usa looked pretty awful from what i watched i really hope they step it up a lot

iginla didn't get the hat trick they gave the last goal to rick nash and not iginla

They made a few mistakes but I wouldnt say awful. We definitely lack experience but our speed is very impressive, our 2nd goal was simply just wheeled up the side by Backes. The Swiss missed a few open shots which will definitely have to be looked at by the US, but overall I believe a large part was nerves being played out by a very young team.

If you look at Russia's defense, it's pretty obvious that they are absolutely screwed against any team that can hit the net. All 3 forwards cherry picking at the blue line while one D man fends off a forecheck, trying to move the puck up the ice prematurely.

thanks - but come on, its norway...

Anything less then gold is a poor performance in our eyes.

As it should be.

Team Canada isn't just loaded with NHL talent, it is loaded with All Star NHL talent.

The USA team is young, don't know if that means they will play loose or stupid.

I'm hoping for loose and nothing to lose and minimal expectations.

The pressure on Canada to not only win but destroy all opposition might bite them. But I doubt it. They look fabulous.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
