressure yet but my goodness they've had ONE practice together - and the first period of the first game isn't even over yet.

Jeez.

Agreed but the competition is also going to get much much tougher. Chemistry or no chemistry they should be pounding this team.

[Machiavelli]

Okay, who is this 'tender?

[IceMan]

wow this goalie is playing awesome so far.

At least they're keeping him in the dark.

[Vedder]

The floodgates will open soon. Canadians just trying to find their way.

[Kybosh]

Canadian PP to finish up the period.

[Machiavelli]

Canada is gaining some momentum.

[Infamous1]

[shermanator]

I'm at work and can't watch the game, but based on the following quotes, I'm wondering if this a Flames game or a Team Canada game? Jesus christ guys, we've been waiting 4 years for this tournament, enjoy it a little.

Canada is finally remembering they have a massive advantage in the checking game.

[corporatejay]

Do people really believe that Bergeron and Crosby have chemistry because a WJHC 5 years ago? Or Richards for that matter (as pierre alluding to).

No, but I was just seeing a lot of comments how Canada isn't playing that well, etc.

They are dominating. The 0-0 score doesn't tell the whole story.

[Smell My Finger]

Nash is treating this game as a allstargame. Terrible work habits.

[DownInFlames]

What a achance for Getzlaf!

[IceMan]

Getz with the wide open net. It's coming.

[Diet Water]

Ryan Getzlaf is the Olli Jokinen of team Canada.

[Smell My Finger]

0-2 not playing Iggy on the PP.

[Mtt48]
