So Canada won. Again. 8-2 this time against Slovakia.

Only... I'm not really happy.

I know, I know... but.....

I really, really, really, really, did not like all the penalties Canada was taking. They can't get away with this against the Americans or the Swedes or the Russians....

Cormier especially is annoying me a lot with his idiotic penalties. His needless stupid cross check to whichever Slovak guy that was cost Canada a goal. I don't care that Canada was already up by five or six goals. The point is the penalty was super dumb and this was not the first time that he's taken stupid penalties. Please stop this stuff right now. Or else.

Meh.... at least the Slovaks made a game of it despite what the score might say. Hrasko was smashing everyone.  Forget the Czech Bulldozer (Sobotka). Hrasko is out to flatten everyone (omg, can we draft him? Can we? PLEASE?).

Nice game for Taylor Hall though. Everyone starts complaining that he hasn't scored and bingo, he has 3 goals. Hehehe.

Speaking of Hall.... Pierre McGuire gets the quote of the day with this:

“See them making ice cream? That kid (Hall) doesn’t eat ice cream, he just scores goals.”

Um................no really.... what in the hell is that even supposed to mean...............?!!

Just for that, I want footage of Hall stuffing his face with ice cream. On second thought, maybe not........but... oh never mind... Can we all just agree that Pierre McGuire makes no sense whatsoever and this is just more proof of it?

................

Oh and thanks for nothing Russia......... You could've beaten Sweden but nooooooooo........ you had to lose 4-1. Booohooo... Only saw a few mins but Sweden was really dominating the game when I saw them...... Can Sweden and Russia both implode before the semis? please? PLEASE?

Russia played like crap. It was no contest for Sweden. I mean, why was it that the only line capable of crossing the blue line and setting up with purpose was Trunev's? He reminded me a lot of Sergei: all vision, the two defensemen screwing up the blueline most of the time once his line gets a good cycle, and then gets blocked when he sends off a good shot. The rest of the game was Filatov attempting to send someone on a breakaway or getting shutdown. Individualism doesn't win tournaments, Russia.

Cormier... Some captain eh?

Thank you Number31, I was about to ask EP for a report on Trunev!

I tried to watch Finland the other day for Joonas Nattinen. He looked good but he wasn't the most impressive guy out there.

You know it's not good when Russia is getting outshot by 40something to 16 by Finland (and they STILL blanked them?!)....

I've been hearing a lot about Vatanen... Speaking of Finland... why does TSN have Simila as the backup goalie? I don't remember seeing him in Canada's exhibition match against them and I'm almost a hundred percent sure that he was on the bench about a week ago for Niagara....? Anyone seen Simila on the bench in Saskatchewan?

Okay wait.. scratch that. Simila was named to Team Finland two days ago =p
