[Deen]

Buck up Canada....

Ginger Papa is a bot

TSN panel very rattled

 

[Master P]

That was a solid Canadian onslaught there, that’s how they looked pretty much all tournament.

Need to build off that in the 3rd, just get one past Knight end the shutout and another goal will come after that shutout is broken.

Just need to start by ending the shutout.

Shutout, shutout, shutout.

Sorry bud, you can't force these things.

 

[Tralfamadore]

Lol irrational Byram hating coming in strong. He's been Canada's best player. He's been the only catalyst on the team.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

They don't care. If they would try, they would win.

Meh, most of the team looks like they're legitimately trying. USA's just been better.

 

[snipes]

3rd period comeback

That famous Canadian comeback, need to really dig deep here. Every bit of heart and soul type of hockey is needed.

Far from over.

Go Canada Go!

 

[Number 57]

Can't see Canada scoring 3 on Knight at this point, it's over

 

[Nihiliste]

TSN panel very rattled

They were delusional to hype up this canadian group, even more so without Dach, Laf, and Newhook’s shoulder

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Lol irrational Byram hating coming in strong. He's been Canada's best player. He's been the only catalyst on the team.

Sure, in the offensive zone. But it's a whole other story in his own end.

 

[Ryan Michaels]

As a Canadian, I'm frustrated with TSN wondering if this is the greatest team ever pre-game then, once they are down 2-0, noting that they lost a key player to injury in the pre-tourney games for no particular reason.

1) The US is playing great and outplaying Canada to this point. No bones about it. Game is still within reach though.

2) Team Canada with Crosby and Bergeron was the best Team Canada ever. This team isn't even close to that one.

Yeah I always found the greatest team ever narrative extremely annoying. The US has straight up outplayed them for most of this game, we'll see how the third goes though Canada's last ten minutes were dominant. But yeah best WJC team ever? I think not and never once bought into that.

 

[Backcheckmonster3]

His speed has been questionable throughout the tournament, maybe that it will transfer better in the NHL.

You saying NHL is slower than wjc? If all goes well he should end up a decent 3/4th line grinder.

 

[The Promised Land]

Canada has been playing horribly from the outset - no excuse to play this badly on such a big stage. If they have any heart they have 20 minutes to prove it. Pathetic.

 

[snipes]

Sorry bud, you can't force these things.

**** rationality when it comes to the hockey gods

 

[Bonin21]

Refs and tourney officials brainstorming best ways to get Canada on the PP within five minutes

You know it's coming

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Final 20 minutes, we’re coming back to win this!

I doubt it the Canadians aren't built for comebacks! Their passes are off,their shots are into Knight and the D-men can't bail them out with goals that they gave up by not tying up their men in the D-Zone!!!

 

[canuckking1]

Finland looked better against the States.... Hockey math does not compute

 

[The Blue Baron]

Duthie GET A GRIP!

 

[agent082]

Meh, most of the team looks like they're legitimately trying. USA's just been better.

Good to hear. Never heard here canadians lose against a better team.

 

[FMichael]

I hope Caufield stops turning the puck over... man he's been bad. A goal from him would suffice.

Habs GM Bergevin ordered 1 of these from Amazon just after Christmas...It'll be put to use if Caufield doesn't get it together ...

 

[Andy Dufresne]

To think these guys were being compared to the 2005 team....

Yikes

Don't worry, Crosby's in the room trying to figure out who he can switch out for with nobody noticing right now.

 

[Puckstop40]

Another Canada/USA WJC classic. This is my favorite hockey.

 

[Tralfamadore]

Sure, in the offensive zone. But it's a whole other story in his own end.

Wrong. The Zegras goal was kind of a broken play and Byram made a good play behind the net to get it up the boards. Otherwise there hasn't been much to say Byram was in the US end for the majority of his shifts.

EDIT: just clued in you're a Sens fan. It's clear now.
