Top PK was Bergeron-Benn, second was Toews-Carter, third was Getz-Marleau

Rick Nash was out for damn near every PK in the gold medal game.. and the semi's as well.

not even debatable.. he just was.

Depends on how drunk you were, weather it is debatable or not.

Maybe he figures he has more of a chance to step in and play on a team with an inexperienced, young goaltender....

That he'll eventually be called upon to save the team by stepping in and backstopping the team to glory and cementing his status as the best goaltender of all time. I wouldn't be surprised.

Dyslexia?

I was confusing him with Nick Rash! I knew there had to be a logical explanation.

edit: Also, Gyan Retzlaf had a shorthanded goal, but he wasn't in any of the 3 PK units either.

Can you believe they did that without fighters on the 4th line?

Not true. You can't take fighting out of hockey. It is different from every other contact sport.

They weren't all that exciting, but it was impressive the way they just adopted a system and stuck to it. Every line looked like every other line.

I'm going to never let mykokes get away with saying Phaneuf is better than Weber and it was all a matter of reputation and media bias.

yes.. even i would say if you could replace a 4th line winger like colton orr with rick nash you do it.

i know thats a stretch for you to believe i would think that.. but i really and truly do

I saw Karlsson silver medal on ebay this morning, right under the slightly used Subban game sweater.

So, are the Leafs gonna start poopting the bed? PB&J who are arguably the best line in the game over the last month. Especially now that I can like Kessel and JvR again.

Did he actually put that up, or was it some dumb-ass roomer?

i know.. but excuse me if I ask why you think this?

they dominated damn near every aspect of the tourney

sure.. they didnt overpower with offense but frankly... thats not how you win short tourneys

i think they executed what babcock wanted them to.. this wasnt a failing in offensive ability.. it was dedication to a particular system.

i just dont see how you can be unimpressed with a team that never once trailed and went undefeated? asking for anything more is quite frankly, a bit unrealistic no?
