balefired-ed Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 That was great fun to watch this morning. I was getting worried for a while as in the third period Sweden really had the US on its heels from about 10:00 to 15:00.One thing I have been noticing is that the quality of goaltending in the USA seems to have dramatically improved over the last 10-15 years.

kairparavel Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 And so it begins.The Canada game started as we were flying out of Ottawa. I really have no idea who is on the or who to watch but will be up to speed for the next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabronius Maximus Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Took a 3 week vacation so I could watch this tournament and get my sleep. Canada better win this. Expected result against Germany, and it's pretty obvious goaltending won't be a reason Canada wins (if they do). And man Anthony Mantha is AWESOME. The Wings got a steal taking him 20th overall.

kairparavel Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Thisgame vs CR is the only one I'll be able to see Canada play in until (theoretically) the semis next weekend. So stressful. Telling that Canada hasn't been able to score even-strength (though a short-hander is totes sweet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kairparavel Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 So much rollercoaster. I thought that stupid too many men call was totally going to sink them. But so much time left in this not so much goaltending battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabronius Maximus Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Man the US manhandled CR, and Slovakia thrashed Germany yesterday...Canada really has a lot of room to improve, or theyll be headed home quite early. God damn this is so stressful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kairparavel Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Even if we win, I *still* hate shoot-outs. DAMNIT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabronius Maximus Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 GOD DAMNIT. A shootout win would've been only 2 points anyway. Man that was a slick move. First round robin loss for Canada in 3 years, and the first loss for Brent Sutter as WJC coach ever. This does not look good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabronius Maximus Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Can someone update the year of the thread title? I think we're 2 years behind. The 2012 tourney was here in Edmonton, and it was great fun (except for the boring 1-0 final). Miss those days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabronius Maximus Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 GREAT performance by Fucale against the US. I was thoroughly surprised at how well the boys played. Canada looks like they just might bumble and stumble their way to the gold medal game (like they often do). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sis Who Swears Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 FU-CA-LE! FU-CA-LE! Really excited for this game. Hope my heart can handle it. :PGO CANADA GO!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabronius Maximus Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 And the US has been knocked out as well?!? I gotta say, it was a good day. (Well actually I dunno, since Russia usually owns Canada and the US games are usually great) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brynden rivers cuomo Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 As much as I want Canada to take this, I don't see anyone knocking off Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabronius Maximus Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Looks like they won't even get past Finland...(Finland is a very solid team anyway).Hopefully there's a comeback left in these guys...Edit: well, that'll do it. Onto the bronze game :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
