By the letter of the rule, shoulda been hitting from behind but the Canadian refs are afraid to call anything that gives us an advantage. I'm fine with boarding but our power play sucked on that one.

Team Canada's PP seemed to suck most of the olympics? I think instead of cycling the players early in the third let the top unit out for most of it and keep the pressure and try and score.

My not so bold prediction for the 3rd. Marty St. Louis scores the insurance goal and Price shuts the door the rest of the way for a 3-0 win and Gold. :suds:

TSNDaveHodge: Doughty altered his pants? Will Sweden appeal?

Yeah, Sweden had good positioning on the PK but too many passes too, imo. Sometimes you just have to fire the puck at the net despite it being Lundqvist back there.

Very true and just continue to crash the net.

Sweden's defense is gassed. We are getting wrap-around chances like crazy. Our fore check and cycle is awesome right now.

That's the first non western conference goal by a member of team Canada.

If they do get to the point with an empty net I would love to see St. Louis put the exclamation point on it.
