Yessir. They are stifling to an absolutely ridiculous extent. Quick is helping keep the USA in it though, and Kane looks very deadly. Game isn't over by any means...

Not at all...the Americans have a potent offense and can never be counted out.

Not even close to being over. And Keith isn't even playing well, if he gets his head on straight this period its going to be tough to score two.

This is like NHL teams playing the Hawks when they're right. The top American talent can play with the Canadians, but the Canadians have crazy depth at forward and defense.

Why do they emphasize that Kunitz sold the hook? Kessel hooked him. It's a penalty. Give it a break.

It's just endless for Canada. And the cycle game they have is unreal

This bugs me too. He wouldn't have anything to sell if Kessel hadn't hooked him

Exactly. I really like Doc though. One of the very best.

Excellent game.

Let's go Sweden. Us D waited too long to get in the play. It made it too hard to sustain a forecheck.

Excellent game.

Game sucked.

Talk about embarassing, a close game certainly, but getting shut out in the semis is pretty bad.

Props to Canada, they dusted the skiddish USA defensemen all game and kept the forwards from getting many high quality chances.

So now we'll have 6 Hawks in the Gold medal game...that'll be a nervous watch

That pace is so fun to watch.

Yeah and all those great players from Canada managed 1.

Yeah, my horse is hoping nobody gets injured.

As far as the result though, I could give two sh*ts about who wins what.

Excellent game.

Agreed Saint. Just a smothering effort by the Canadians - their forwards played awesome defense. They'd still be playing were it not for the softie let in by Quick (right Fivvy?).

Apparently that's all those guys needed.

Bad coaching job. Wheeler should have played more. Kept the D too far back. That was the difference. Their D kept the play alive a lot.

Excellent game.

Meh. Hawks aren't going anywhere this season. I just hope they make it past the first round. Teams can't repeat anymore.

Thanks, Captain Positive! I think the Hawks have the best chance to repeat since Stevie-Y & the Wings in the late '90s.

Rather have Wheeler than Brown. Brown is useless on international ice. Jack Johnson would have help too. Plys big in these games. Shattenekirk was pretty useless.

Not with captain candyass leading them.
