Probably should make Price actually have to try to make these saves.

If Canada scores on this PP it's over.

It's like the US strategy is to bomb the puck at Price as soon as they enter the zone with no setup or waiting for other guys to collect rebounds.

We are Canada's bitch for hockey. I'm fine with that, they do absolutely nothing better beyond ice fishing better than we do.

US never seemed like they had a chance in this game. Canucks dominated from start to finish.

Just from checking on Twitter, it seemed like US played passive in the "hope they make a mistake" way (ie: the USA in the World Cup whenever they play a legit soccer power).se-alum;1583173 wrote:US never seemed like they had a chance in this game. Canucks dominated from start to finish.
One of those things I don't understand. Yeah, Canada has a ton of scoring talent, but it's not like they've been this well-oiled scoring machine in reality through the Olympics so far. Play your game and your style and if you lose, you lose. That'd be better than losing because you played weak and lost because the opponents were able to get one through.

Definitely passive. Terrible game offensively.

You'll never win making passes. As far as i know they don't count towards the score.Classyposter58;1583175 wrote:Just couldn't make enough passes to win

Correct. They stretch out the defense to allow for easier opportunities to punch one in however. Canada was just able to sit in the slot and make the US take wide angles for almost everything. Kind of a boring game as both teams were very conservativeRaw Dawgin' it;1583182 wrote:You'll never win making passes. As far as i know they don't count towards the score.

Wasn't style of play, it was execution. The U.S. was outplayed. It's really that simple.

Finland scores two in 25 seconds. It's 2-0 with 17 mins left in the 2nd, looks like we got cold when it mattered most. These guys are playing like it's a video game, just possessing and trying to win by passing the puck. Just poor passing with everyone trying to do too much

Another penalty shot for Kane, another miss. He sucks right now.

I said it when they announced the roster, this team wouldn't make the medal round.
I don't want Brian Burke putting a Team USA roster together anymore.

As usual, you focus on minutia while the main reason the game turned out how it did escapes your grasp.Classyposter58;1583343 wrote:Finland scores two in 25 seconds.
