WC: Apr 30 GDT - Latvia vs. Canada

[Everest]

Sometime's he is funny.

...but most of the time he's really lame.

 

[Vic Rattlehead*]

Mcguire questioned the Canadian powerplay this morning in the pre-game...he's eating his microphone now!

It was horrible in the pre-game matches. He had the right to do so.

 

[Everest]

The glass in Innsbruck is "old school"...making it an unreliable clearing option. Canada needs to stay away from trying to put the puck on that glass...its trouble!

Oh well, he's there and we can't get rid of him so lets just accept it and move on.

 

[Vic Rattlehead*]

The Gagne - Thornton - Nash line has three of the five goals for Canada. Total domination by this line.

canada's powerplay and penalty killing has impressed me, as for 5 on 5, the second period was brutal for canada in that regard. except for that nash goal. and the defence! oh boy, they need some work to come together as a team. i say lock em up in a room tonight and make em share thier feelings

I can't say I would be doubting the powerplay on account of exhibition games...they are called "tune ups" for a reason.
Morrison,Heatley,Nash,Thornton and a couple of D-men give Canada alot of options. How could Pierre realistically think we were going to have trouble figuring things out?
I think our powerplay will be effective evey time its allowed to go to work as often as this game.

because we have MacT behind the bench DOH!

 

[nikki9]

Nice footage they had on Heater.

Yes,T-Mac is Latvias best penalty killer.

 

[Oil_slick9416*]

Yes,T-Mac is Latvias best penalty killer.

MacT can't run a PP, it won't be long until canada is snake bitten on the PP

 

[hossy316]

Yes,T-Mac is Latvias best penalty killer.

I didn't know Tracy McGrady played for the Latvians.

 

[High flyin' Habs*]

Anyone has a link to live streaming?

 

[Everest]

Pee-air wants another Canadian Powerplay now!!

Take you Pierre hating somewhere else. This is a gameday thread.

"Rick, I love you" says Thornton to Nash.

Just kidding. But should that last goal count? I mean Nash really pushed the goalie and the puck inside the net with his legs ... doesn't matter.

Hahaha,

No, it should count, a goal for Canada is a goal for Canada regardless of how it was made.

 

[X0ssbar]

This play-by-play guy is brutal (at least on the mediazone stream).

Oh yeah... sweet goals by the Columbus Franchise..

 

[FLYLine27*]

Nash is leading the tourney in points(I think)

LoL of course he is...Canada and another 2 teams are the only ones that have played half a game so far.

 

[Oil_slick9416*]

latvian PP

latvia scores 5-3

 

[nikki9]

No!!!!!!!, oh well at least we're still leading!!

 

[Captain Leaf]

Boy i sure hope this isnt Canadas best game ..Doan and Maltby look like they should be playing junior B.

 

[Everest]

We need to see some shot blocking on the penalty kill!

 

[Oil_slick9416*]

Rick Nash gets penalty for elbowing...kind of a bad call

 

[Oil_slick9416*]

canada's D looks very amateurish out there. not very good.
