Barney says: " their coffee is really good ! "

I won't hold my breath.
So by the US winning last night, they said it would make an easier path to the Gold medal, how so?

1st of all, if Canada beats Germany, they will face Russia in the 1/4.

The beauty of this year's olympics is that USA, Slovakia and the Czech Republic have all proven to be more than legit.

Canada isn't done. They're still too deep and talented to bow out yet, at least not to Germany. The Canada/Russia game will be a war.
I think Canada's problem may be having too much talent and not enough role players. I'm not nearly as well versed in hockey as many of you are so I could be wrong, but a few of those Canadian lines seem to under-perform every time out there, chiefly the Sharks heavy line (although Heatley has been very good). Thornton and Marleaux have sucked, IMO. Maybe the Canadian coach should play less guys and focus more on the combinations that work?
Also, Brodeur should be benched.
You may not claim to know much about hockey, but you nailed Canada's problem.
Put Rick Nash on a line with Crosby and Iginla, and he'll try to get the puck to them for a nice touch goal every time down the ice.
Put Rick Nash on a line with Ryan Callahan and Chris Drury and he will be shooting the moment he gets over the blueline.
They play like an All Star team. Too many people trying not be selfish, hog the puck or do too much.
The entire Canadian roster is used to being THE guy their team(s) count on. The guy who always shoots, is always getting open to receive a pass, always looked at as an example.
Not the case in a short tournament like the Olympics. You need a playmaker, a finisher and a grinder (so to speak, anyway). All they really have is finishers who cant finish right now. Joe Thornton is their main playmaker and he is a career choke artist. Crosby would be their second playmaker...he was on the ice for 3 even-strength goals against. He ended the night -3, with a goal on the PP late.
Brodeur did the team no favors, but he didnt lose the game for the Canucks.
Miller, obviously, was the best player on the ice. But he didnt score 5 goals for the Americans and Brodeur did not let in 5 bad goals. The vets on the team really stepped up for the Americans (Langenbrunner, Drury, Rafalski..even Miller), whereas Canada's best players were under-25 yr old defensemen (Keith and Doughty).
When the game matters and the pressure is on, you want your vets leading the charge. Thats how history was written, thats how every military ever does it, thats how sport teams do it. It doesnt mean they score or win the game, it means they lead the charge...show the example of poise under pressure, heady plays and determination.
Thats what Drury did winning key faceoffs and killing those late powerplays in a penalty kill role. Active stick, lots of movement and anticipation, good reads and never leaving the late man open. Scored a key goal.
Thats what Langenbrunner did all damn game. Getting physical, clearing pucks, relieving the relentless Canadian pressure at key times and scoring a "off the skate" goal.
Rafalski needs no explanation. I dont what the happened to the Rafalski that left Detroit to go play in Vancouver, but please do not send that Rafalski back. I'll take the one playing right now, thanks. He has been the American's best player...he might be the best player in the tournament so far.
This is what I am talking about. Rafalski is (literally) the gray beard of this American team. People, like me, thought he would play a small part, that this is a transition year for American hockey, leaving all the vets behind (Modano, Hull, Tkachuk, Hatcher, Richter, etc) and going with a youth movement.
Rafalski steps up and is having the tournament of his life. His swan song on the international stage, if you will. This guy is playing excellent defense and he is scoring goals at a clip no one but Alex Ovechkin can keep pace with...as a defensemen.
You want your veterans leading the charge. The American vets are doing that. One might argue the Canadian vets are the biggest liabilities to the team.
Pronger, Neidermeyerererer, Brodeur, Thornton (i actually think Thornton has been pretty good, but being beat like a by Brian Rafalski has me including him)...these are Canada's culprits, and they are their vets.
Obviously, I am stoked the Americans won the game and even more stoked that they finished #1 overall heading into the elimination round (thanks Sweden!). Its a welcome surprise but really, it doesnt mean unless they medal.
Moreover, Canada could easily pull their together overnight. they have so much talent and so much leadership..so many championships up and down that roster....
Honestly, I'll be shocked if Canada doesnt pull it together and get to the gold medal game.
Because really, the Canadians outplayed the Americans overall. At no point in that game did the Americans "dominate" play for longer than one shift. Whereas the Canadians would go minutes of total, epic domination. Looked like a goddamn powerplay out there 5-on-5 most of the time. ing Canucks...
Just a great, great game. One of the best games I have ever seen...tremendous end-to-end hockey.
If you dont like hockey, or have never given it a chance, I implore you to watch this tournament. There is no finer example in the universe of this beautiful sport.
Hockey is best played in the Olympics. I don't care much for NHL except for a playoff round or two every year, but the Olympics are great Hockey. I'm actually glad the olympics are geared more to women and that the hockey is on Msnbc. That means not much commercial interruption and a great, clean telecast with hockey but not all the extra marketing bull .
Love me some DR - excellent and informative post as usual.
This tournament has been a blast to watch, and will very likely cause me to start paying a lot more attention to the NHL. I think that many other Americans will as well. Some of the rules changes have made the NHL game a lot more exciting, and their (NHLs) refusal to tone down or eliminate the fighting means it will continue to be one of the most brutal games on the planet. It's fantastic to watch in person (to me, second only to world-class level soccer) and with the advent of HD is now almost as good to watch on TV.
As for the American team, I think those guys are saying the right things and seem to have the proper mentality to make a deep run. They realize it was just the beginning of what will be a minefield of outstanding teams along the road to a potential medal. It's great to see these young guys playing physical, scrappy, and fearless hockey.
I like how some of the US players mentioned the 1960 team, as well as the 1980 team. Great to know that these young guys are aware of their history.
IMO, the team that's the most fun to watch is the Russians. Relentless is the term I would use to describe them. And what about Ovechkin murdering Jagr? Good stuff! I really think the Russians will win it all, but it would be sweet if it could be a USA/Russia GM game, with the US pulling it out.
In agreement. MSNBC has done a good job, which really can't be said for the rest of NBCs horrible, tape-delayed coverage.
The tape delay stuff isn't so bad where I am now, but when I was still in Cali it was absolutely horrendous. I would have to avoid anything that might tell me who won medals so it wouldn't spoil my prime-time viewing. NBC almost can't get anything right, which is a shame because this has been one of the best WO's in memory (IMO)
Dude, what happened to Iginla? Was it that long ago that the guy played like on wheels? He isn't the same guy I remember from those playoff battles a few years ago. He's playing like a watered down Heatley IMO.
As for the playmaker, finisher and mucker comment it's spot on. Toews, Morrow and Heatley I think only played a shift together and it produced excellent cycling that resulted in a goal.
Weber, Keith and Doughty played extremely well last night. Their forwards staying to the outside on the D point shots helped Miller. That wasn't a terribly difficult 40+ save night for Miller. Canada made it easy on him and as a RW fan I've seen that game at least 50 times in the last 15 years.
And DR, are you enjoying the HF meltdown as much as I am?
I was perfectly willing to miss every Olympic hockey game...before I read this post. Seriously, there's no way I can miss these games now after seeing this kind of passion
I loved the 1960 replica jerseys that the US team was wearing.
Canada probably feels embarrassed about losing to America. Their roster is stacked with some of hockey's best players. They have freakin' Brodeur as one of their goalies going up against Ryan Miller. I give props to Miller. He's played great.
The problem with Canada?
Lack of speed; especially against Euro teams.
Yzerman and Bab wanted a big, intimidating team, but this isn't the NHL.
They didn't select Phaneuf because he takes too many penalties; well, guess what, Pronger has taken 2 dumb penalties in the tournament so far: an unnecessary elbow and a WTF crosscheck
Lindy Ruff wanted smaller, faster skaters, like Martin St-Louis and Steve Stamkos, but he is just the assistant coach
, Ruff >>>>>>>>>>>> Yzerman+Babycok
usa has a solid chance of winning depending on how the elite teams beat each other up, they are on cruise control to the gold medal round
Steven stamkos should have been on the team !
I don't know why, but I can't get into Women's Hockey. Sorry.
I would like to see a chicks hockey fight though.
But go Team USA....they play Canada for the Gold?
Yes he should have been thereSteven stamkos should have been on the team !
LOL Yzerman
LOL Bab
REd Wings fail (sorry Darkreign
