Should have been.
Slovaks played perfectly. Took their chances, kept patient even with 9 minutes left.
Slovakia should have won tonight. They played better.
USA is the major favourite for the Gold medal.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Wow, why am I surprised you blame Luongo for the goal? Just bad luck, the puck fell in behind, after it sat on his feet.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

He was standing up and pressed against the goal post with a sizable hole as he wasn't pressing properly. The puck went in through the hole. It was his fault, no argument can be made otherwise. You gotta be tight against the post when the puck is at the side of the net."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

The puck went in through the hole.
Edit, yeah, the puck hit his lower pads, and bounced up underneath his glove and then behind the glove and into the net.Last edited by Ben Kenobi; February 27, 2010, 01:34.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

But that cannot seem to work for this since Canada won yet you say they "played better"
Lets see-- Basically the Slovaks were in a defensive shell for two periods and had directed 9 shots on goal and arguably ZERO good chances to score through two periods while Halak made some excellent stops. Down 3-0 they got some jump when Luongo allowed a pretty awful goal and then even morer jump from an inexcusable Canadian breakdown. Casnada scranbled at the end but in the end prevailed
Overall on a game wide basis, Canada had more shots, chances, goals and time in the opposition territory.
Slovakia did play an intelligent defensive style in the hopes to hang around,get opportunistic and win a low scoring affair. It almost worked. But ultimately it didn't.
So Ben in what elements of the game did the Slovaks dominate?

US being the major favorite. Having the hottest keeper counts for a lot and 6 goals in a period is impressive so I have a tough time seeing them as underdogs.
But Canada has overall outplayed everyone they have faced and overall does have a more talented roster. The problem they have is in net. Luongo has been merely adequate to good while Miller has been fantastic. If I had confidence that Luongo could step up with a great game I would confidently declare Canada the favorite. BUt I don't have that confidenceYou don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto Luongo

That's my view as well.
I will be more than happy if Luongo steps up and steals the game, but from what I've seen in this tournament so far and from what I remember last year in his only do-or-die game (7uongo?), I'm not expecting it."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate.

My thought is that Canada would lose not because of Bobby Lou, but because they can't crack Miller.
That's going to be my prediction, 3-2 for the Americans.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.
