irv Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 (edited) Going to be a chippy game before this one is over! Detest the Russians and their showboating/fistpumping after a goal. Hope Canada puts it to them!! Edited December 27, 2016 by irv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First gamer jitters, maybe, but I bet the backup goalie gets the nod for the next game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted December 30, 2016 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted December 30, 2016 Afternoon game again this year. I preferred when they played in the evening. We watched a couple of those games in the bar at The Keg. Made for great New Years as they crowd got into it.

I haven't watched the U.S. yet but I have heard they have a solid team. On paper, I'd say they are the favorites but usually that just fires up the opposing team. I don't Canada's squad is as strong as years past, but they are currently proving that wrong. This will be a huge test for both squads with hopefully Canada prevailing but I think this game might be decided on who gets the bounces, and like you said, who can stay out of the box! Going to be a great game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted December 31, 2016 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted December 31, 2016 Good grief. 2 powerplays goals for the Americans. Canada has yet to put a puck on net. They better get their shit together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U.S. is big and strong but Canada is again, looking for the perfect pass instead of just shooting the puck. Frustrates the hell out of me as most of those passes get intercepted and the opportunity is once again wasted!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted December 31, 2016 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted December 31, 2016 The stop on the breakaway looked great until they showed the replay and you realize the goaltender never moved. The puck went straight into the glove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The puck went straight into the glove. That happens a lot, even in the NHL. The goalie tries to make himself as big as possible by throwing his big/wide glove up there and sometimes they get lucky and the puck goes in the glove. Watch some of the highlight reels and you will see this quite often. 1 minute ago, Sksman said: Big hole to climb out of. Down 2 and on a penalty kill. Next 2 mins will tell story They are playing better, imo, but a big hole for sure. They need one soon to stand a chance. Their loss of their big player isn't helping though.
