Big Picture - You play the back up in the 3rd to give him some action - It isnt about Rousseau - Its about the team !! ( If Rousseau goes down you have to put in a guy who as no action at all )
If Canada wins they did the right thing, if they don't then everyone is a critic and knows better.
Powerplay goals don’t result in a + or - (although shorthanded goals do).
It's in the tourney because of the Scandinavian-Baltic lobby in the IIHF that allowed a country that has no considerable development program* to participate 3 years in a row in the top division replacing two better teams without being properly promoted from the lower division.
Jeff O'Meal is a motormouth too. I think they're being encouraged to speak that way.
They're not trying to represent the Platonic ideal of the name... they're trying to say that particular guy's name, and they're going to say it like he says it.

Might be because he's a Canadian and Italian isn't spoken in Canada. That might be why.
I can’t see why not!

I honestly like her. She explains things and I've never been confused after listening to her. I respect that she knows the game because she played. It's not a prerequisite outright for me, but it's handy I think. Her voice is clear and doesn't cause me to recoil in agitation (lol, again not a prerequisite outright for me but if I'm listening to ppl I gotta connect with the voice and not find them annoying or something).
