I don't know. If you really watch hockey there are countless infractions that get let go every game. It's how it works. If you call every one the game becomes horrible. You just want to make sure the game is not becoming dangerous and no team is gaining a decided advantage by the calls made during the game.

 

That was an incredibly well refed game. It doesn't get any better and no reasonable fan should be upset at all. No horrible missed calls, Miller got one for a blatant retaliatory penalty on Crosby, who also drew a well earned penalty towards the end of the third.

 

Like Tocchet said, great game by them. That's exactly how you want to see it called. Fair and called the same throughout so everyone knows what is and isn't a penalty.

There was obviously home town bias tonight. That penalty late in the third was a case in point. The Nucks were sloppy in the third but had to beat the reffs and the pens. Poorly officiated if you are looking for equal opportunity. Perfectly reffed if you want the home team to come back...

By the stats alone, technically we still have a couple of the best goalies in the league in Hill and Talbot.  Not sexy names in the least, but the stats are the stats.

 

I just think the big 4 I mentioned along with having Makar back them up will be too much to handle.  How on Earth would any team defend against a Mcdavid Mackinnon Bedard line with Makar as well if Canada decided to stack the talent?

I agree

 

I dont think USA has over taken Canada.

 

Canada up front has a collection of arguably the best play driving forwards and 2 way forwards.

 

Demko and Halleybuck are not Broduer Roy or Hasek.

 

And how do you stop a super line of Crosby - McKinnon - McDavid?

 

Especially when you follow that with guys like Bedard, Point, Stone, Warner, Reinhart,  Thomas, Scheiffle, Barzal, Horvat, Stamkos, Marchand, Konecky and so many more.

 

On defense we arguably have the best shut down guys that can move the puck... Doughty, Petriangelo, Dobson, Morrissey, Pulock... Makar would probably have to Play LD because that's our one weakness I think

 

In goal I like Ingram. I think he is Canada's goalie of the future.

As I've been saying, give Petey top six quality linemates, and watch him prove that he's elite! The fact that he was on pace for a 100 point season while carrying two bottom six wingers shows you just how great he is. Notice he was taking, and winning draws,  in the third after Crosby kept dummying JT. Elite.

I sure hope so trust me. But with the Hugh's, the Tkatchuk's, Mathews, Eichel, Fox, McAvoy, etc, etc, it would be must watch!

Not being able to find a name for our 3rd line is a pretty huge problem though.

Canucks Central has been calling them the life line lately. Seems pretty fitting. They have seemed to breathe life into our team when they began playing so well together, and now we've hit another gear bringing the lotto line back together.
