exactly this.

look where carter scored from

3 goals and i dont think the puck traveled 10 feet off his stick combined.

players are hanging onto the puck too long so that the guys like nash dont actually get to do much standing in front of the net.

but hockey is nothing more than individual efforts i guess... at least thats how it feels around here some days

Individual efforts is what creates opportunities, then it takes team play to finish (mostly).

Exactly right about Carter, even Doughtys goals were up in front.

EVERY OTHER COUNTRY has 6+ guys 6 feet or under. Canada only has 4, Crosby duchene st louis and one more i forget.

All the Euro teams are collapsing. Either use our size and drive to the net and blow through them. Or suck the forwards in and throw it back to the D for a shot and rebound.

Either way, they need to get to the middle. We should all know this as Leaf fans keeping teams to the outside for low % shots

Nash's mediocrity is unhealthy for Canada.

simple game plan:

GO TO THE NET

cut the ice time of anyone who doesnt.. i mean ffs.. canada's 4th line is a first line so babcock can get away with a couple benchings

they are.. i call them the GAPs.. a lot of them at HB

since they cannot seem to understand anything past the Goal Assist and Points columns

the good ol GAPs.. the lot of them

oddly a good descriptor for what lies between their ears as well

Right, anyone that has a different opinion than you is stupid, might be the same reason as to why many don't post here during the day while you are here. Just because the insult isn't directed at a single person, its still an insult. Keep up the good work.

So Kessel is doing well at the Olympics eh?

Now WTF are people going to have to complain about him?

Unless he completely falls off the earth from here on in.

SUCKS DEFENSIVELY. TERRIBLE BACK CHECKING AND DOESNT USE HIS BODY.

IF HE CAN'T SCORE HES USELESS.

AND HES ONLY GOOD WHEN SOMEONE PISSES HIM OFF.

I think something like that.

*edit. On top of Seguin he cost us a big 6'5' defenseman that we need. (frank) you kessel.

People are already saying "he only got 1 point against Russia". His dominance is already being downplayed.

1. He only shows up against bottom feeding teams..

2. He is fat. (yet somehow consistently one of the fastest players in the NHL year after year)..

Well this was said the past 3 WJC's...and suddenly people were very open to hearing other "Non-Omnipotent" ideologies.

That is the Russian players. Check out Malkin/Ovechkin in a playoff vs no playoff team point production.

And kessel is fat. and lazy. wheres that gif from HBO where everyone was on the bike and kessels fat ass was just sitting there.

I'm curious how they'll distribute ice time the rest of the way. Crosby with 15 minutes a game? Surely that's not why he's not scoring. Must be the big ice, his linemates, etc.
