GT - Canada vs. USA

[3 Justin 3]

Our defenseman need to watch it.

Iginla/Crosby = goal

[Phanuthier]

Anyone who thinks Luongo is playing well, look down the other side of the ice and watch how Miller is playing. Luongo is flat out getting played.

[direwolf]

Wow, Iggy with Crosby. I'm shocked. I was certain that Iggy wouldn't even see the ice in OT.

Isnt this part of the game? I mean doesnt it happen both ways ? Dont you make your own luck ?Lets face it , maybe Canada isnt as strong as you thought or maybe they just arent tough minded enough to finish games out.. I mean they almost let slovakia tie last game, it seems to be modus operandi for this team.

However for you to call the Americans "losers" makes you look ignorant. This young , outskilled American team has went head to head with the Canadians in their game in their house , not once but twice. They won the first one and overcame a defeict late in this game to tie. I for one and very proud of them , your blind if you dont think they deserve any Canadian respect.

No Canadian defender between Parise and Luongo, yet somehow it's HIS fault?

Please.

He simply said Luongo should've controlled the rebound. I'm not Pasi Nurminen so I'm not going to debate the point.

In any case, I've already psoted it, I think Crosby (one the classiest guys around is going to be rewarded by the hockey Gods) will get the game winner.

oh no what will i do if you ignore my posts?

Show me all these supposedly talented American players that could have made team Canada if I am so wrong.

Lillehammer 1994 - gold medal game Canada/Sweden (well in a shootout actually), but we know how that turned out.

Canada is not establishing any flow.

They talked about it at the intermission and saying he probably could have prevented it by catching and holding the puck instead of batting it out with his glove which lead to the double deflection and eventual goal.

Puck luck is part of the game. I didn't say that the Americans should be given a loss.

But when the Americans rely on it and we are talking about how talented each team is than the fact that the Americans haven't shown any talent this tournament and relied on a lot of puck luck comes into the argument.

[Machiavelli]

The atmosphere is so tense and nervous....the crowd has even stopped Luuuuuuu'ing routine plays.

[Phaneuf3]

Iggy with the best chance in the second half of the game.

[DownInFlames]

Iggy wants it bad

ohhh Jarome!!
