[larmex99]

So, how did we manage to beat Germany?

 

[OttawaRoughRiderFan*]

Still expect Canada to win this without too much trouble.

Me too but why make it hard on yourself?

 

[TonsofPuppies*]

This team will never score the first goal.

 

[Ducksgo*]

What a bad ass goal by Griger on Slovakia. Canada is looking far less superior that one thought going into this tourney

 

[Penalty Kill Icing*]

While we are at it, I just can't stand that expedia ad. Not many commercials are made worse than that.

 

[Shrimper]

Me too but why make it hard on yourself?

Think people are just getting a bit carried away really. If it's 1-0 with 2:00 left then start complaining.

 

[Habsawce]

Christ, Fucale looks just as bit as bad as Paterson

 

[SprDaVE]

Yikes Fucale looks shaky like hell early on.

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

Everyone is really overreacting to McDavid last game.

 

[Davebo*]

Is Canada getting relegated still possible?

It's what we ****ing deserve. Maybe that would shake free the dead wood at Hockey Canada. I'm talking about you, bob nicholson - you're WAY past your due date.

 

[EON]

too late to invite Comrie or Jarry?

 

[TonsofPuppies*]

That rebound doesn't leave me confident in Fucale's abilities.

 

[Stoneberg]

Dumba is so bad in his own zone it's laughable. How Minnesota didn't immediately send him back to juniors at the start of the year is mind blowing to me.

 

[carolinacanuck]

remember when canada used to ice physical teams who pounded opponents and wore them down? ya, me too.

 

[Lustaf]

That came off the boards behind the net so fast, I'm inclined to not blame the goalie on that one. It's 2mins in give the kids a break.

 

[BiggestLeafsFanEVER*]

Everyone is really overreacting to McDavid last game.

people overreact to everything he does. any decent play he makes is blown out of proportion like it's the greatest play ever and any thing that isn't perfect is blown out of proportion like it's the worst thing ever.

 

[Fakey123]

Come on boys, play Canadian style hockey, hit somebody for God's sake.

 

[OttawaRoughRiderFan*]

Think people are just getting a bit carried away really. If it's 1-0 with 2:00 left then start complaining.

True, but it's not that. It's just that we are playing stupid hockey.

 

[ViCiieux]

Maybe Canada should be happy there is quarter-finals in this tournament =p

 

[Penalty Kill Icing*]

Two shifts for Canada so far in Slovak zone. And both were by Laughton-Gauthier-#25 line.

 

[Habsawce]

They look terrified to lose and that is a recipe for disaster

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

This Petan line can't do anything right

 

[1Gold Standard]

It's what we ****ing deserve. Maybe that would shake free the dead wood at Hockey Canada. I'm talking about you, bob nicholson - you're WAY past your due date.

If finishing 6th or worse in the tournament would do that, rid HC of the deadwood... then I'd gladly take it...but unfortunately I don't think Bob "you know what" Nicholson is going anywhere for a while.

 

[Konnan511]

Fucale looks like he is having trouble seeing the puck. Huge hit by lazar then a huge hit by the SVK player. Pretty good game thus far.

Mantha is floating out there, which is depressing to see.

 

[TSM]

Fucale looks nervous. If we lose this game there will be lotsa questions on how this team was assembled. Dumba's another minus.

Where's Domi? Where's Comrie?
