LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUC
YEAH! Player of the game for Canada with his 1 goal and just great defensive play.
Why was it that I felt more comfortable when Letang-Bourdon defensive pair was on the ice compared to like Parent-Staal or Russell-Franson? Though all defensemen were good, my heart just felt like it was jumping out everytime the others were on the ice. XDDD;;;
Kristopher Letang set-up both powerplay goals by Canada. One was from a broken powerplay in the first period where he just passed the puck to Bourdon and he one-timed it in. The second one was in second period where Cogliano passed to Letang, and he skated closer to the Swedish box, shot it and Marchand was there for the rebound.
Overall play of Canada was....... well they kind of stepped back in the last half of the game and Sweden just took it to them. They were also, surprisingly, less physical than the Swedes. Sweden really outchances and out shot Canada, plus they got quality chances when our defense just slacked... Thank God for Carey Price and saving our asses.
Hmm what else... There was this funny time when the commentator accidentally called Tommy Pyatt "Taylor Pyatt" XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD But Tom Pyatt ......... well I don't know if I should compare him to his brother, since I've only really watched him in World Juniors, but form this game, I think he's a good skater and puck handler. Fast, too. XD
But anyway. :D Next game is against Team USA tomorrow~ Team USA lost to Germany this morning in overtime, so they'd be really pumped next game. I just want us to win, and hopefully keep the shutout streak while we're at it. :B But as Price said, wins are much more important to him right now than keeping that shutout streak alive.
But man.. full day of hockey action on TSN tomorrow:
Team USA vs Team Canada
Montreal Canadiens vs Washington Capitals
Calgary Flames vs Vancouver Canucks
:P I don't think anyone can move me from the couch tomorrow. HAHAHA
Go Canada Go!
