Thought 21 Eric Staal-87 Sidney Crosby-12 Jarome Iginla (A) was the first line, not second?

Should be a good one though. It will be really interesting to see what happens if Canada falls behind at all. I doubt they will, but the pressure could really start to get them then.

I expect the Canucks to win, but see it more like a 3-1 game.
BTW, Why is there not a more serious debate on Fleury ahead of Luongo?

^^^^Fleury hasn't been that good the past month with the Pens, maybe that has to play in?

I dunno if it's true in the Olympics or not, but w/ Canada as the home team they may be playing a little line-matching game as they get to switch after the Germans do. So yeah, Staal-Crosby-Iginla is in essence the #1 line, but not on the lineup sheet.

True, I just know Luongo's big game record isn't exactly great.

Idk what is. He's never gone past the second round of the playoffs though.

Anyone watching, what's going on in this one? Does Canada really have only two shots? I literally figured they'd be up 2-0 in the first 5 minutes of this game, are they sluggish, out of it, or what?

Up four goals, Babcock should let the player who earned the penalty shot take it.

Not too surprising at all. Now the real challenge comes with Russia. That will be a great game, hopefully.

Anyone see that goal that went THROUGH the net? I didnt watch a whole lot more after that as they soon made it 3-0.

I believe I know the answer....but correct me im wrong. They do wait til a break to review it which is good. If there is another goal scored between that time does that goal still count? I think it does..just want clarification
