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

[Scandale du Jour]

Watching Bourdon play I wonder why the Habs had not drafted him! This guy rocks, I love his play! He is the total package on defense, fun to see the Q producing a great d-man, we were due!

 

[Le Golie]

Erik Johnson is a machine. He's got a chance to be one of those rare Number 1 NHL defenceman.

 

[Powdered Toast Man]

...don't forget Lee. He is good too...

Canada needs to stand tall here on the penalty kill.

 

[emb24*]

kessel reminds me of a young modano, but someone's going to have to tell him he can't stickhandle through 5 guys every time
but US has a good chance to tie it with the 2 man pp to start second...some observations:
US has great speed and skill but is vulnerable to the forecheck...Canada looks like it has a better D group - but the US looks a little better up front...

we'll see...

I'm going to have to start watching U of M games when they are on because Cog's is one hell of a player.

He reminds me of someone with the way he skates but I can't put my finger on it.

 

[Vic Rattlehead*]

Nice save by Pogge.

He reminds me of Paul Kariya, with a little less offensive ability.

Sens homer?

 

[DBL]

Pogge again with the stick.

He's been good so far though. Great glove save.

 

[Vic Rattlehead*]

Great kill by Canada.

PP for Canada now.

 

[DBL]

No real chance on that PP. Good job by the US PK'ers.

 

[insider]

Good PP

Downie-Boyd-Barker-Russell-Bolland... gotta love it

 

[emb24*]

kariya is a nice comparison but he's more physical..he plays more like brendan morrow..but cogliano is small? right like mike comrie small?

 

[Powdered Toast Man]

I'm a Sens homer cause I think Lee deserves to be mentioned when your talking about good american players on this team? LOL

Whadd'ya mean

Downie wan creating havoc (ok slight exaggeration)

No, cause they are talking about defensemen playing well... I've been looking for Lee, can't find him!

 

[Powdered Toast Man]

I havn't seen Staal. I see Lee plenty. Got an assist on Bourques goal, pretty sure.

 

[Vic Rattlehead*]

Lee has been invisible in this game.

 

[DBL]

Oh look, there's Lee...he just got nailed. Now I notice him.

 

[emb24*]

will the 'nucks trade bourdon to my habs (since luc WAS a habsfan) for carey price straight up?

He was learning not to do that at Minnesota. He may be trying too hard to make something happen.

 

[Vic Rattlehead*]

I havn't seen Staal. I see Lee plenty. Got an assist on Bourques goal, pretty sure.

You haven't seen Staal? He was to one who was stopping Kessel in the first period (along with Parent).

Wow, don't let homerism get out of hand.

Bourque's was assisted only by Kessel

 

[Maken*]

Now that's the terrible call I've been waiting for.
