      Canada once again looks strong-- It will be interesting to see how good Russia is this year-- They have been 2nd for 4 years in a row IIRC.

            First game Canada has lost since January 2004.

            Amazing collapse in the 3rd period, allowing 4 Sweden goals...3 of them within 4 minutes.

            Maybe Tavares will get more than 5 shifts a game now...one of the worst games from Canada in the WJ I've ever seen.

            They let Sweden score with 13s left to win it. Luckily, a Flames prospect set up that play for Sweden...

              That defensive breakdown on the last goal was just awful-- I couldn't believe that two guys went for the puckcarrier and left the other guy wide open.

              But this squad had not overly impressed me in the first two games despite the shutouts. They do look strong enough to contend for gold but they are not clearly the class of the field as they have been in some other years

                In particular I'm not impressed with Tavares' little icetime.

                This team is starting to remind me of our last Olympic team. Players like Maltby getting lots of icetime while Crosby watched the game from home.

                  WEll

                  Canada pulled through with another less than impressive offensive output but again pretty good d

                  They will have to be better against the states and start burying more of those chances

                  Oh and it seems Tavares is playing more regularly and continues to contribute
