So are these, actually.

Also, Halak is a great goalie. Screened, close range, good shot DENIED

Anyway, go Finland.

You can’t honestly say anyone in the WCH sucks, really.

I would say the team was badly structured and misguided from the start, but to get a place on a World Cup team you have to be a damn good player. Period. Even though some arguably better ones were skipped they are still good.

But if you want my opinion the trouble started at the top. Burke, specifically. He tried what he knew full well failed during his time with the Leafs, which was building a brute-force team. On top of that, the idea of building a team specifically to take out one other team is idiotic. It was a single-purpose weapon that in the end couldn’t even manage that. Almost all of those goals from either side were rough-edged. USA was at least forcing Canada to play the way they’d wanted but they still weren’t denting it. What happens when you leave your very best out of a best-on-best? Yup...

And seriously, what does Burke have against Kessel. He scratched him from the Leafs. He glossed over him here. I know he had surgery, but he’s going to be playing in 2 weeks anyway...

Everyone has weak part to their game, and for Henry, it’s poke checks
