yeah, that idea was the biggest load of horsecrap i've ever heard.

Seriously though. Early in the first two periods Nash Crosby and Iginla were getting great chances. And yet they are hardly seeing any ice time. Babcock needs to ride Crosby. The kid is used to it and he gets better the more minutes he gets.

[Machiavelli]

Canada had some offensive chances that went to waste with unnecessary fancy plays.

[cannon7]

Somehow Switzerland has gotten into these guy's heads.

It's Brodeur's fault. You're right again.

Its babcock's fault in the first place.

lets keep throwing out the san jose line and bench everyone else and see what happens.

[kirant]

This team needs more Bouwmeester.

[Pastiche]

Meh, we're still going to win this game.

[Erick Estrada]

I'm not a fan of the way Babcock is handling the team. Doughty was outstanding in game one then makes one mistake and his ice time is taken away. It seems if you don't have a good shift he's going to change up the lines and put someone in your place. It's like watching a Playfair coached team. He doesn't particularily seem to be an Iginla fan but it's not like he's been giving Crosby a lot of time either.

[d_phaneuf]

Need to get Crosby on a new line, and they need to play him more

Morrow was out there more than Crosby it seemed like

[CGY12]

Niedermayer Pronger Crosby Getzlaf all aren't playing very good. I'm not liking BabCOCK at all thus far. Instead of sitting the guys you dont like why not sit the guys who aren't playing very well for a shift or two?

[BACKCHECK!!!]

Canada needs to show "urgency". That is what they were lacking last Olympics, and it's what they're lacking this game.

Nope. You don't seem to be familiar with Moon. He is always right, and the person he is arguing with is always wrong, even when they are clearly right.

The D has shi* the bed tonight.

[HelloHockeyFans]

Some lucky bounces for the Swiss... not worried at all. Canada probably comes out in the third on fire winning by at least 4 goals to end the game.
