I can understand wanting Canada to win; after all, hockey is really the only cultural export of any significance that Canada can claim as its own, particularly when it comes to athletics. In football, baseball, Christ, even soccer Americans always have superior talent. It truly would be a crushing blow if the U.S. took that from Canada as well. There would be nothing of relevance left that Canda could call it’s own, except for maybe Alanis Morissette or mullets. Sad, very sad indeed.

Canadian Smake?
Co-worker firend of mine is Canadian, and a life long Leafs fan. He’s so confident of a CAN gold medal win over USA, he sends me a smake-talking email this morning with the following wager: If CAN wins, he will buy me lunch, and vice versa if USA wins. So, pay for the win, conosole with a lunch.
What does this say about Canadians?
ah-VEECH-kin

Good point. Though RUS did win their group and CAN didn’t exactly play poorly, they just lost the one game to USA. In retrospect it should have been easy to see that RUS meltdown coming. I just thought playing CAN would wake them up and fire them up.

Killer_Carlson and Steckel Me Elmo are like brothers to me. And when I say brothers I don't mean like actual brothers. I mean it like how black people use it, which is more meaningful, I think.
USA wins with every minute in the Canada zone, even if the puck is behind the net or in a corner and they never get a shot off. They’re wearing the Canadians down. It’s beautiful to watch.

I’m OK with this. USA did some damage. They’re clearly under the skin of Perry and Getzlaf. They laid some big hits, forced Canada to block a bunch of shots, and generally took a physical toll.
1-0 is not a bad place to be at the intermission.
Atta dinnin stick a who!
If the game can go for Team USA as it did for Hershey today. Note: Hershey was down 1-0 after the first period, tied it up in Period 2 and went on to win in a shootout.
Rocking the Red since 1975
Agreed. I would think that deep down, team Canada may feel a little let down that they are only up 1-0. they had a good amount of chances. The USA squad should feel that they will get their chances and wear them down.
What amazing date in history are we giong back to today, Mr. Peabody?
It almost worked for Slovakia. Question is can USA maintain the pace for two more periods, they looked to fade a bit at the end of the first.

Yeah, but I thought the puck started touching the line, then his skate came up.

I don’t believe the blue line is the same rule as the goal line.

No, if anything is on the line you get the benefit of the doubt. So to gain the zone you just touch the blue, to leave the zone it has to fully clear it out.
Killer_Carlson and Steckel Me Elmo are like brothers to me. And when I say brothers I don't mean like actual brothers. I mean it like how black people use it, which is more meaningful, I think.
IIHF Rule book:
b) The determining factors in deciding an offside are:
1. The players’ skates position – player is offside when both skates are completely
over the blue line in his attacking zone before the puck completely crosses
the line,
2. The puck position – the puck shall have completely crossed the blue line into
the attacking zone.
Weird. That’s different from every other level of hockey I’ve ever played or watched. Offensive team always gets the benefit.

Well by IIHF rules that’s probably off-sides. I don’t really care though because CAN has gotten their fare share of calls so far.

its one thing for a ref to let it go when it just redirects the puck a bit through the neutral zone, but when it gains them the offensive zone? WTF.

Amen. They just need to keep digging and the opportunities will come. I’ve also been pretty impressed with our backchecking. When we’ve allowed an odd man rush, we’ve done a good job of using our legs to get back into the play and help neutralize the threat.

Luongo looks real shaky. He’s going to keep us in the game. We just need to bench Whitney and Gleason and ride Suter/Rafalski/Orpik/EJ. I’m still waiting for Orpik to take himself out of the play throwing a big hit, but hopefully he waits a few days. And if anyone at CC wants to pump up Gleason, just ask if they watched the Olympics. He’s been brutal against the competition. Apparently he only plays well against AO.
Killer_Carlson and Steckel Me Elmo are like brothers to me. And when I say brothers I don't mean like actual brothers. I mean it like how black people use it, which is more meaningful, I think.
Hey, Gleason’s been better than Whitney.
Yeah, Luongo has not been their savior. Cash in on a couple of those big rebounds…really need someone like Backes or Kesler to park their ass in front the entire third period.

Both have been disappointing. Orpik looks like he’s more confident in his passes than those two and that should never happen.

I always thought he was better and certainly was a better passer. He’s an offensive d-man after all.

Nah, Gleason is a physical stay at home guy. He’s the poor man’s Komisarek. Orpik is a much better skater so that allows him to do more.
