I sure hope Brodeur is done and I wouldn't even have him on the bench.
Start Luongo with Fleury backing up.

I agree with Malibook...Luongo should get the next game. Someone has to be the scapegoat here, as long as Luongo doesn't try his Alex Rodriguez/Toskala impression we should be fine.
If you're going to lose, lose now at least, that's all I can take from this game at this point.

Like a said the team with the hot goalie will go all the way. The veterans Pronger, Brodeur and Niedermayer cost us the game. Keith, Seabrook and Doughty were outstanding. You can bet Loungo will be starting against Germany. I would take a chance on Fleury against Russia because they way Canada is playing they have nothing to lose. I think this loss to the US may have taken some of the pressure off Canada because now we don't expect them to win. We don't expect them to beat Russia in quarters, that of course if we beat Germany. The extra game might good for Canada.
Can anyone tell me why Iginla isn't on Crosby's line? For Christ sakes Babcock Iginla had a hat-trick with Sid(I understand it was Norway)but they seem to have chemistry.
I like latina's optimism lol "least we had an extra game to get better" lol
Pronger? forgot about that dolt. Soon as I heard he was on the team I was like "wtf"???
One more thing then I'll shut up: I thought teams were supposed to get better the more they played? They kicked Norway's ass. Got ass fucked (IMO) by the swiss, and now did a front and back and around the world by the US.
I don't know what they expected from the US but giving one great period and 5 minutes into another ain't gonna cut it......

I never liked the way Mike Babcock coached during the Olympics. I mean not playing Crosby enough in clutch situations. Crosby is the best Canadian with a sense of urgency. The game against the US not calling time out. Ron Wilson out coached Mike Babcock tonight. Babcock had last change and Wilson still got match ups he wanted. Babcock you got out coached by a Leaf coach. HAHAHA!Can anyone tell me why Iginla isn't on Crosby's line?

outcoached and out managed by leafs coach and GM...lol...
Did anyone here the commentators when they said "babcock hasn't coached a CDN team since 1993"??
Can you blame him? lol

We won a silver today in long track speed skating but we should have won more and won some last night.It's bad enough we're not winning any medals. Now this?
Extra game against Germany on Tuesday, then play Russia on Wednesday...if they had won tonight they would've went straight to the semi's (I believe).What's this extra game? Who's playing who for what medal hasn't been set has it?
Yzerman picked Babcock only because he coaches the Dead Wings. I would have taken a chance on the San Jose coach Todd McLellan or at least have him on the coaching staff.outcoached and out managed by leafs coach and GM...lol...

Maybe the Canadian coach is used to coaching all the Russians he has on his Red Wings, and a different style of play.
Maybe he's not the best fit to coach the national team.
Maybe Brodeur should be benched.
Maybe Crosby should play with Igninla.

Yes. Instead the USA, Russia, looks like Sweden and Finland will qualify for Quarters as the top 4 teams. They get to rest. But Canada could use the extra game to get their act together. Make pronger the 7th defencemen against Germany, let him ride the bench or better yet get him on a plane to Philadelphia, he was awefull against the US, awefull all tournament.Extra game against Germany on Tuesday, then play Russia on Wednesday...if they had won tonight they would've went straight to the semi's (I believe).
Maybe Babcock should have called a time out near the end of the game. That a fuckin no brainer. Yet he didn't call one.Maybe the Canadian coach is used to coaching all the Russians he has on his Red Wings, and a different style of play.

Ze Germans have some big boys and always play a basic, pragmatic style.
I hope they don't make us too sore for the showdown against Russia, but we could use the extra shooting practice lol.

The Russians have faltered to Slovakia. So anything could happen.the hungry Russians will eat them up.
We have to muscle through. It's gut check time. Swallow those egos and play like the elite level team we are supposed to have. The next weak game we have will be our last.
That was absolutely terrible. Perry should be benched for the next game.And Perry? Letting that guy score one handed? Bench that fucker. He should and he could have had that puck out of danger but didn't.
I'd actually send him home on the next flight.......FUCK that was a rookie move.....
Young Perry also got that dumb penalty that led to a 2 goal U.S. lead. Please tell me he is not a Saskatchewan boy.And Perry? Letting that guy score one handed? Bench that fucker. He should and he could have had that puck out of danger but didn't. ...
