again, this is team Canada we are talking about here, when you are adding an 18 year old junior to your top 6 it really shows me the lack of overall talent the squad has.

Murray is a good kid, but with the amount of depth and talent you have he should not even get a sniff here. He is a solid player, but I am really confused by his addition as I dont think he will be that elite of a player in the NHL..or right now in this tournament.

Oh I agree on Murray. He wasn't brought in because he was the best player available, that's for certain. I am guessing that they just wanted to give a very highly touted defensive prospect some exposure with the senior team, but it is a somewhat baffling decision. Still, the plan was not for him to actually play, but injuries to Methot and Subban have forced him into action. He's still only a year younger than Faulk, so I don't think there is much point in bringing it up as a big issue, and I am aware that Faulk has actually played in the NHL.

He is not. Canada's d-pairings today:

Methot - Phaneuf
Vlasic - Bouwmeester
Keith - Schenn
(Murray)

On offense, Kane has been moved to RNH and Eberle.

[luongo321]

Hoping for an exciting game. Don't disappoint!

[SenorDingDong]

Rumored to be in the Team Canada locker room.

I thought Methot was still out with a groin "issue"?

It's surprisingly good. I was certain it would be like the GER-ITA game. 196€ for the lower levels is a killer.

And wooo US scores!

[Muminek]

Jesus, Ward . Well, there was some traffic.

[UsernameWasTaken]

lol...that didn't take long

[Haite]

That wasn't slow.

[TonsofPuppies]

LOL. Typical Canadian goaltending. Go **** yourself Ward, you ****ing piece of dog ****.

Anyone else want to question me about our goaltending today?

[Insta]

wtf I thought Dubnyk was getting the start? Why is Ward in? He sucks.

[BLBarmada]

Horrible just horrible..

[Hammer Slammer]

Damnit, Jim!

[Jrtu]

Damn, one of the play-by-play guys has a really thick accent.
It's almost as bad as Cam Ward's start to the game.

[fahad203]

Ward didn't look good there.

One thing I notice is US Defence is very mobile and designed for this kind of games

[SenorDingDong]

Put Dubnyk in.

Wards confidence is gone after that goal.

[KevyD]

Canada motto in international hockey for years and years to come...

"A goalie, a goalie, my kingdom for a goalie"

[UsernameWasTaken]

it feels strange watching them on the euro-sized rink when you're so used to watching NHL hockey.

The game looks so different.

[Thricecube]

Anyone know if Burrows is playing?

Phenuef chasing a player. Where did I hear that before?

US looks more organized and having more sharp passes
