  Can't wait! Canada looks absolutely sloppy early against Norway, more entertaining than I would have imagined this one to be

  It will be. USA will have to shut down the biggest threat, Malkin. Other than him, Russia looked very off against Slovenia.
  
  Happy to see the scoring was spread out today and I love the lines and D pairings. Scoring, 2 way play, and grit on every line.

  The USA is fast and fast. IMO Canada needs to sit Carter and get Subban in the lineup

  Agreed on Carter and I think Babcock is too afraid to play Subban even though he's an X factor. USA is going to fly under the radar yet again and play up to the underdog role and they thrive doing that.
  
  Canada should role lines like this:
  
  Kunitz-Crosby-St. Louis
  Tavares-Getzlaf-Perry
  Sharp-Toews-Nash
  Benn-Bergeron-Marleau
  Duchene
  
  Keith-Weber
  Bouwmeester-Pietro
  Vlasic-Doughty
  Subban
  
  Loungo
  
  Who cares about Canada though

  Oh, and Zetterberg is on his way back to Detroit. Swedish docs say if his back stays the same, he could be done for the year.

  Yeah it's a shame, but yeah he's not looking good. Btw Carter has brought it tonight, a natural hat trick right today

  My roommate went to a bar downtown. The bar sent an email out last night saying the tables have all been reserved, and it's now standing room only. Not only that, but they said to get there at least an hour early to get in. So he got there at 5 am. Hockey people are crazy
