what a great line

 

[Aaron Vickers]

Boyd knocks in a rebound to make it 2-1.

I have a feeling Boyd may be the heart and soul of this team.

You're not the only one with that feeling.He's an opportuinist and works damn hard too.

 

[Vic Rattlehead*]

HORRIBLE CALL!

This ref is just horrible.

 

[Whynks]

Who assisted on Boyd's goal?

 

[Zetterberg4Captain*]

WOW this is a brutal ref. He has made tons of questionable calls but at least he is calling it both ways.

 

[Aaron Vickers]

Canada's Bolland gets two minutes for being run into and not taking the worst of it.

 

[shakes]

Whew.. that was almost a minute before another PP.. I was beginning to wonder

 

[Aaron Vickers]

Who assisted on Boyd's goal?

Downie and I believe either Letang or Bourdon.

 

[MeatTornado]

This ref seems rather determined to 'steal the show'

Downie and Letang.

Letang.

Classic hahahahaha

Why does this ref have a job? He is terrible. Pierre and Gord were mentioning that we was also terrible at the U18's last year.

 

[canucksfan]

When is the IIHF gonna do something about this crap officiating? Every year it's the same BS.

No kidding. It's an absolute joke that they let this guy ref. He is horrible.

 

[espo*]

Who assisted on Boyd's goal?

Downie and Barker.

 

[Westcoasthabsfan]

I hope that Sutter chews out most of the players after that first period.... enough of the fancy behind the back high percentages passes etc... just shoot and drive to the net and the goals will come

 

[McJadeddog]

he has a job beacuse he works for the IIHF.... and we all know how "good" the refs are in international hockey, lol..... what a complete and utter joke.... how the IIHF can look at this tournament and not fire each and every one of the refs is beyond me..... all three games ive watched have had some of the worst refereeing ive ever seen in hockey at any level ..... but im getting used to that for IIHF tournaments (outside of the olympics of course)

 

[canucksfan]

Not a good period by Canada. Switzerland played very well. Their goalie is amazing. He made a couple of great saves.

I will be furious if this ref is reffing the game between Canada and the USA.

People can say all the negative things they want about Pierre McGuire, but you gotta admit...He delivers some great lines every now and then.

I've never had a problem with him, and I actually think we need more individuals like Piere in hockey.

Only one line going really right now.Of course,with the amount of penalties being called it isn't easy for players to get in a groove.

I'm not sure,one may be enough.

 

[Lessy]

A pretty sloppy period by Canada but with the amount of penalties called the game really had no flow whatsoever. Downie was arguably the best player on the ice in the period. Is it just me or is it a lot quiter in Vancouver than it was in Halifax, Winnipeg, etc. Hopefully the second period will actually have some flow to it and more time 5-on-5.
