Standing_Tall#37 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 lol face it. Other hockey nations are getting better. Maybe Hockey Canada should send the top CHL team instead! (jokes). But really, just because you can stack a team doesn't necessarily mean that is the best team. It's something we need to remember for the Olympics.

Blackberries Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Maybe its time for an all year development program like USA has. CHL teams might not like it but it would make overall development better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El_Capitan Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 El Capitain? So let's finish this here then. Way to pull out a smidgeon of what someone's said and ignore all the rest. Or are some of these 3-4 syllable words too much for you? This is not "blaming the refs for the loss". So let's see some posts that you can drag out that prove your point? Your agenda is showing. I've been given a warning because you blamed the refs and I disagreed with you? My agenda, what are you talking about? So posters can't disagree with you because you moderate the forum? Good work. Here's a 3-4 syllable word for you, misfeasance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANUCKS FTW! Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Line up next game Drouin Horvat Mantha Reinhart Petan Lazar Mcdavid Laughton Hudon. Fourth line plugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Severson and Nurse should have been on the team. Same with Domi. Drouin is too sick. Yup he has a bad case of puck hog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking mama Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Finnish anthem does sound like a death dirge. As a Swedish-Finn - I'm still torn, but I'll pray for an epic game. Didn't get that today, obviously. But , maybe that'll happen in BOTH games, Sunday. Hej - to my family & friends attending the Gold Medal & Bronze Medal match-ups tommorrow. Hope you have cause to celebrate. I'll decide who I'm cheering for in the Gold Medal game once the puck drops. But for now - I'm mourning what I just witnessed.

Tortorella's Rant Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 It's something we need to remember for the Olympics. Just a miserable few years for the juniors all around. End of the gold streak, end of the medal streak, end of dominance over the Fins, I think that was Sutter's first regulation loss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANUCKS FTW! Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Today was pathetic. Our skill is good but every effing player tried to do it all on their own. Trying to go 1 on 4. Sutter needs to yell at them torterella style if they try that crap again. Horvat and Laughton were only guys trying to actually pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kabutar Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Canada has skill though. Tons of it. It just wasn't selected, or wasn't used properly, or is in the NHL We've won before on international surfaces. We just didn't play well today. AT ALL. Too many individuals, no effort, too many fancy passes. Hopefully this is a wakeup call for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Dont they play for bronze tomorrow? Yeah but I think they got jack sh.t last year? I can't remember.

Jaimito Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I don't think we are the favorite. We can ice a team that has the speed and talent to compete but they will have to play a different style of game than in the NHL if they want to win. IN Vancouver the USA and Canada were made up of teams who only play on the NA surface...both ended up in the finals. The European teams had players that play in the NHL but many come from the European leagues and struggle with the tight quarters of the smaller rink. IN Sochi, advantage Europeans! That's a myth. 1998 team Canada was flying, ran into a hot goalie and lost in shootout. Nothing to do with big ice. 2002 is hybrid big ice, Canada won gold. 2006 they picked the wrong players who were not hot. Bertuzzi instead of Crosby or staal? 2010 was NHL ice. 1972 series was in big ice in USSR, Canada was 3-1 there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gross-Misconduct Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 They do, but they came 4th last year. The medal streak ended then Ah. And they can lose tommorow which makes it 2 consecutive tourneys w/o a medal. Not a good look for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANUCKS FTW! Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 If you think about it having Domi on the team would not have mattered because he would probably be doing the same sh!t as the other guys by trying to cut in all by himself. Sutter needs to STOP that. It's a coach's job to prevent that. Yell at them, heck even bench them if they keep trying that sh!t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
