Is this thread a joke? Seriously? All I heard after your win over the USA was how great your team selection was, and suddenly it sucks? Come on, really?
Canada has too many sore losers. Canada wins, and they're the greatest. Canada loses, and it's that they didn't have their best players, or they don't care about the tournament, or they were still the better team despite the result. And apparently we can add "bad team selection" to the list of excuses. Just admit you lost and move on with it!
Canada always prides itself on its heart and their will to win. Well here was that in the third period? How could a team with so much heart and will to win choke so badly in their championship moment?
Haha, this is exactly what I love about posters here. You make a comment about how someone starts their post instead of actually reading what is in it, and then you throw in your last comment. You are a beauty, no doubt.
Nope, not frustrated at all. Unlike you, I can give credit to a team that for 6 games and 45 minutes played their behinds off. You just can't see that.
If Canada tied it at the end and won it in over time, we wouldn't be seeing this thread.
Good teams don't blow 3 goal leads in 6 minutes of hockey.
Ya man, we would have totally won if we could have sent 3 more teams to the tourney...
Team selection wasn't that bad. We were dominant for 40 minutes. Its the coaching that should be blamed and the players themselves for not stepping up when the Russians did. Cameron is awful though. You look at the Russian coach and he didn't do anything to deflate his team because he knew their kids have heart. Cameron just yelled for the entire TO, noticeably making everyone even more nervous.

You guys want Murphy instead of Cowen or Gudbranson? Get real. If elite shutdown blueliners in their respective leagues weren't shutting the door tonight, what the hell makes you think Murphy would?
The problem with this team was goaltending and lack of secondary scoring. Schwartz got injured, Connolly and Couturier played awful, and players such as Hamilton, Ashton, Foligno, Cizikas, Howden and others were being counted on to provide solid secondary scoring. To be fair to those players, the collapse was because of the defense, Russia's extremely skilled forwards and pathetic goaltending. Visentin could not make the big save, or any save when it mattered.
This Canada team was as good as any that could've been selected based on the players available.
They had no business losing this game, but they wholeheartedly pooped the bed in the final period. Nothing more, nothing less.
It seemed as though they collectively decided to not play at all in the 3rd period.
