Ugh, this one starts even later than yesterday's Canada game? Sucks. :(

Can I watch the TSN stream in Sweden?

Can I watch the TSN stream in Sweden?
Use TVUPlayer. I'm not sure if they show this game but sure there will be some.

Anyone think Harts will throw Gagner back into a offensive role? Or do you think like me and he's done for the tournament and will be the 13th forward from here on out?

So is Price starting again today?

Jeez, 2:30am... I'd better stay up real late tonight and get ready for this....

Use TVUPlayer. I'm not sure if they show this game but sure there will be some.

So TSN's livestream don't work?

So TSN's livestream don't work?

Only in Canada.

Best of luck to both teams, make it a barnburner!

On paper and looking at past history I think it's a 3-1 Canada win. Hopefully the US coaches can pull their head out of the sand and make the needed corrections for the win.

If US has some quick confidence boosters and plays with some good passion I see a tie game with a great 4 on 4 overtime win for the US

vBookie: http://hfboards.com/showthread.php?t=325918

Possible lines?

I just put some v-cash on the USA. I'm weird like that.

As an ardent Team Canada supporter, of course I think Canada will win. But this is the type of game that scares the heck out of me. Normally I'd look at the schedule and think it was advantageous to Canada. Canada get a tough tournament opener against Sweden. The U.S. gets their pushover game out of the way right off the bat against Germany. Games like that are nice, but they're also a breeding ground for bad habits.

Then the Germans throw a kink into the plans and beat the U.S. in OT. The U.S. is going to be a very pissed off team, and they're going to be playing with a lot to prove today. Over the past decade, they have always saved their best hockey for Canada. Their best game at last year's tournament was against Canada.

Go Canada Go!

Tonight's a great night of hockey for me, first this game...then Montreal vs Washington later tonight!

Hoping for another great performance by Carey Price!

HOOOOOLYYYYYYY GO CANADA
just put my vcash on the canadians, looking for another win!

So TSN's livestream don't work?

The RDS stream works

Sweet, they're saying that Hartsburg bumped up Little to play with Toews and O'Marra

I like Little's playstyle; i think he'll do well there. Gagner was disappointing in the first game.

I've been using the RDS stream. I get to see some games, and I might even walk away knowing a word or two of French.

Let the predictions begin!

USA breaks Canada's shutout streak but still loses:

Can 3-1

I predict an evenly matched game but in the end Carey Price outshines his counterpart.

well if bourdon and letang play the same way they did last night the us will def break that shutout streak

Radio feed, por favor?

i'll say...

4-2 Canada

Close game the first two periods, but Canada takes the third and with it they take the game.

yeah i def wasnt impressed with Canada's play yesterday.

too much fumbling with the puck, all kinds of turnovers. if sweden had'nt been so nervous in front of their home crowd, they could of taken that game.

canada's team better step up. but let's face it, we'll not have a team like last year's one with guys like Crosby, Bergeron and Phaneuf...

Just a pre-emptive warning for anyone participating in todays thread. I am not going to have a repeat of last years Canada/US game. Any personal attacks, political talk, or trolling will be met with warning points. No exceptions.

Canada is gonna take it....I hope

Does anyone know if there is an english video feed online?

I have Centre Ice, but am stuck at the office so I am forced to plug into the RDS feed right now.

Thanks!

canada's team better step up. but let's face it, we'll not have a team like last year's one with guys like Crosby, Bergeron and Phaneuf...

Dude, that was two years ago. But yeah, I don't think we'll ever have a better team than that one just because there was an NHL lockout and any and all eligible players played were able to play. I think that WJHC was the year where Canada proved how good their hockey program really is, because if you think about it Sidney Crosby, Jordan Staal, and Gilbert Brule could still be playing for this years team!

CANADA!!!!!!!!:handclap:

So if the US wins, I can't call them a bunch of Shatner-Stealing Mexico-touchers*? :)





*-Stole from The Simpsons

USA looks really fast

Gagner should be more careful about not hooking guys. =/

lets get Physical

Downie's really shadowing Stoa

game is on Center ice if people didnt know.

Anyone getting the RDS stream to work?

teams look pretty evenly matched early, no real chances coming, equal time spent in each end.

Hmm, they seem to have moved the broadcast camera down for this one. It's too bad, I happened to like the high camera angle from yesterday's game.

Works for me, had to use IE though.

Did JJ just leave the bench? :dunno:

The FM Mattsson arena has an extremely low ceiling.

Link?

A very careful came so far. Looks like they are jockeying for who's going to control the game physically.

i guess im used to seeing NHL games too often, but is it me or do the players seem to kind of suck at handling the puck while skating?

Very impressed with the Refs. they are letting them play.

I know someone asked this already but anyone know of an audio feed for the game?

USAHockey.com has one

Interfernece on Canada

USA PP coming up, Neal to the box.

Different Stadium

I see, thanks.

Good pressure by the canadian 2nd line. Neal's just lucky he didn't get called for a hit from behind right now.

Anyone know where I can find an online listing of player numbers?

This feed is bad, I don't speak french, so I have no idea who I'm looking at. All I can see is blurry numbers moving around.

Link?

are you getting it to work?

USAHockey.com has one
Thank you!

brief 2-man advantage for the US. Slashing on Ryan Parent.

Another US Powerplay coming

That was a rather obvious penalty by Parent.

Too many penalties boys.

Very impressed with the Refs. they are letting them play.

Thanks, you ruined it! :help:

20 secs of 5-3. =/

time for USA to capitalize on the 2-man advantage...

Perhaps Gord Miller should pay attention to the ref's signals - that was a holding penalty not a slash; did the same with the last one too; just look at the signal Gord.

For those with XM, the game is on channel 204.

nearlyu a SH goal to Canada.

dunno if this has been posted, but for those of you at home, its nice and clear on TSN TV :)

Wow, what a giveaway.

Team USA is not moving enough on the PP.

nice hit by staal

Excellent PK

Us powerplay gets no good chances

im liking this Okposo character. seems to be the most skilled on the ice forward.

Toews looks great, he's miles ahead of last year.

Thanks, you ruined it! :help:

The first one was a penalty. i didnt see the second one. but Canada's PK was awesome on that 5 on 3

Nice PK there. Staal was particularly good.

I use to think that IIHF games where far less chippy and much more fluid than NHL games, but now it seems like its the other way around. There seems to be a lot of hooks and tugs, although not still not as bad as the "old" NHL.

That was from last years game.

Whoops. That's what happens when you don't understand french. :blush:

It's funny actually...that's a product of the "new" NHL. I noticed that a lot in yesterday's game. So much hooking, clutching, grabbing etc. Made me appreciate the NHL game ALOT more.

Almost sneaks through Price's pads

Great scoring chance for the US there, just didn't find the back of the net.

Downie!

He makes Johnson pay very nicely. Assisted by Letang and Bourdon.

IIHF games have always been Chippy. they replayed gold medal games on ESPN classic Canada last weekend. there was tons of hooking, clutching holding, lumberjack action


CANADA GOAL Steve Downie


what was the US goalie doing on that? worst postioning ever... his five hole was more open than britney spears legs...

Downie!!!!!!!

1-0 Canada!!

Canada scores

Johnson pinches and costs his team.

Downie scores! Zatkoff looked pretty weak on this one.

Johnson pinch leads to Downie goal

All right Downie! No better revenge than having Jack Johnson get a good view of you opening the scoring.:yo:

Nice, accurate shot.

Well that sucked. Everyone is 30-45 seconds ahead of me.

Downie scores! Zatkoff looked pretty weak on this one.


Didnt close his five hole, he went down wierd with his left leg

Downie!!!!!!!

1-0 Canada!!

elite finish by downie there... and another point for Bourdon :yo:

GO CANADA GO!

That´s how Downie gets back at Jack Johnson... nice pinch.

Really impressed by Skille's skating so far.

whooever was #2 for the US, playing defense.....it was awful nice of him to give Downie a clear path to the net....the defender was playing pass all the way....

Penalty or just stopped the play because Little's helmet fell off?

Zatkoff looked pretty bad there.

whooever was #2 for the US, playing defense.....it was awful nice of him to give Downie a clear path to the net....the defender was playing pass all the way....

The D-man is generally supposed to take the passer on a 2 on 1, leaving the shooter for the goalie. That said, the US dman should have shaded a bit more to his right and not given Downie such a great shooting angle.

I just got home. How have the Americans looked?

whooever was #2 for the US, playing defense.....it was awful nice of him to give Downie a clear path to the net....the defender was playing pass all the way....

Was Lawson, and yeah, totally played pass all the way. Thanks!

whooever was #2 for the US, playing defense.....it was awful nice of him to give Downie a clear path to the net....the defender was playing pass all the way....

Aren't you supposed to play the pass and let the goalie take the shot in a 2-on-1?

Canada PP coming up

PP Canada

Stoa to the box for tripping

Franson WOOT!

2-0 Franzen

Aren't you supposed to play the pass and let the goalie take the shot in a 2-on-1?

Yes, and in fairness, if I was the defenseman I'd be looking for Downie to pass as well.

Franson scores!

FRANSON PP GOAL!!!

2-0 Canada!!!!!

2-0 Canada. Pyatt!

2-0. Awww Yeah, Boy-eee

2-0 Canada

I just got home. How have the Americans looked?


not bad, but Canada > US

2-0 now, PP goal.

and that's how you run a PP.. :biglaugh:

canada scores

Goal! Fransson through traffic point shot.

whooever was #2 for the US, playing defense.....it was awful nice of him to give Downie a clear path to the net....the defender was playing pass all the way....

man, Blame the goalie, i dont know what he was thinking but that 5 hole was crazy open.

Good screening by Canada.

whooever was #2 for the US, playing defense.....it was awful nice of him to give Downie a clear path to the net....the defender was playing pass all the way....

Uh.... that's what you're supposed to do. Defenseman takes away the pass across and goalie takes the shooter.

D'oh.. not good. 2-0 Canada.

Nice save Price.

The flood gates are opening....2-0 CANADA.....:clap: :clap:

Zatkoff :shakehead

US is going to be out quickly if this poor goaltending continues......

Goal went to Pyatt.

Nice save by Price on the cross-ice pass.

Let's get this big red machine rollin! :handclap:

No chance for the goalie on that one though.....

game just opened up, turning into run n gun.

all the US shots coming from the outside

Zatkoff looked pretty bad there.

I think it is becomming pretty apparent that Price > Zatkoff, who looks like he has been fighting the puck all game. Price looks rock solid.

Skille (sp?) Has really been one of the better or maybe even the best forward for US today, he's really been hustling all the time. Great player already.

I had almost forgotten how stupid the player in the crease rule is.

Im suprised we haven't seen much of USA's firepower as of yet. Great job by our defenceman containing Okposo, Mueller thus far.

This crease rule, how did Tomas Holmstrom survive during his time in Sweden?

about the IIHF rule regarding play being blown dead as soon as an attacking player enters the crease?

Canada really dominates along the boards. That's the story so far for me.
Also, Zatkoff is looking shaky today, and he wasn't much better against Germany (especially that overtime goal). USA should look into getting Frazee on the ice; he can't be any worse.

Skille (sp?) Has really been one of the better or maybe even the best forward for US today, he's really been hustling all the time. Great player already.
I noticed this too. Skille looks like something special. His rushes have been something to watch.

all the US shots coming from the outside

yah, Canada did a good job with that yesterday against Sweden to make sure not many good shoots went through. Canada's D is playing the US perfectly, Can they hold up? still 2 periods left.

1st period over.


Great period. Canada is skating hard, the D is playing great and the Offense is shinning. Much better Effort than against Sweden.

Puck was in the crease, it was a quick whistle. Typical.

Anyone know how many shots the US had in that period?

Didn't seem like too many. Then again, it didn't seem like Canada had many shots either.

I had almost forgotten how stupid the player in the crease rule is.

I bet most goalies, especially Martin Brodeur, would disagree with you here... allthough I would tend to agree with you, it takes an element (crashing the net) out of the game.

Haven't heard too much from Chorney. Heard his name at the end there, but other than that, thats about it. Jack Johnson, everyone lets you know he has the puck.:biglaugh:

Zatkoff's postioning is really bad. he is always like this? or is he just shaky?

Not a bad first period by the Canadian boys....still have to get better

I just got home. How have the Americans looked?

Terrible, in every sense of the word

Tom Pyatt is a MONSTER! I´d take a team full of Tom Payatt´s. I thought the Americans were supposed to be fast. Canada is skating them into the ground.

The flood gates are opening....2-0 CANADA.....:clap: :clap:

That's an overstatement. The game is far from over and the US can still win this game.

Anone else reminded of Martin Gerber (pre-suckiness of course) when they watch Carey Price? Big positional goalie. Great on angles and rebound control.

Canada is playing well defensively the US had no real scoring chances that period. The US goaltending looks shaky. He should have stopped the first goal and probably the second although I couldn't tell if the second was deflected.

Bourdon really is becoming a great all-around D-man - he reacts and responds to the deficiencies and strengths of his partner so well. With Letang, he has adopted more of a stay-at-home style, to cover for the brainfarts and pinches that Letang has been having this tournament. He stood up Skille, I think, and sprung the puck for Letang and Downie, who scored the first goal. Great stuff.

Letang needs to pay more attention to his back end game though.

Haven't heard too much from Chorney. Heard his name at the end there, but other than that, thats about it. Jack Johnson, everyone lets you know he has the puck.:biglaugh:

Has Lee been on the ice much? His ice time was limited last game. It sounds like they're continuing to give the Johnsons a ton of ice time though, so, I'm guessing not much.

Anone else reminded of Martin Gerber (pre-suckiness of course) when they watch Carey Price? Big positional goalie. Great on angles and rebound control.


Yes on this point, but Price does not remind me of Gerber, but rather another stellar Canadian international goalie: Sean Burke.

Jack and Erik certianly aren't living up to the hype.

Sigh... Jack Johnson had a big problem last year at Michigan pinching in and leading to odd-man rushes the other way. He's actually been much better this year in his discipline and positioning. He's an emotional player and he's probably too wound up again, which is when he gets in trouble.

And as someone who gets to see Zatkoff fairly regularly, he's really good for Miami. I thought coming in he should get the #1 over Frazee, who's been pretty mediocre for Minnesota. But Zatkoff seems to be reacting slow to the plays, not sure what his problem is, definately fighting his game right now.

does anyone have the shots after the 1st?

Saw the last 10 minutes of the first and it was all Canada, by far the quicker and more aggressive team. This one will get out of hand if it continues like that.

Great first period for the team in Red.

Canada is playing well defensively the US had no real scoring chances that period. The US goaltending looks shaky. He should have stopped the first goal and probably the second although I couldn't tell if the second was deflected.

i wouldn't blame him on either goal..the 2 on 1 or the pp goal --he was screened and the puck was deflected

Has Lee been on the ice much? His ice time was limited last game. It sounds like they're continuing to give the Johnsons a ton of ice time though, so, I'm guessing not much.
Yeah, it seems they have been taking in good use of the Johnson's. I noticed Lee a few times. But it looks as if the Johnson's are on everytime the Downie-Cogliano-Marchand line is on. The commentators really haven't talked much about the American defensive matchups they want to have on the ice, but more that Parent and Staal are to shut down the Mueller line?

Bourdon really is becoming a great all-around D-man - he reacts and responds to the deficiencies and strengths of his partner so well. With Letang, he has adopted more of a stay-at-home style, to cover for the brainfarts and pinches that Letang has been having this tournament. He stood up Skille, I think, and sprung the puck for Letang and Downie, who scored the first goal. Great stuff.

Letang needs to pay more attention to his back end game though.


I love Bourdon.... can't wait to see him on the Canucks blue line for years to come.

Canada is playing much more physical and with much more jump then yesterday. Much better performance from them. The U.S started to look threatening in the second half of the period, starting with a long PP, but the penalty they took late in the period while in control in Canada's zone was a pretty stupid penalty and cost them pushing for a goal to tie the game and a second goal for Canada to boot.

I really wish McGuire would take a look at replays once in awhile. Man he gets annoying. Miscalls plenty of goalscorers because he doesn't see a tip or whatever, same thing with penalties. Then he babbles through the replay and doesn't bother having a look to notice he looks like a numbskull for not seeing it right and still talking about it.

Pyatt's goal was a prime example - He's babbling on and on about how it was all Franson's work and that he'd scored the goal...finally when he's stopped yapping they hear the end of the goal announced and realize Pyatt had scored it.

Pierre then spends the next minute talking about Pyatt being "credited" with the goal before he takes the time to actually look at the replay. Then, and only then, does he finally acknowledge that Pyatt may have indeed had something to do with that goal - it was headed straight for the goalie's chest protector before he redirected it as was plainly obvious from the first replay moment earlier; hell i noticed that he tipped it during live play.

Now even Duthie speaks twice about Pyatt being "credited" with the goal. Look at the replay and stop listening to Pierre you doof
us.

I don't normally rag on announcers, but it's Pierre's arrogance that is hindering his job; the above scenario has repeated itself so many times it's not even recountable. You wear glasses for a reason Pierre; there's lots that you miss.

Yes on this point, but Price does not remind me of Gerber, but rather another stellar Canadian international goalie: Sean Burke.

Good call and I totally agree.Price looks big in the net and playing well right now.Hope he keeps it up.Go Canada!!

Letang needs to pay more attention to his back end game though.

That's putting it lightly, he's completely careless with the puck.

That's an overstatement. The game is far from over and the US can still win this game.

You are entitled to your opinion.......The US havent shown anything in this game so far.....

does anyone have the shots after the 1st?
Can- 9
USA- 9

does anyone have the shots after the 1st?

9-9

Cogliano looks like a guy using a turbo boost in NHL07... guys so fast out there...

Settle down, who cares.

I´m going to make a lot of judgements about the America team in the first 5 minutes of the second period. If their coaches have any aptitude they will have those guys playing desperate hockey. If they come out like they did in the first period they´re going to the relagation round.

Canada playing it's game to a tee thus far.Dominating physically and along the boards,great PK work,getting under the skin of some of their top players like JJ and it's paying off.Great period by Staal,Downie(keep it under control Steve!!)Toews.Everyones been playing good so far and that periods a wrap.

Let's hope they can keep it up,long way from being over.

does anyone have the shots after the 1st?

9 - 9

Zatkoff's postioning is really bad. he is always like this? or is he just shaky?

I haven't seen enough of Zatkoff to say if he's always like this but from what I've seen, while he has great lateral movement and a good glove hand, he's having trouble covering his five-hole and angles.

Price on the other hand is making it look easy. The USA team hasn't really challenged him though; they don't go to the inside. They didn't do it against Germany and they're not doing it today. When a team makes even the german defense look good...

I don't think anybody has mentioned it, but i think Staal is doing great. He makes everything look so easy, playing very physical too. Out of the whole team i would probably want him on the my team the most. And wow, Cogliano looks even faster than yesterday!

US has to pick it up.

I was thinking the same thing after the goal... but usually I like McQuire's commentary, except how he calls way too many players "special".
Well, everyone is "special" in their own way. Toews is special because he likes to sacrifice for his team, Letang is special because he started the season in Pittsburgh, Neal is special for his forechecking, and Bourdon is special because of his unibrow :sarcasm:

Canada PP coming up, thanks to Downie being strong with the puck on the boards

Russel still can't take a pass :(

Settle down, who cares.

Ha, ha...whatever you say boss.

People who have to listen to his repitition care. Those too obtuse to notice, such as yourself, can do whatever you like, such as getting annoyed at people who get annoyed at annoying people.:dunce:

Canada is just out muscling the USA now.


GOAL Toews 3-0

Toews! 3-0

3-0 another PPG

I don't think anybody has mentioned it, but i think Staal is doing great. He makes everything look so easy, playing very physical too. Out of the whole team i would probably want him on the my team the most. And wow, Cogliano looks even faster than yesterday!

+1

TOEWS!!!!

3-0 Canada, another PP Goal.

Toews on the PP! 3-0 Canada.

Toews makes it 3-0 on the PP. :yo:

Toews scores

That was a pretty bad penalty call on Lewis.

I don't think anybody has mentioned it, but i think Staal is doing great.

Especially on the PK. He's so calm and cool.

It's about time for Toews!

Wooooo

Toews!

I'm not gonna blame Zatkoff on this one, he did all he could. Canada just overwhelmed them.

EJ score 3-1

Jesus Christ, finally.

E. Johnson with the goal. 3-1 Canada

FINALLY people can shut up about the tainted shutout streak. :sarcasm:

Canada is just out muscling the USA now.


GOAL Toews 3-0

Don't be so quick to rule out the americans... 3-1 Canada now.

And someone finally scores on Canada.

Yeaaa, US scores

Canada seem better fit to this game. I am really impressed.

Crap -- there goes the streak

Good shot by Johnson keeping his team into the game.

Johnson answers... finally. The US really needs to step it up and if they can't get shots off from down low at least screen more shots from the point like that.

234 minutes. Not bad.

Canada just have to keep going.

Nice goal by the US.

I've been shocked at how much trouble the US has had containing players in their own zone. This team has some outstanding defensively, and very phyisically strong, players and they're not performing as I expected.

Don't be so quicky to rule out the americans... 3-1 Canada now.

i'm not. Canada is out muscling them.... which is what i said...

at least the streak is ended, if nothing else, that's something to be happy about.

Americans are getting nice chances now, that goal seemed to revive them

USA will go on PP

Wow. Canada is simply just better than the US today. Either Sweden played very well yesterday or Canada is alot better today. I'm assuming it is the latter, because there is no way that the US is a worse team than Sweden.

US PP


Is Canada getting complacent?

Get Okposo out there on the PP!

Looks like USA wants to play now.

This PP is key. Whichever side comes on top will have the edge for the rest of the period, and maybe game

This PP is key. Whichever side comes on top will have the edge for the rest of the period, and maybe game O please.. the score is 3:1...
You can say that about any PP for any team.

How did Price look on that goal? I'm at work and can't get the game...

Two things:

1.) Isn't Skille and Toews both drafted by Chicago, Dayum, its gonna suck to play against them in the future.

2.) whats the PP Unit for US?? I thought EJ and JJ were at the points but meuller (sp?) is there.

Is JJ really better than EJ to quaterback the PP ??
I'm not impressed with his play so far

the USA is getting lots of shots, now, but they're not getting enough traffic in front of Price. He's seeing all his shots.

He was screened.

O please.. the score is 3:1...

yeah, maybe the statement was a bit grad, but I had about 30 seconds to think and write it down :dunce:

Price never saw the puck.

Darren Helm is FAST on the blades.

How ****ing bad is the US powerplay? Jesus Christ.

US is too nonchalant about moving the puck. Too many players who think they can calmly act like Bobby Orr in their own zone and along the blue line

yeah, maybe the statement was a bit grad, but I had about 30 seconds to think and write it down :dunce: Well use 35 seconds and come up with somehting better.

I think USA will only score this one goal they will not score more. Canada will play better.

How ****ing bad is the US powerplay? Jesus Christ.

they hold on to the puck way too long, i've noticed through 2 games.

Oh-oh.

CARMAN!

it's a one goal game, baby!

****in' right! 3-2.

OH OH OH

1 goal game.

we have a hockey game folks!

Carman scores!!!

3-2 CANADA

3-2

bad break, puck off the boards in the perfect spot for the Americans

How did Price look on that goal? I'm at work and can't get the game...

The puck had eyes, a real good shot. I would say he did what he could.

Smooth spin-o-rama move by JJ.

... and ohhh, juicy rebound by Price. USA scores! No wait, rebounded against the back board. Still, a good drive they did.

Well use 35 seconds and come up with somehting better.

I think USA will only score this one goal they will not score more. Canada will play better.ops...

Goal USA!

You are entitled to your opinion.......The US havent shown anything in this game so far.....

I guess the flood gates are really opening now huh?

here come the Yanks.... :clap:

Those boards are crazy.

Our defense needs to tighten up.

sweatt friggin flies. hes gotta be a top 20 pick

I'm watching the French stream on RDS, who took the initial shot?

Well, there you go. Things turn around quick.

That´s a greasy goal. A rocket off the back boards.

is Staal ok?

I said "Hey Carman"

Coast to coast! Nice to see, but the Canadian defense should know better.

Luck goes the USAs way on that one, not that I'm complaining. Great play by Carman to head in to cover any rebounds, Price just didn't expect it to rebound off the boards.

Finally someone fights to get to the net.

this game is picking up pace by the minute.

That was a really nice rush and then a good job on the follow by Carman. Really poor coverage by the two defenders on that play. The Canadians need to buckle down and get their act together, because this American team has, IMO, more firepower than they do and will have the distinct advantage if play opens up.

The Gophers trying to save the USA!

I'm watching the French stream on RDS, who took the initial shot?


sweatt took it end to end, i think he assisted the first goal too. not sure, i have rds feed, and the usahockey audiocast doesnt match up with rds.

Downie is getting a penalty? 10Min?

Well that was a dumb penalty

But I think they are getting back into it. Johnson got a good lick on stall, that could be bad for us.

In good news, there are enough Canucks in the stands to boo johnson every time he has the puck, which is good. Really dumb of Carolina to trade him, real real dumb.

Downie goes for unsportsmanlike. Misconduct. 5 on 5
