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

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


It should be Doughty or Weber.

He shouldn't get MVP but winning a few key games protecting a 1 goal lead is clutch.

My god, Canada was a defensive juggernaut. Incredible performance shutting down the world's best players throughout the whole tournament.

You know it's a golden day when it's SNOWING IN VANCOUVER IN LATE FEB!!

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Got some sand in my eye or something...

MSL's interview was awesome

Ugh. Embarrassed at the way we gave up towards the end. Missing our top 3 centerman proved to be too much. No creativity in the offensive zone and some foolish giveaways. Looking back how the H*** does Jonathan Ericsson make this team over Victor Hedman? Congratulations to Canada, you played almost flawless hockey but just sad we couldn't make a better game of it. This one is going to sting for some time.

It's not that Sweden was not creative, it's because Canada's defence was very good not letting the opponent much space to create anything.

97.17 Save % and 0.59 GAA are pretty good though.

It's very good, but that's just stats. He had amazing defense, and players clutched wins for the team. He never won the team a game the team won the game.

 

[Chimpradamus]

Please don't bring up injuries. We lost Stamkos and Taveres. No slouches...

Guys like you will never get it, do you? When you have Bryan Little centering your 1st line because of injuries, it's the equivalent of a small country losing their entire center depth. You have 3 players on every position to step in, that is not the case for anyone else.

 

[CptPicard]

Canada with pretty 'meh' celebration.. Why's that? Usually you rush with joy from bench towards your goalie but they just slided slowly to Price.

Marty almost in tears. Class act.

Humble Carey

[LeafsMonster]

Kunitz played a great game. Very happy to see him get the monkey off his back. Congrats Canada, a total team effort.

 

[Zack Kassian]

and with that at 7am with no sleep i am finally going to bed! good game canada! congrats on the silver sweden.

 

[fahad203]

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

He truly is the ultimate underdog and come back story. Always under sized, waived, not drafted and all he does win Stanly Cup, Scoring titles and now Gold Medal

 

[Back in Black]

Woo-Hoo Canada!

He shouldn't get MVP but winning a few key games protecting a 1 goal lead is clutch.

The defense won Canada the gold. Not goaltenders, or offenseman

Yes we should feel bad for sweden. Its our fault we have so much depth. It doesnt matter thats what it takes to win. Excuses are not a good look

 

[Raymones]

Congrats Canada! I'm very impressed with your defensive effort. Probably the best defensive team effort ever.

A bit disappointed that Tre Kronor give you guys a good fight, but at the end, silver is just fine!

 

[Saintpatrick*]

Why is Selanne the MVP? lol

I don't have a problem with that he played an amazing tournament and was the MVP of his team.

 

[TonsofPuppies*]

It's very good, but that's just stats. He had amazing defense, and players clutched wins for the team. He never won the team a game the team won the game.

He's part of the team that won and he was better than Quick. Don't be mad, tho.

You know that to make a defence look good, a goalie has to be good?

Hockey a team game.
