Ossi Vaananen Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Only negative is that Murphy will get more minutes, and we lose one of our better defensive defensemen. Hate the idea of Murphy getting top 6 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dellins Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 LOL what a joke, so because of that he probably won't be on the team next year (unless it doesn't count?) Only in the WJHC is a 2 min high sticking penalty a 4 game suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avelanch Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 On a positive note its nice to see Boston Bruins' prospects struggling in big games. Still pissed that Canada lost but i felt a little better watching Malcolm Subban get pulled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Really wish we, as Canadians, could just suck up the loss and move on. Losing is bad enough, why make it worse by acting like such poor losers. Nobody complained about the tournaments format when Canada won five straight gold. In 2008 in Pardubice, Sweden beat Canada in the round robin, but Canada won gold in OT. Nobody from Sweden was up in arms, complaining that Sweden had scored more goals on aggregate. This is the format of the tournament, it isn't a surprise. It is the responsibility of the coach to prepare his players. This was not done. I will be cheering for Team USA. I like their approach to the game, they play fast and hard and get the job done with the skills they have. They don't have the RNH's or Huberdeau's or Scheiffle's, but they play to their strengths and do it with class. Good luck to those kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 When Canada was dominating, there was always a bona-fide shutdown dpair as the third pairing. Instead, Spott decided to go with Ryan Murphy, his own player, who is a poor man's Morgan Reilly (of course Reilly had already made the team, making Murphy redundant in the eyes of just about everyone).

ronthecivil Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Honestly, I thought Subban was quite average during WJC selection camp, and although I don't think he should have been cut, I am not sure he should have been the starter. There's no doubt he can play goal, but he had some real shaky moments in this tournament. Subban looks good when the Canada defense is playing well, but the true test of a goalie is whether or not he can make a big save during a moment of defensive weakness. There were times when the US defense broke down and Gibson bailed out his team, and looking back between the two games, Gibson had to make many more of the 'difficult' stops that Subban did. (Shot quantity doesn't always reflect shot quality) TSN loved to make a big deal out of Subban's play when Canada was winning, but to be honest, I thought he was just average. I think Canada would be in the same spot if Binnington had played those games. Honestly, I would have liked to have seen Brossoit between the pipes, he was the goalie they shouldn't have cut IMO. That said ,these are all tough choices, and it's easy to make the 'right' choice in hindsight. I think more people would have fun enjoying the tournament if they watched it for the great hockey as opposed to centering around only their country's team. If you don't take it too seriously, the WJC is a great tournament to watch every year no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 People are blaming Suban???? Canada spent that game in their own end. Had no jump whatsoever. I don't know if I saw a forechecking hit in the entire first period. Lots and lots of turnovers. It wouldn't matter who they put in net when you play that crappily in front of him!

hockeyville88 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Binnington gets the start over Subban tomorrow for the bronze medal game. Canada played a poor game in the semis. A few weak goals on Subban for sure, but the team in front of him didn't help him out at all. Wonder what kind of energy the Russians will have. They don't want to finish off the podium in front of their home fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Overall perhaps not, but they were the better team last night and that's all that matters. They were better than us when it counted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
