GDT: Gold Medal Game • Feb. 23 • Sweden vs. Canada • Part IV

[Sharpshooter]

Price unflappable.

Couldn't be flapped all game. No flaps, has he!

Why is Selanne the MVP? lol

 

[ChuckNorris]

Congrats, Canada! The best team won.

 

[HavlatMach9]

CBC gives Crosby the first star?

I think they had the order reversed there, that was Price's game.

the goal sucked the life out of Sweden though.

 

[tmurfin]

Great 4 more years of Canadian gloating and arrogance.Cant wait.

Hey man, sports have always been about bragging rights! I would expect the same from any fanbase.

 

[LeafsMonster]

No way. Price was very good but the game ended on Crosby's goal.

Probably ended on kunitz' goal. Toews had the game winner. But sid did have a goal and assist. Still think price deserved it cause of his shutout. Eh whatever.

Game started out great, and the Swedes looked up to the task. After a while though, they just got worn down by the four quality lines that the Canadians threw out there. Canadian stars played good team hockey, D was mistake free, and Price was solid. They really found their game as the Tournament went on... Thought they looked like crap early against some of the lesser teams.

St. Louis played we'll... was Sharp hurt, or just taken out?

Good for Subban for keeping his mouth shut and enjoying the moment. Must be tough to not get a minute when you are the Norris winner. The D looked great, though (Keith looked a bit off), so I can't fault the decision.

 

[Frederick Stanley]

Why? He hasn't needed to be clutch or steal a game.


It should be Doughty or Weber.

97.17 Save % and 0.59 GAA are pretty good though.

 

[MayorFord]

I think Hockey Canada makes them rings, but nope...coaches don't get medals.

must of mistaken with world juniors where they get a medal too i think

 

[Gestalt]

Gold for Canada!

 

[boozeash]

Great game. Canada saved their best game for last

 

[Dr Pepper]

Why is Selanne the MVP? lol

Because he played a spectacular tournament, set a record for production at his age, and led his team to a bronze medal?

 

[Trap Jesus]

I get Sweden was very shorthanded, but they had absolutely no life in them. I'd be very disappointed in that effort if I was a fan of the team.

The commitment to defense was great for Canada the entire tournament, but their performance in the last two games was something special.

 

[Lugaid]

Honestly sweden didnt play good in any of their games in this tournament...still they play in the final but they played horrible bad hockey.

Always nice to see the classy finnish vulture-posters when Sweden ends up on the short end in the finals. Yeah, Sweden wasn't the best team of the tournament, but they were consistant.

 

[Zack Kassian]

hopefully the canucks can get some good flaps back in the season. right now we have no flaps going for us.

 

[Kamal007]

omg, marty st louis *tears up*

 

[Sigh]

Feels good man.

 

[Ewan McGregor*]

MSL making my eyes water

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

MSL interview...thing of beauty.

 

[Stad]

MSL is almost in tears, happy he got the chance to go.

 

[ark]

MSL Yeahhh!

 

[void]

Because he played a spectacular tournament, set a record for production at his age, and led his team to a bronze medal?

Ok lol

 

[Sleeptalker*]

Congratz Canada!

... and Sidney Crosby!

Blow by blow for the Swedes - first that loss in the Olympic-final and then to get to know about that Nicklas Bäckström doping-story.

A real slapshot straight in the mouth for Sweden!

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Marty <3

 

[Chimon]

Loved the ovation that MSL got. The crowd knows.
