We dominated?

Last time I checked you lived south of the border!

I kid, I kid.

I'm gonna choke a bitch of Iggy doesn't start right beside Crosby in 20 minutes.

Canada was much better and the US was able to capitalize on two lucky bounces and a few no calls.

If the game stays like this Canada should win easily.

Damn, just after the first period I would be smashed.



May be the World Jr. but it still applies.

[nik-]

oh Marty

[Jesse834]

At this rate we are on pace 57 shots.

I know, I know. I just purely meant that I'm not sure Miller WILL crumble.

Too late.

From what I saw the line Iggy was on looked better than the first line with Crosby. At this point for Iggy's sake I would prefer the line he is on just get more minutes than have him moved again. Crosby and Nash haven't looked as good as Towes and Morrow so far.

where can I find +/- , hits and time played for this game?
Everything seems to be controlled by CTV and they don't have those stats?

Canadians are clrearly more talented than the americans and its showing, but with that being said you got to give the americans credit they are captilizing on all there chances. This american team is pretty damn young and will be a force in the next olympics if the NHL lets them go. The longer they hang around the more confidence they will get.

[Hemi-Cuda]

Brodeur seemed to get far to excited to play the puck with no trapezoid again, man did he make some stupid decisions when he left his crease. he also doesn't seem to have the reflexes anymore to recover from a mistake like he used to. i just hope the decision comes down to which goaltender is playing better hockey, and not anything referring to how veteran a player is

[jschick88]

Babcock=fail. Great move putting Bergeon out there for the first American goal. Questioning Babcock like I have never before.

So annoying...at work and can't find a stream

Sakic had 2 goals and 2 assists, Iginla had 2 goals and one assist. I think there was a Sakic goal where he went in all alone.

[HPLovecraft]

Toews looks good with Iginla, it's Morrow I could do without. He fumbled a prime scoring opportunity with a weak shot and just can't make plays happen.

[d_phaneuf]

Brodeur needs to step the fu$%# up

getting close to Luongo coming in, and even if they win it will be because of the team in front of Brodeur

Toews/Iginla/Morrow was likely their best line that period.

Now, why would you change that?

[3 Justin 3]

Bouwmeester should be there.
