Don't break up the Shark line; they're the best line in the NHL right now, so breaking them up makes no sense. Don't blame Yzerman; what other choices could he have seriously made? Don't blame Babcock for picking the <i>greatest goaltender of all time</i> to start this game. Seriously, in a game as closely contested as this, shit happens. My only criticism comes from him breaking up the top line to begin with after the Swiss game, effectively putting a big "Fuck You" sticker on Iginla's back. That was a panic move. Seriously, Canada. Stop pining for MASSIVE CHANGES. Maybe the intense, blinding pressure to win this by the casual fan - who doesn't know as much as they think they do - is part of the problem?

And hey maybe break up that Shark line sooner next time. Thankfully Canada has a tuneup with Germany to get things back to normal.
