Hey, one positive of last night was that, broken down by periods, we won one. I think the team, if the playoffs are out, needs to approach every period as a game within itself. It helps keep everyone in the game if the score of the GAME is ignored in favor of [...]

Settling the dust from the WJC’s
After a fun and controversial couple weeks of talking and watching the World Junior Championships from Ottawa its time to let the dust settle and think back with a more rational, and maybe less biased, view.
I’d first like to tab a player I like a lot but who I haven’t heard much about – Radko [...]

Game Blog – Canada/Sweden
warning; the host is very biased against…uh, you’ll know.
In a few hours we’ll know who are champions.
Will it be Sweden, will it be Canada.
I’m no fool, so I’ve got money on Canada. How could they not have brought the dough to pay for the final, too? hee hee.
Just Kidding, I didn’t place a bet. But [...]

Death in the OHA…
Reportedly, Don Sanderson of the OHA Whitby Dunlops has died as a result of complications sustained in a fight during a game on December 12th, 2008. I’m at a loss for words, in a sense, regarding this tragedy. I’ve cheered on Marty McSorley and still find myself drawn to crowing for my favorite teams goon [...]

Russians Tired-Out…
There are valiant efforts and there are cryin’ shames. And, its a cryin’ shame that Russia iced the puck with just a dozen or so ticks of the clock left in regulation; or, that they couldn’t get it past Subban(?) with just over 10 seconds to go – twice.
But fatigue plays a factor in these [...]

Canada Vs Russia – 2:2 at the end of the 1st
*writer’s note: I’m watching on my DVR, so I’m not necessarily live…
Is John Tavares playing in this game?
The real star of Canada is Dustin Tokarski. Where would they be without this little spark plug? Some great play by Ennis, Subban, Kane, and Cormier.
Della Rovere continues to disgrace the Canadian team and it’s a wonder how [...]

Americans Lose To The Slovaks 3:5…
Has Ron Rolston Ever Heard of John the Baptist? His head may soon be on a platter.
I haven’t watched the game, yet, but the knives are out. I’ll have more later after I watch the game, but I’m hoping that USAHockey doesn’t cow-tow to the forces that want more aggro in the game.
Instead of [...]

Dirty Canadians Steal The Day
What a game!
Nothing like the officials, both on ice and off, helping their boys back into this game. I’ve never seen worse officiating in a game. The “chippiness” of the Canadians was downright disgraceful. In youth tournaments you’re not supposed to let Canada throw hits after the whistle, attempt to paralyze one of our best [...]

USA vs. Czech Republic 4:3 – final.
There were a few times when the US was scrambling, but over all they were controlled and controlling the game.
I think the Czech team played a lot better against us than they did Canada. I haven’t seen any of the buildup games before the weekend, but the Czechs looked mentally beaten and, I thought, gave [...]
