WJC Group A: Dec 31 GDT - Canada vs. USA

[190Octane]

Canada got a pretty good break on the second goal with Bourque falling.

This game has been awesome so far.

If it was just a fall I wouldn't call it a huge break.. tripping over the linesman doesn't happen too often.

Fair enough, Bourque tipping over the linesman was a huge break for Canada.

 

[naihlflames]

OK, lets get out of the 1'st period down only 1-2, regroup and come out strong in the 2'nd.

I've noticed Pogge likes to use that stick on players that bug him...

Vancouver crowd sucks big time. They should learn something from Montreal

 

[DBL]

Damn, I thought that was in.

 

[Red]

Oh God, I'm a Canucks fan, but Pierre is really fanboying Bourdon tonight.

Cogliano -- crossbar!

 

[Heldig]

Is Wheeler even playing?

 

[insider]

that sequence might end up as turning point

 

[190Octane]

Tough break for Canada.. almost score and then go on the PK.

Can't complain too much, USA! USA!

great calls by the ref

Referees: Let them play!

For the most part, they have.

 

[DBL]

This is no good. A 2-man advantage starting the third for about a minute for the US.

 

[190Octane]

2 man PP, even better.

That last hooking call was kind of cheap.

It was hooking, but it also was simply trying to play his man.

It wasn't as though he was water-skiing his man all the way up the ice.

 

[Lundmark17]

No complaints about the referee so far. I did scream at the TV on the Comeau penalty at the end but after checking out the replay it was a good call.

 

[Misos Milakos*]

Joke of a call on Comeau. Canada looks like the much better team 5 on 5.

Huh?

I don't know what you're talking about, but it is absolutely insane inside the Coliseum right now.

 

[KariyaIsGod*]

Joke of a call.

If that was hooking, I expect to see a lot more because that play happens repeatedly, game after game at every level international or not.

 

[FLYLine27*]

Staal and Parent have shut down Kessel so far, Kessel tried his trademark deke on both but both stopped Kessel.

 

[Yes Im Peter Ing]

That last hooking call was kind of cheap.

It was hooking, but it also was simply trying to play his man.

It wasn't as though he was water-skiing his man all the way up the ice.

That hook was the difference between beating his man and creating the turnover, and simply pursuing the American back into the zone. I think it was a good call.

 

[Misos Milakos*]

Huh?

I don't know what you're talking about, but it is absolutely insane inside the Coliseum right now.

Just a Habs fan trying to give his city a pat on the back.

 

[Pete Rock]

What's Jack Johnson doing on the ice in a suit during the intermission?

Oh wait. . . that's Bobby Orr.
