I think he got off easy because he didn't really get all of him with the elbow or so it seemed on tv, and the fact the refs didn't give him the match penalty (that I think he deserved) is what saved him. I don't totally buy the "star treatment" argument, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was a factor. But I think had he got all of Downie with that elbow and really injured him bad he definitely would of gotten worse punishment, some things you just can't hide from or cover up. I'm sure someone down the line will get revenge on him in some way. But hey we won the game we made it to the semi's let's move on and get back to hockey.

So much for the States being the favorites, 4th place again.
Here's to Canada, lets get that Gold, 2 years in a row would be sweet!
I think we can take Russia, if Pogge is up to the task we should win, but it will be tough, Malkin is a great player, just like with Ovechkin last time around, we need to shut him down and take him off his game.
GO CANADA!!!!

Wooot!! 2-0 after one period, looking great so far. Love the big hits and our forecheck is great, Malkin is useless in his own zone. Keep it going boys!!!

Malkin isn't useless. He made a mistake on the Downie goal but the goalie should have stopped it anyway. I love how Canada can get away with hitting Malkin after every whistle.

Malkin
-3 = me and my line are not playing good defence. Enough said, why do you care what I think about it anyway. Next you'll be complaining that the players are celebrating too much, just like you did last year. Conversation over, Im going to watch the rest of the game and celebrate with the rest of the country you can go on whining and complaing if you want or join the fun.

Last year is water under the bridge as far as Im concerned. Anyway.. I think Malkin is the best young player out there as well. But Canada is doing exactely what it needs to do to win, and taking Malkin off his game and shutting him down is working to a tee, hence the -3 and no points. Im sure we can agree that Canada is playing great. :thumb:
GO CANADA!!

I'll still take Malkin over any other player on the ice. I don't think Gretzky or Lemiuex played any defense either and they couldn't score either if THE ENTIRE OPPOSING TEAM HIT THEM AND SHADOWED THEM ALL GAME.
