The Phil is good.
The Phil is great.

On a related note, Dave who? Kulemin's been fantastic at centre.

Agreed he's been great at distributing and we already know about his defensive awareness. Literally his only weakness has been faceoffs.

Kessel!

 

[drummond]

unbelievable shot

 

[ZBBM]

Tape that because you'll see it again in Sochi.  JVR with the obstruction.

Yeah he struggled in the first game but he's 6 for 13 tonight which isn't awful.

Kessel!

He is arguably most versatile forward, Leafs would be foolish to trade him away

yes, and bodie is doing lots of good work

Bodie skates well and works hard.  He uses his size to his advantage and makes it harder for the opposing team to gain position.  I really enjoy the style of hockey he plays.

I don't even see what's arguable about it. Can play either wing at ease. So far so good at centre. Can play offence or defence. Kills penalties and has had success on the powerplay when given the chance.

edit: I guess JVR would give him a run for his money.

 

[ZBBM]

Bozak gets cred for a nice backcheck on the VAN possession before the goal.

 

[Arn]

I really like that Winter classic jersey. Shame they're not going to make more use of it.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

JVR

 

[princedpw]

Great goal.  On a different topic:

Commentators:  "One-shot Phil:  He doesn't need many shots to score."

... This is very far from the truth.  He's got the 3rd most shots in the league.  He shoots a lot.

 

[ZBBM]

USA!  USA!  USA!

 

[lc9]

Raymond just refused to pass it to Kessel there. 

JVR SCORES!!!  3-1.  Kessel with an assist there, another 2 point game.

[bustaheims]

When this line is on, they really are unstoppable.

 

[Sanecow]

When they are good, they are very, very good.

 

[L K]

Luongo has been really good tonight.  He's been on his game.

Canada has no goaltending going to the Olympics.
