00:00He, in the first period, I don't know if I agree, the whole game, first period I would, I did say like I thought he was their best player.
00:06Because, what, it was like Sweden was like, hit in the mouth immediately with the speed of Canada, and like all they were doing was chipping the puck forward, chipping the puck forward.
00:17Who was the one dude that was holding onto the puck, and like, was actually possessing it? It was Darlene.
00:21And, he actually, they had like no shots in the first period.
00:26The one chance they did was Darlene holding the puck, holding the puck, oh, and a lane opened up, and he found Eric Sinek backdoor who missed it.
00:33Could have easily been a goal.
00:35I tweeted this, I was watching Darlene every shift, the way I would imagine a parent watches their kid out on the ice playing junior hockey.
00:44Like, I was getting, like, I'm watching him primarily, he makes even a little good play, and I'm like, alright, there we go, that's my guy.
00:52And then, when he is, he got benched.
00:56I'm like yelling, like, what, what did he get benched for?
01:00And overtime goes for seven minutes, and same, I saw Hedman, Hedman was great, I thought, in regulation.
01:07But he's definitely not like a three-on-three merchant, like he's not skating, you know, up and down the ice like he would have five years ago.
01:16So, when I look up, and I see Darlene had the fewest shifts of their six defensemen, I'm legitimately mad by that.
