I think Justin Pogge could have gotten a shutout.
I kid .... Price was awesome. I felt dirty cheering for him.
I'm sure they will just say the Canadian defense was so good he wasn't *that* great. Like how the IIHF somehow gave Lundqvist top goalie, which is hilarious. Hiller was better than Lundqvist, Rask virtually identical (granted missing the semifinal).
EDIT: or Lundqvist got all-star team goalie, not sure. I was going off twitter which said he was named top goalie, which made no sense.

Canada is just too good. But it was expected. Finland surprised many, led by Teemu Selanne the MVP of the tournament and our hearts. Sucks for Russia though.

Jeff 'Pablo Escobar' Carter was pretty impressive.
I wish Doughty wasn't stuck playing for a Sutter.

Well, besides losing the crown jewel of the Olympics, they still got the gold and total tallies down... So they should be happy either way

I can't wait for Katz to spin the gold as a win for the Oilers organisation.
I will eat crow on Carter, he was quite good. This was a coming out party for Benn though, what a tournament for him. Doughty has raised his play to an amazing level. What a team.
Price got goalie of the tournament, but yea, haters can eat shit now. Undefeated in 10 international games, MVP in the WJ's, Calder run, and Olympics. People laughed and gave me shit when I said he was a top 5 goalie.
It's been fun cheering for a team with a forecheck. Sigh, back to our regularly scheduled Leafs.

I was going to write a long witty reply but this all I can do because of budget.
Not sure if he raises his game this much, or if Sutter really holds him back, but I've never seen Doughty play this well. He was incredible, and every time I've watched the Queens this year he's seemed average to good. If Sutter is really holding him back that much, he should be replaced.

I guess I'm of the same mind, Red. I don't watch many Kings games so my exposure to his game is pretty limited, but wow, he never looked flustered, impatient, desperate.

Bullshit! Kessssssselllllllllll
Kessel uses a phone with a slide out keyboard? What is this, 2006? What a #Beta.
Edit: or is that a smartphone with the keyboard showing? Regardless #Beta status.
Fight me.
That's why Bourque hasn't done anything this season. Yes of course, the only reason.
I think if they already have one, then they'd want the other more. But for players who have neither, it would probably vary depending on the person and where they're from.
I bet for most athletes from countries where hockey is part of the culture like Canada and Russia, they'd want gold more. You have an entire country behind you.
At least the Blues' players made it through without horrible olympic injuries (except for the giant hole in Halak's psyche, but that was already there). Armstrong needs to get a goaltender or fire himself.
Eric Brewer has a gold medal, which should be incontrovertible proof that a gold is inferior to the Stanley Cup.
I'd rather have a cup than a gold medal.
Hopefully they play him every game and ignore his defensive lapses so they fall down the standings
Brett Lebda has a Stanley cup ring, doesn't freaking Nick Kpryeos have one too?

I'd rather have a cup a thousand times over. Harder earned.
As much as I wanted Subban to play and felt he should have played was he really shafted when the team won gold and only gave up 3 goals?
Thats true, but he's still clearly better then some players. Same with MSL, it's hard to be upset with their exclusion when they won gold, but the exclusion is still perplexing.
