Button nailed it with regard to Cameron. I've been saying it the whole time - this was the worst coaching I've seen in a high profile tournament...and it's not even close.
Craig, I've been scouting goaltending in this country, I've been doing that for years, and the biggest failure is in how goaltenders are trained and developed in this country right now. One thing I noticed with team Canada, they like these "Instagram" play, cut the BS fancy plays, play a more direct game in a short tournament and the coach was the wrong coach right from the beginning.
sweden lost the semifinal to an inferior team because they didnt fix their boxplay.. finland won it because they had the best goaltender. and that willander penalty was brutal.
i agree with craig button, but also like to expand his views.. EVERYTHING about this tournament is WAY to sensationalistic.. its a one-game elimination tournament. why cant we just enjoy it - instead of patternize everything. canada lost in the quarterfinals, because they had no direction as a team, they played bad quarterfinal. and that was that. in the grand scheme of things, its totally meaningless.
They just finished slaying 4 of the giants in the league… the fan base is rejuvenated now that the team is showing what it will be capable of when they become contenders, when a fan base like the habs fan base gets going that’s what people think because they are massive
5 of the last 5 Stanley cup champions on their Hardest roadtrip of the year? Then first game home its a ot win? When everyone was counting the team out? Absolutely love it@@Dole_daufield
Appreciate Craig’s honesty at the end
The knock on Hutson at the start of the year was his size. He has a way to absorb hits. Pretty cool to watch
Thanks for the information Craig button
Judging by last night's results Miller has definitely heard the trade rumors.
Canada left better players off their roster.....

Hockey Canada put the wrong team on the ice - too many first rounders were not there (at least 4 or 5)
The US keep their players together as a development team in the USHL, whereas, Canada has a short term All Star team. There is a difference.
TSNs main panel people (so not Craig) should take a break from that tournament, they are the ones who make it so toxic.
Did Button just get out of bed?
the media's at fault ... dhali ... including you guys ...

Loces is the second coming of Ken Dryden

Montreal beat a crappy Canucks team
But they act like they won the cup

They didn’t act like anything, they gave flowers to Hutson and deservedly so!
Crappy or not it’s a 3rd period comeback against a supposed “good team”
Except montreal fans know what it feels like when they win the cup, vancouver fans have no clue, canucks overachieved last season
Go leafs eh?loser Gordon
