I think Zucc is being matched quite hard in this game. First period he played 8:45 or something like that. But yes, he seems sloppy, inaccurate, etc..

Canada has not impressed me

Pretty dominant in the second though, for a team that hasn't impressed.

Very frustrating to watch. I just hope they start hitting again, and string a few passes together. Not much to cheer for this period.

Pacc - Stastny - Oshie was the best line by far in my opinion. Oshie assisted both of Stastny's goals and they owned the zone nearly every shift.

I was more impressed by the Toronto duo + Pavelski.

Also, Parise-Backes-Callahan was the least productive line by far. Backes and Oshie already have chemistry.

i think its gonna be USA and Sweden for gold. just a hunch. i know its early... just a feeling i have

I would love that. I think Canada is too strong up and down the lineup, though. Look at that center depth: Crosby, Toews, Getzlaf, Tavares. It's just unfair.

Is it me or does Nash look like ****?

Another PP to Norway in the dying seconds of the second period.

 

[justanomade]

1 for 3 PP first minute of the third and game on?

I`m just dreaming

 

[Loff]

That 1st period was the period for Norway to take advantage. They looked better. An exceptional team like Canada will find their game and get used the bigger rink size eventually.

I doubt we'll score 2 so just getting a goal is a W in my book. LOL.

To each his own I guess.

I don't disagree that the Parise line was the weakest, but I liked Oshie on his line a lot. I'd look for a different combination to revive that "first" line.

I thought Nash looked good.

yeah, i thought he looked fine. A few shots, some pretty good cycling and a good little play on the PK. Certainly isn't the best player on the ice but not really sure what people could be disappointed about

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

MacTruck being awesome!

I'll admit I stepped away from the TV several times. Perhaps I caught all his bad moments. All I remember was a few giveaways, a bad pass and not backchecking.

hehe, have to agree with that

 

[TheTakedown]

Canada doesn't look very impressive if you ask me... I think USA has the better lineup on the ice (although Canada has the better line up on paper)

 

[Dagh]

hehe, have to agree with that

A 3/4-1 loss would be just fine by me, at this point. Shouldn't crush the team too badly, and will leave just enough frustration about not capitalizing on their chances in the first for later games.

Side note. I hate the NBC broadcast guys

 

[Loff]

Mathis! Yes.

 

[mike14]

Price is a tard

 

[justanomade]

Oliiiiiiiiiiiiiimb!!!

 

[DoTheBlue]

Norway on the board. Nice

 

[Placid]

And Olimb nets it at the start of the third.. YAY

2 - 1

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Carey pays the price!

 

[mike14]

Olimb (sp?) has been really good

 

[The Gloaming]

Nice! I really like this Olimb character.
