Don't Take Slovakia Lightly: Canada vs Slovakia Game Thread

Slovakia (4-1)
Canada (4-1)

AT

Time 6:30 PST
TV CTV
Slovakia Category Canada
17 Goals For 29
10
Goals Against 12
7
Power Play Goals 6

Demitra: 2-5-7

Hossa: 2-5-7

Leading Scorer

Heatley: 4-3-7

Toews: 0-7-7

Halak 92.31%
Goalie Save Percentage
Luongo 92.42%

Here's a matchup nearly no one expected to see at this stage of the Men's Hockey Tournament. Pavol Demitra scored a goal and 2 assists while Marian Hossa had 3 assists as the Slovaks stunned the world with a 4-3 victory over powerhouse Sweden on Wednesday night. The Slovaks had also edged the Russians 2-1 back on February 19. They are not to be taken lightly. More after the jump..

Star-divide

It's strange seeing guys like Ziggy Palffy and Jozef Stumpel playing again on North American ice. These guys can still get the job done. Alas, no "Special Agent" Peter Bondra out there anymore.

All Canada has to do is come out with the same intensity that they showed against the Germans and Russians and they shouldn't have too many problems winning this one. Is Halak ready to put in a Ryan Miller performance? He's going to have to do that or the Slovaks don't have a chance.

-I think the team looks good in front of Luongo, and more comfortable.

-When guys like Nash, Getzlaf and Perry start rolling, opposing teams are in trouble.

-Canada has an edge in the physical department. Crash and bang! Just don't hurt Demo too badly. We need him.

-The Slovaks have scored one more power play goal than Canada has. There's no use giving taking too many penalties against them.

-Speaking of Demitra...wow, is he a big story in Olympics Men's Hockey this year or what? He made the Sedins look like Hansel and Gretel.

A loss to Slovakia would be a huge let down for Canada. I just can't see it happening.

Hopefully by the time this thread is posted the Fins will have beaten Team America.

Alright here are a few clips for ya:

Check out scenic Slovakia (with their anthem playing in the background). Nice digs!

Hey, I can appreciate this...Slovakia's Got Talent indeed!

Slovakians do love hockey, as you can tell from this clip from 2002 when the beat the Russians.

Alright enough of the nice stuff. Go Canada go! Wreck these guys!

Your going to need to back that up…have they been DSQ’d more than any other nation? Are they known cheaters? Can you argue against the fact that if you aren’t fighting your hardest you are doing a disservice to the spirit of the Olympics?

Really? Marty would have/may have crumbled under that pressure probably…that Gumby save at the end was vintage Luongo.

Though…you may have a bit of a point…he did leave his post early to let in that crappy 3-1 goal.

i had to look at that last save in super slo mo too because at normal speed it looks like demitra just missed. but you can clearly see in super slo mo that louie got a piece of it.

really important moment for louie considering he let in the stinker that got slovakia back in the game. that ridiculous save at the end should make up for it though

“Pavol Demitra’s miss with an empty net in front of him was the closest Slovakia could come to an equalizer in a furious final few seconds, Mike Richards and Drew Doughty sprawling to block a pair of blasts bound for goal.Goalie Roberto Luongo said he got a piece of the last shot by Demitra that would have tied up the game forcing an overtime.” – Toronto Star

Demo, Luongo, Doughty, Pang, McKenzie etc etc etc all said it was a save. Why is the Toronto Star not willing to say it as well? I wonder if there is some sort of bias at work?

another hit piece on luongo by a reporter who didn’t bother watching the video replay of that last save

you guys really gotta read this garbage; among the gems in it:

Slovakia’s Pavol Demitra missing on a last-second golden opportunity
and instantly all the goaltending questions were back whispering. Is Luongo the one? Or should the team go back to Martin Brodeur, who fell to the Americans? Or untried Marc-Andre Fleury, hero of last spring’s Stanley Cup?

Should we really be surprised that T.O-centric hacks like this G&M writer…or the Star hacks…want to puff themselves up and write crap?

Fuck em. Luongo is by far the better goalie right now.

The way he came back from letting in that one soft goal was great.

It always makes me laugh when COTU guys can’t put aside their regional hatreds …but again….

It’s them that have to look at their poor ugly mugs in the mirror every morning.

Good luck with getting any access to the dressing room after the celebration ( we hope !) on Sunday Roy…

Makes sense to me.

Out of the 3 goalies on Team Canada, Kane has had the most success against Luongo. What needs to be pointed out to him is that he won’t be playing against the rest of the ‘Nucks and shots won’t be easy to come by.

Just got in not long ago from the game.

It was a great one obviously. Not as dominant as the rest of the tourney but I’d equate that to the Slovaks being pretty damn good. They certainly made it interesting in the 3rd period.

Disagree. The Finns hemmed up the US in their zone for the first 2 minutes of the game. Unfortunately, Kipper channels Brodeur, and fails, and the Finns fold like a cheap suit. Canada’s only fail against the US in the first game was shoddy goaltending. Nothing more.

Slovakia isn’t really a rival of Canada so they didn’t come out destroying them. Russia is a huge rival and Canada came out flying in that game. USA is another rival so I expect more of the same from the Russia game. Halak played well all tournament so to get 3 on him is a pretty good feat.
