So anybody here in the States or north of the border still awake and ready to watch USA v. Canada II: Electric Bugaloo in the WJC semis So can I be the obnoxious American for just one minute? USA Beating Canada to go to the gold medal game and beating them quite handily: Also, DAT Captain, DAT Johnny Hockey, and more importantly DAT Gibby! Insert token "we were robbed" comment here. I didn't see the game but I heard the team played terribly. Sometimes the Canadian teams get a little too cocky and this is the price they pay for it. Well, at least Gally has a chance at winning gold. Nice to see our other prospect Collberg wiped out the Russians. Future's looking great here. Oh Canada tried to play like the broad street bullies this year and paid for it. I haven't checked the boxscores as well yet but I'll still probably blame Subban.

Let's a couple soft goals but fights really hard to let in the game winning goal. Edit: Looked at the highlights, Subban let in 4/16 and three came from his glove side. Awful just awful. He was the worst goalie in training camp so it makes sense he was the starter this year.

The small group meetings are over for now. It would appear this could be an interesting day and not in a good way. #NHL #NHLPA

Spott made some really bone-headed decisions throughout the whole tournament (like why not give Morgan Rielly more minutes?) and it cost them. Obviously this team should have done much much better and I think you can blame the Canadian coaching staff for their poor decisions and seemingly going through the motions.

Most of the NHL players in Finland have left the country and headed back to North America. Pavelec, Eller, Peverley, Koivu, Karlsson, just to name few.

Everyone's heading back to the US just to be told to their faces that the lockout will continue.

I don't feel like talking about the lockout. I feel like talking about Sexy Gretzky. {Spoiler}

Yeah bad coaching, dirty undisciplined team, and horrible goaltending costed the medal. Like why wasn't Mackinnon and Druin not playing together since they have chemistry? Druin isn't getting the respect he deserves because of his size from draft scouts. The guy plays like Eberle. Not a fast or big player but very cerebal and a good two way player with a hell of a wrist shot and playmaking. The one thing I'm not looking forward to is everyone blaming Nugent Hopkins for not winning even though he lead the juniors with 15 points but I guess everyone wanted something like 20+ points from him. One man is not going to get you a gold medal even if it was Gretzky himself.

Doug MacLean tweets “Making progress. Not tonite but will be done. Motivation is to play more than 48 games..nice change in whats motivating each side.”
this is becoming too much of a cocktease for me.
