Enjoyable game.

 

[GPF]

Canada would win this tournament with Grant Fuhr in goal .. It's ridiculous the gap between their roster and skill and the rest of the teams

 

[RattsSSV]

Best period of hockey this tournament so far.

 

[jagrgodr]

wow best saturday morning game ever!!!!!!!

 

[booyakasha]

Nice shift by Ennis to finish the period...wow, what a game!!!

 

[Coach Travis]

Ennis looks so good.

 

[1Gold Standard]

good period of action...

 

[John Agar]

Holy

Both goalie's have horseshoes up their wazooo

Posts, crossbars, toe saves, wide open nets missed, snow angels...

I wish Pavelec had been this lucky in the playoffs this year

 

[m4tt145]

Great game!

 

[Hemsky001]

great game so far, too bad we didn't score a goal

 

[Spender]

This game is fantastic, hopefully it will stay close!

 

[Novak Djokovic]

So much holding by the Czechs. I am not expecting PPs though.

 

[spacemunky]

So nice to see Ennis playing for a good team.

Good first period.

 

[illpucks]

Spezza looks amazing. Czechs are playing with fire. Could be 4-0 by now without Pavelec.

 

[Gereth]

Canada is so lucky again, I'm not complaining or something but it's a fact

I wouldn't say. They hit 3 posts after all. But it could've definitely been also 1:0 lead for Czechs.

 

[Davebo*]

All that whistling - are they 'booing' their teams inability to clear the puck from their own zone? Or just dismayed at Canada's general awesomeness?

Doesn't seem to have any effect on the way either team plays, weirdly.

 

[IAM]

LOL. Canada hit third post in the end of the period. This game could be 4-0.

There's a reason why we lost 5 qf's in a row. It's not just about skill. They have to play as a teAm or they could definitely like lose. We beat France by like one goal.

I like that the refs have put away their whistles. Call obvious penalties of course but that was some great hockey without the refs getting involved with minor tugs here and there.

 

[Ralgo]

Well, pretty clever from Canadians to play that 5 on 5 powerplay...

But that to many men call. Was pretty obvious even according to Ray Ferraro.

Great 1st

 

[VictorLustig]

Czechs are gonna have to score on those chances if they want to win. Can't afford to miss an open net like that. Pavelec is doing his part and is getting all kinds of help from his posts.

 

[Hemsky001]

well, when I wrote this, there were no 3 posts yet but it ain't changing the fact the Canada is lucky.. and yeah, as well as we are..

 

[ellja3]

is it just be or both in NHL and here players seem to fall at random moments very often? skates?
