Yeah like it had nothing to do with 0 net front presence. Virtually no rebounds recovered by US. Price was not tested in this game at all.DelPen wrote:Ok, so they have to talk up Price now to justify being shut out.

There is no way I'm getting up at 7:00 to watch a consolation game for a bronze medal.

Kane and Pavelski needed to be better. Pavelski looked completely lost out there.

Good. Thanks, Trip. I was rooting hard for him.Trip McNeely wrote:I thought Orpik had a solid game honestlyLt. Dish wrote:What happened, guys?!
I'm at work and missed the whole thing. It sounds like Orpik validated the ire at his selection, Price was a brick wall, the Laviolette time out didn't work, and the USA team overall picked this game to suck? AND we lost Martin. Does any think that might have made a difference? I guess not, if no one--not even Kessel vanRiemsdyk--could score.
After yesterday's women's game, this...ugh. Forget it.

Quick was the better goalie today. But the outcome doesn't show it. He played his heart out.

Martin would ahve helped a lot in puck movement. His loss to USA hurt them more than him being out a month for the Pens.

That's crazy talk!! You can't be absolving Bylsma and getting away with it on this board!!
Canada played the perfect lockdown game. Our power play was horrendous. If Kane holds the puck any longer and we pass it around the perimeter a few more times with no one even THINKING of shooting, then I was gonna break one of the 75 TVs in my field of view at the moment (no, I don't work in the electronics section of Wal-Mart). Gotta credit Canada's defense and unfortunate that the Benn goal is what wins it.
Oh well, I'll be rooting for Canada on Sunday. Gotta collect my bet.

Orpik wasn't bad, he should've tied up Benn on the goal but I didn't have a problem with the way he played. They just didn't play the team game I thought they would today. Canada looked more motivated.

Re: The Official Olympic Hockey Thread
Yeah he played very well. Scared the hell out of me a couple times. But he didn't score. No one in Canada is going to praise a superstar that can't score. I could just imagine them yelling about Kunitz all game. Saying he doesn't deserve to be there. Did you see that open net he missed? I bet they say it! I guess to me, the Canadian media doesn't deserve to win. Maybe the players do but blah....newarenanow wrote:I thought he had a hell of a game today.pens_srq wrote:I would have been happy for Malkin.

Re: The Official Olympic Hockey Thread
I can't wait for the Pens to come back. I kept trying to get into these games but its been pretty boring honestly. Most of the games are either a blowout or a complete bore fest. This game started good but then slowed way down.
I welcome back NHL hockey over this. A pathetic showing by USA offense today, should of known this was coming.

I'm hearing some guys here say the same thing about how his absence was plainly noticeable. What crap luck. I know stuff happens, but it's just too perfect.

Re: The Official Olympic Hockey Thread
If Sid wins gold, I'd suggest the Pens keep quiet about it when they get back. No need to have a house full of boos rain down on Sid and Kunitz.
