Slovaks just played way too scared the whole game until the end. Got unlucky with Demitra unable to knock in the rebound, but they just waited too long to crank up the pressure and start taking chances.

Canada has really only looked good against Russia, and seriously Russia was probably the most disappointing team in Vancouver. There's so much talent on the team, so you can never just shrug them off... but seriously I really believe that we can pull it off again.

This isn't the 1980 team vs. the best hockey team in the world. This is the most underrated team vs. the most overhyped team. We have the best combination of speed, skill and hard working grit. Not to mention the best goaltender at the games.

Tough break for Slovakia. Halak is obviously legit and should get a chance to be a #1 in the NHL. Not much talent on the ice, but they were able to overcome a lot and have the chance to play the lowly Finns for a bronze. Good for them.

But Canada, seriously. This should not have been that entertaining.

By biggest worry is our offense but we tore Finland a good one but besides that we havent scored as much as I like. The defensive side looks good hope Miller keeps up what he is doing and I like the way our guys defend the pucks. Will be a great game. Just cant give USA the edge as Canada still have some great players.

      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.
