So sad that the man who scored a hat trick in the first game (not to mention 2 goals in the gold medal winning game back in '02) has hardly seen any ice in this game. WTF is Babcock's problem??!

Not much you can do when the opposing goalie stands on his freaking head like this... it's not like we are playing terrible.

That said, it is interesting how all of Yzerman's questionable roster decisions has hurt the team tonight.

Haven't been following the thread, but why is Iggy off the top line?

I don't think he was concussed on the play, and I understand the chemistry isn't what it was vs. Norway, but does Babcock just give up on the #1 line in less than half a game?

Also, I realize they have both goals for the Canadians, but is anyone else tired of seeing the SJ Canadians play? It seems like Thornton, Heatley, Marleau and Boyle are out there every shift.

What the hell is Babcock doing? Towes has done what this tournament and you have a guy like Iggy who I thought was playing great tonight on the bench.

Lots of players getting benched. Did Yzerman pick the bad players or is the head coach panicking. Don't coaches always preach poise and patience out from the players?

Well you know for sure Iggy won't see the ice in OT.

I suspect a mild concussion, only way I can see them justifying moving Iggy who was the best player on the top line for the first 5 periods of this tournament off the line in the third and giving him very minimal ice time.

Just exactly like so many of us said they would.

Why is this Crosby/Nash combo set in stone? It seems like they're the only two players that haven't been shuffled around and when Iginla hasn't been on the line with them, they haven't looked all that good.

I think Babcock is a fan of the flashy dangle type player.

Benching someone for one mistake is big time panic.

I think Seabrook got benched for the entire 3rd too.

Pathetic coaching by Babcock.

I find it highly ironic that fans in Vancouver are vocally complaining about a flopping goaltender
