I'd like to see Canada starting to come together today. There's been a lot of smoke being talked about regarding not taking these games seriously until the medal round, fair enough but at some point you have to begin making strides, it's really never too early for that.

 

[HabSgt]

Canada gonna get a 6-0 lead in the first two periods but then get 6 goals scored on them in the third, win it in the shootout.

Thanks to @Summer Rose you're doing a great job.

No problem. Same for USA vs France as well.

Thank you. MY OCD appreciates.

The gauntlet of FIN-SUI-CZE back-to-back-to-back is coming up so the team is going to have to jump up a few notches, no disrespect to Norway.

For me it's still about chemistry among the lines and the defence pairings, and the special teams that need work.

Mercer scratched today, Greig jumps in

Gone for the tournament?
I hope not, we need him on the team vs Austria and GB! Those games are much more important.
Can't see us stealing any points in tonight's game anyways.

Daws in net, hmm

They’re going to give some starts to other guys.

Yep, thought it was going to be Hofer though

As he was sick earlier, perhaps he thought it was time to take a day off.
Norwegian commentators just said "some minor injuries", though.

This game is of course lost before it starts.

 

[HabSgt]

Darren Dutchysen has died. Sad news he was only 57.

 

[NyQuil]

Still throwing pucks around.

Need to manage it a bit better. Safe plays when nothing is available - get it in deep and forecheck.

 

[NyQuil]

Well Greig, that's not going to impress the coach.

Solid kill.

 

[NyQuil]

That's a weak call.

The opposite of the ref we had in the last game.

Hopefully they don't start calling all the ticky tack stuff.

Oh well, good PP practice.

 

[FDBluth]

Why isn't Bedard on the 1st PP?

 

[jj cale]

Like tavares out there so far today.

 

[Hennessy]

There's no way Canada stands up against this Norwegian juggernaut.

 

[NyQuil]

Some trouble with the breakouts.

Ok.

Nice little play! 1-0 Canada.

Tanev!
