lol....
The Swedes are complaining, saying "Ersberg had it"

anyways, 2-1 of Canada after 1
Tavares / Neal.

Spezza is being special again today so far.
that line is really heating up (with Nash / Neal)

Bernier had a Ranford-esque save in the period
(diving across with the paddle down)

PP needs to heat up for Canada (7th coming into today's game and 0-for-2 today).

/Thanks Dave Randorf

Edit: 0-for-3 now

Some Swedish cheese just snuck by Bernier courtesy of Mattias Tedenby.

2-2

 

[puckhead]

Tenedby draws penalty (the famed 'chickenwing' on tavares)
then scores the powerplay goal to tie it up 2-2
Bernier caught cheating off the post.


Nash with a crossbar moments later.

Game is starting to get a little nasty, Cal Buttercup in the middle of it.

sorry to chuck this in and break up the game flow

but it was Pavol Demitras last game for Slovakia today ... its a shame he could never play for club with the same passion he played for country ... nice moment on home ice none the less ... Slovak fans loved the guy

waterworks start at 0:55 minute mark

Nash is an unholy beast.
and backlund is his breakfast.

not sure why that's a penalty.

Nash just obliterated Backlund (why Rick?)

IIHF officials are pretty picky on those hits (and it was a tad late)

Nice to see Backlund get right up and skate off (if he stays down on the ice and embellishes, I bet Nash gets thrown out of the game).

I just got off the phone with Colie.... The trolley tracks are indeed, a "hitting zone"

The winner of this game gets Russia, the loser gets Germany...Call me crazy, but maybe Canada should pull an Oilers in the 3rd period.

powerplay finally arrived.
1 for 6 now.

Burns with the shot, Nash with the traffic.
3-2 good guys, about 7 min left

Shouldn't that be Wellwood, er Winwood (Steve) with Traffic.

/Go Canada Go!

there's a Dear Mr Fantasy joke in there somewhere.
ba-da-duhn-daaa-da-dum


anyways. Canada wins. yay.

 

[dash]

I guess that means Mother Russia next...Time to send those commie bastiges packing.

/Just a joke to all those Russian sympathizers out there...

Backlund and Erixon both looks like they'll be very good for the Flames Dash in the coming years.

Yeah, I like the development of both guys thus far, and Max Reinhart is tearing it up for Kootenay in the WHL playoffs. Ryan Howse had a great season with Chilliwack as well.

If only Iggy can drink some Lidstrom juice...

That stuff only works on D-Men.

How about we give you Gonchar for Iggy?

That's not enough for Gonchar, I'm throwing in Stajan as well...
