stop it with the refs. the canadians are getting owned and the refs are fine.

+1

Nash's running the goalie was a legit call. They showed the replay like 4 times and no angle showed him getting thrown into the goalie....heck, the Finn was nowhere near Nash

The 2002 Olympics the argument was that a 10 year old could have coached that team and won, thus Pat Quinn was not deserving of any kudos. This time as soon as they start to lose its all his fault and everyone else is blameless, including the players.

Nice job to have, if you win it has nothing to do with you, if you lose it's all your fault.

I was going to post the exact same thing, but then I'm used to it here at HFboards.
As well, McCabe hasn't done anything wrong in this game, yet somehow is getting all the blame. It's as pathetic as the way Canada is playing right now.

 

[Agasthya]

Great Play By Blake

 

[Matti_A]

Canada is still the favourite for gold in my book.

Team Canada always finds a way to win when it counts (playoffs).

This is the only Finnish game I've seen so far, but if they've played like this in their other games, I think we are watching the Gold Medal team.

 

[Namso]

oh god please stop playing regehr. He's so bad its unbelievable. Who is this guy?

 

[Agasthya]

We need to start generating some speed through the neutral zone.

 

[LeHab]

who scored for Canada?

 

[Habsaku]

oh god please stop playing regehr. He's so bad its unbelievable. Who is this guy?

One of the best defensemen in the league.

 

[jepjepjoo]

Selänne is on fire

 

[Quiet Robert]

Alright boys, PP time let's take advantage of it.

 

[Gord]

Canada look an awful lot like Quinn's Leafs right now

taking bonehead penalties, getting outplayed, outskated, etc.

heh heh heh
right on!

 

[Agasthya]

Well what do you know. We cycle the puck and show some effort in the offensive zone and good things happen! Who would've thunk it.

 

[Panopticon]

Nice dive by Lecavalier...


EDIT: And "nice" hit by Iginla on Timonen

 

[Habsaku]

Saku Koivu is the best european captain bar none.

 

[Namso]

One of the best defensemen in the league.

yeah i know who is in the NHL. but who replaced regehr's body for the olympics?

 

[pepty]

I'd like to see Dan Boyle and Eric Staal out there.Send down a defenceman
(McCabe? Regher? ) It won't be Pronger no matter how poorly he plays, he just has too much up side.Send down X foreward.Shake up this team.

 

[Chaos]

Excellent dive there.

 

[Rattrick]

Hey guys. I just got in, but how did Luongo play in the 1st? What was the deal with the 2 goals?

 

[Epsilon]

He's played great, really Canada's only good play so far.

 

[1datsyuk3*]

PP is heating up.....

 

[rec28]

Hey guys. I just got in, but how did Luongo play in the 1st? What was the deal with the 2 goals?

Luongo is the reason it isn't 5-0. He had no chance on either of the two that got in...

 

[mr gib]

ata boy guys keep er up!

 

[shakes]

Luongo is the only reason its not a blow out already..

 

[Rattrick]

Awesome! Thanks for catching me up.
