I don't mind it with D pairings if it isn't outrageous. Forwards it's not as important, especially when they're doing it to suit someone who doesn't do a whole lot at the Olympics in general.

I think the special treatment Crosby gets is detrimental to Canada. The only reason they brough Kunitz is because he plays with Crosby, not because he is good enough to be there. I'm getting sick of the whole "we need to find someone to play with crosby". If Crosby is so freaking good should it matter who plays with him?

This is probably the best game I've ever seen Bouwmeester play.

Benn has outshone Crosby through this tourney so far. Time for the Crosby to make his mark.

He's waiting for the Gold Medal game.

I think part of the reason Bettman doesn't want NHL players in the Olympics is so that NHL fans aren't spoiled by the pace of these games anymore.

What i do not get is why Crosby is always on the top line when he has been no good, an whoever they put him with is automatically on the top line. Getzlaf- Perry and someone else have performed better than the crosby line the whole tournament and are not on the top or do not get nearly as much credit

Canada has had more (or the same amount) penalties called against them in every game despite dominating the puck possesion in every game. Seems...weird.

Canada is certainly carrying the play here, need an insurance marker though!
