Babcock needs to be investigated for insider betting me thinks.

Perry?

[jeremywilhelm]

Brodeur really cracked under pressure.

Pronger looks horrible. Neidermeyer needs to remember he is a defensman.

Babcock needs to remove his head
from his ass.

The San Jose line is the most unclutch line I have ever seen. San Jose is screwed again this year.

These things guarantee no medal I fear.

Finland is deep. And they don't give up any goals.

Canada can't score any goals, and give up alot of them.

C'mon, I don't know what game you were watching but we can score just fine.

Our problem tonight was goaltending. None of the other stuff would matter if we had better goaltending and were up 3-1 with a minute left.

By other stuff I mean Perry being lazy in the last minute, not taking a TO in the last minute, Iggy not getting a billion minutes, overuse of the SJ line etc.

This game really highlighted the gambles in Stevie Ys picks both positive and negative.

Doughty - outstanding scouting on this guy. I was shocked he was picked over Jaybo but I recant.

Bergeron - the chemistry wasn't there with Crosby and now he is incongruous other than the PK

Pronger - this guy is so slow wow.

Perry also made such a gaffe on that EN. WOW. Must give props to Miller because he was unreal. Wilson also outcoached Babcock - I mean come on why do you keep messing with a combo that works?!

[Shazam]

Start Luongo. Now please excuse me while I take a shower to remove the unclean!

Just say no to Canucks goalies and Brodeur. Oh, and to Jumbo Joe Thornton, too. Why he was ever selected with his penchant for crumbling in big games, I'll never know.

wow, there are sane people around?

Just a prediction.. it was better than using question marks

I doubt it would happen too, but I think Lindy Ruff would be a much better choice...

Jokinen is going to make Sutter(and all of us) pay for trading him away so quickly after picking up Hagman.

[sa226]

This thing is far from over......anybody who thinks otherwise would be foolish

This loss to the US could do the same thing for Canada that the loss to the Swedes did in 2002.

All Luongo has won is a world Championship back when.....but I think you have to go to him.

Brodour just isn't on, it started when he got pulled in his last NHL game and it continued to tonight.

[Joborule]

Wanna know why our D is underperforming?

Because Lowe picked it. Should be no where near the team.

So the only thing we need is a different coach, a few guys to have very limited ice time, and a different goaltender. I feel so much better now.

[FanIn80]

Actually, I think MA Fleury is a lot better than most people give him credit for. I don't mind giving him a shot at all.

Jesus.

Note: Luongo > Fleury in so many ways.

Fleury's Stanley Cup rings > Luongo's in the only way that matters.

Jesus.

Scoring 3 goals on 45 shots isn't scoring just fine, that's not counting the 100 shots that went wide.

That quite a laundry list of 'other stuff'. At this level, you can't make ONE mistake.

[HOOT]

Have the riots started yet?

[Bertuzzied]

You guys are nuts asking for Luongo. Fleury should have been the starter from the beginning.
