Men's Olympic hockey

Has Hamhuis played a second today? Why not have Subban there just for powerplays?

Ah well.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

for once in  my life, I'm smiling at Kessel getting a penalty.

He'll never backcheck again.

 

[Derk]

If the US comes back and wins this game, I am going to have my finger pointed at Mr. Kunitz. Two more missed chances.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Even Crosby isn't trusting Kunitz anymore.

 

[barney_rebel]

We rule man!

 

[Derk]

Tight finish, but we will be there on Sunday. ;D

 

[Stebro]

So we meet again 8)

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Awwww yeah

3 goals allowed all tournament.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Certainly did not expect to shutout the US.

 

[Beowulf]

It was close to domination everywhere but the scoreboard.

 

[Stebro]

Weak effort by Team USA imo, they played well the first 5 mins of the game, had a minute here and there, but Canada probably controlled the game for like 45-50 minutes.

 

[YYZ]

So gold is pretty much in Canada's pocket.

 

[Nik]

That was closer than I'd have liked.

 

[Redleaf]

How long can the Canadian defense hold the Americans off the scoreboard?

60 minutes?  8)

Yes. Yes. Yes. So defense does win championships?

Hopefully pull off the win over Sweden. I suspect they will play another tight defensive game on Sunday.

 

[Stebro]

So Price+Doughty vs Lundqvist and Karlsson. Should be interesting.

It'll also be about which country will have the most olympic gold medals in the NHL era. Sweden wins and it's 2 apiece. Canada wins and it's 3 for 5.

For a Leafs fans perspective, I thought Kessel was pretty dangerous all game.  He set up Carlson real early on and Price made maybe the best save of the game on it.

Kessel and Kane were really the only dangerous US players.

From Stephen Harper..

Like I said, #teamusa is good but #wearewinter. @BarackObama, I look forward to my two cases of beer. #CANvsUSA #Sochi2014

From Strombone1...

JESUS PRICE!!!!

I think it's safe to say, the mantle has been passed over to Carey Price.

Parise had a few good chances as well.
