I think Canucklehead666 previewed this game quite well below. Are the Americans underdogs? Whatever motivates them. Canada has to find it within themselves to show more intensity and passion in their game. I think the Swiss "close call" was a wake up call. If it wasn't, the Americans are going to win this one.
I like the youth on the U.S. team, not going to lie. But Canada has a great balance of both youth and experience that they need to utilize. Time to find some guts and groove Canada. Pressure's on!
Hang out here game time or at SBN Headquarters. I'll be bouncing back and forth.
Go Canada Go!

predictions? Am i too late?
5-2 Canada.
Rockin (Canucks) white (25th anniversary patch). COME ON, KESLER! LUUUU SUCKS.
i’m only here cause a friend bailed on watching the game with me at a bar. That and San Jose has about 3 hockey bars in 100 sq miles.
So i figured i’d come get trashed and trashed on at my favorite team’s blog.
Canada sucks. (for the next 8 days)

Clearly she picks the bat-ball loving boyfriend over an awesome sport and person like myself. she’s clearly in the wrong, but she’s a cool girl (and you bet your ass i’d try to be the rebound guy if it ever became an option)

Man…our skaters have really been losing it at the ends. Congrats to groves tho!
Interesting stat I heard this morning…USA had 32 top 5 finishes this olympics as of last night, and Canada had 24. But USA has like 3028 medals, and we have 8.
Kesler would be your happy medium. The Canuckamerican.

if kesler doesn’t resign, then i’ll be glad i didn’t get his name on my last canucks jersey.
…and give me further evidence that players on the back of teams jerseys are a bad investment unless its someone like Linden or Bure or Smyl or McLean, legends of the team.

I am terrified of our goaltending tho. Lou’s been pretty average this season, brodeur too, and the third choice has been less than average.
Nah…Lou will play against Germany and I think he’s going to take over the #1 job
by Sean Zandberg on Feb 21, 2010 7:00 PM PST up reply actions
You know, if luongo ends up standing on his head for this tournament, the emotional boost will probably take him pretty deep into the post-season…like as deep as possible.
I know! We win either way in that scenario!

At least it’s the Canucks players that are stepping up. Kesler with the dagger tonight. Demitra with a SO winner over Russia. Now if only Salo gets a game winner or one of the Sedins.

I noticed something...

oh its all gone quiet

its all gone quiet over here!
There are two reasons we lost this game: Ryan Miller and Martin Brodeur.
Luongo better play next game. Brodeur was beyond brutal…
At least we still have a pretty good chance to at least earn a medal – Germany and then Russia (who for some reason still suck) and then we’re on to a top-4 finish.
Great game, not the ending we wanted, but if you ignore the score, this has got to be the most comprehensive, most complete effort by the team so far.
If we can move forward with this type of effort, or continue to improve on our play, we’ll definitely get past the Germans. Then, it’s one game take all.
I’m hoping Luongo gets the next game as well. Babcock is known to go with the hot hand, and not worry about past experiences. I say he’d make the call for Luongo as well, perhaps with Fleury backing him up even.

I’ve got to admit, I’m not a Brodeur fan and I’m a huge Luongo fan. Actually the main reason I’m a member here is because I’m a Luongo fan. But I thought all along Canada was making the wrong move going with an Over Player Over Worked 39 year old Brodeur ahead of an in his prime Luongo. I mean when are you finally going to let Luongo start? In another 4 years?
"Martin is psychical" - In reference to Matt Martin being called up to the Islanders.
Wikipedia Fail
On February 21st, 2010 Martin Brodeur died of a stroke during the opening 30 seconds of the Canada vs. USA Olympics hockey game. His death was not immediately noticed, and his corpse was allowed to stay in net for the remainder of the game!
Bigger version here. It’s prolly gone now.

Just got in from BP. My thoughts:
-Brodeur was awful for his standards. He tried to do too much and ended up out of position a bunch of times. USA was smart with getting on him quickly if he came out to play the puck, which was often.
-Miller was incredible and the main reason why they won IMO.
-Doughty impressed me with his poise, the kid is a stud.
-Kesler probably scored the best empty net goal ever. Perry was asleep on that one, why was he on the ice anyways?
-Way too many stupid penalties by Canada.
-USA did a pretty good job of jamming up the middle of the ice and forcing everything to the outside.
-I’d say Canada owned about 45-50 minutes of the game and arguably deserved to win more than USA.
I think they have to go with Luongo for the next game, Brodeur has not impressed me as a whole.
Poutine & Meatballs
just got to my place after being on a greyhound bus for 6 hours, and being disconnected from the world for 8.
reading through all your comments, it sounds like canada shit the bed. did i not call for luongo to be starter when brodeur let in that 1st goal against the SWISS???
well, a matchup with germany for qualifications couldn’t be too bad, but the quarterfinal matchup with russia could get interesting…. too bad that couldn’t wait til the gold medal match though…..

Hey, IMO we all jump on Brodeur now, but the guy is the shit. He had an off game..yeah so what? He’s a pro. He rarely shits the bed twice in a row. Playing him was the right choice
I agree. I just think he’s in a slump right now. He was like what 4-12 or something in his last 16 coming into the tournament. Luongo was like 12-5 coming in. I think you have to go with Brodeur now.
Lord knows Lu’s had some games like this. The game dynamic kinda reminded me of some Nuck games. Behind early on meh-schmeh goals, strong second period, outshooting but tough time scoring, and an abundance of sucky penalties.
