Well, hopefully Babcock will leave Iggy with Crosby and Nash as they actually worked hard.

As well as GET THORNTON OFF THE FATAING ICE WHEN IT MATTERS.

The Iggy line tears it up for almost 2 straight minutes, then within seconds the San Jose line lets a goal in.

Luongo better start against Germany as well, Brodeur is way to excited out there playing the puck.

Canada is a choking nation when it comes to these Olympics. Clearly the hockey team has bought in too.

Brodeur should not play another game. Babcock should have pulled him after the 2nd horrible goal.

Babcock has to be one of the worst international coaches of all time.

Iginla gets put back on the top line, they absolutely dominate with two shifts, scoring on there first then arguablly having the best shift of the tournament. Instead of taking a timeout he throws out that piece of crap Sharks line and Cory Perry?!?!?

I think Brodeur has played himself out of a starting position. 2 Goals were directly his fault. Time to give Roberto a chance.

Iggy was one of the best out there. Too bad he didn't get on the Crosby line earlier or this could have been a win.

Out coached is all I have to say. Why does Babcock feel the need to split up Iggy Nash and Crosby. Clearly our best line in the third when those three were together. I have lost all faith in Babcock, all faith.

Of course, the media is going to focus on Miller now. Don't get me wrong, he played a hell of a game, but he didn't face our best lineup. He faced a team weakened by incredibly lousy coaching decisions. If the Crosby-Iggy line was together for the whole game, this would have been a different story.

The media needs to stop pandering to Babcock, and start asking the real questions.

Martin Brodeur, I can't even begin to explain what he thought he was doing out there. Babcock, even less chance I can explain his actions.

Playing like this against a team like the Russians will be humiliating, assuming we somehow get to play them.

Unlucky bounces, ran into a hot goalie, can't score.

Solution: blow up the core, replace coach.

Wait, I wasn't watching the Flames?

I can't even express how pissed I am at Mike Babcock. This stubborn piece of should be hit by a bus. I don't know what his damage is, but Iggy Crosby Nash just works, I don't get what his hard on is for messing with this.

Ryan Miller was inhuman tonight and Brodeur was a tragedy.

Goaltending on both sides was the difference. That is all.

Babcock's decisions were strange, but they did cost the victory imo.

Guess whose starting the next game.

Miller put on a show. Brodeur... not quite.

Leave the baseball crap to Roloson.

If Iggy is not on the top line vs. the Germans. I will drive to Vancouver and rip Babcock a new one. He is put on the ice and surprise a chance and a goal.
