Benn!!!

 

[CarltonTheBear]

What a goal

 

[Derk]

Niiiice.

 

[Bullfrog]

Nice deflection for Benn.

 

[Redleaf]

Benn has looked like the best Canadian today.

 

[Redleaf]

How long can the Canadian defense hold the Americans off the scoreboard?

 

[Jalili]

I think that USA had the 5 first mins or so and Canada the 15 last. Is St.Louis injured? If not these are the lines I would use, if I coached Team Canada:

Benn-Crosby-St.Louis
Marleau-Carter-Nash
Sharp-Getzlaf-Perry
Kunitz-Duchene-Toews

Don't think so, just choosing not to use him.

St. Louis might be at too much of a size disadvantage.

 

[Derk]

Kunitz should know that that's a penalty.

 

[Redleaf]

Shatner-Kirk ices it. Time out USA.

 

[Derk]

Good period for Canada there. Hopefully they can make it stand up.

 

[Redleaf]

Good period for Canada there. Hopefully they can make it stand up.

I'm guessing they'll need another goal. At least I'm really hoping for one.

60 minutes?  8)

 

[Beowulf]

Benn really has looked amazing even besides scoring the goal; best player on the ice.

Kunitz has been atrocious, and Keith I thought had an uncharacteristically poor 1st but settled things down in the 2nd.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Canada outplaying them.

Man, Kunitz has had probably the most number of great chances all tournament and has just screwed them up, either through his own fault or luck.  He's been on a 2 on 1 and 3 on 1 this game where he's tried to pass it and it's been intercepted both times.  Then takes that penalty.

It sucks because he's getting himself into these positions to do something, which is good.

 

[ZBBM]

I'm unable to watch. What's going on with Philiberto and Dutch?  They on mute?

 

[Derk]

Crosby missed on a glorious chance too. An insurance goal needs to go in soon.

 

[Deebo]

Benn is pretty darn good

 

[Derk]

Kunitz missed chance after missed chance.

 

[Derk]

I have this sinking feeling that a bad bounce or some small mistake is going to let the US tie the game.

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

for once in  my life, I'm smiling at Kessel getting a penalty.


On a semi related note, the PP sucks! holy crap?..
