And on a more serious note : Russia plays catasrophically bad. Just 2 fluke SHG. That's all.

USA > Russia :D
 
Other than a few odd breakaways that we were able to finish, I think that USA has outplayed us. They played with more passion and more heart. They were more physical. The goals were mostly the result of their defensmen pinching in. On the last goal, Tkachuk has attracted both Volchenkov and Tyutin. Very untypical of Tyutin to make such a mistake.

Should be Zherdev but it's Datsyuk.

if they were both in the tourney, wouldn't Datsyuk get priority to wear his number due to his experience?

Funny statement about the U.S's best defenseman in the tourney thus far. I don't see anyone else being matched up against the other teams best line every night.

Being USA's top defenseman means nothing. It only shows their weakness when Hatcher is their best defenseman, which he isn't IMO. He's a shell of his former self and is hurting his team more than he helps it. And I'm the biggest Hatcher fan you'll find on these boards.. He looks slow, makes dumb penalties and is poor positionally.

And I wonder why we lost the two games against the quality teams.

Why SHOULD it be Zherdev? Even if both were on the team, Datsyuk would get the option to wear it.

Is this just the standard Red Wing hate again coming from Columbus? ;)

Maybe you can play us and we can figure out, as Homer Simpson would say, "who the suckiest bunch of suck sucks that ever did suck" are. :dunno:

Boy was that Homer quote ever butchered. :biglaugh:

Tkachuk was holding Volchenkov.

ämmm aha :shakehead
 
Ugh, Rafalski looked awful on that 2 on 1. Big goal for the USA late in that period. They really need to prove something in this game or Finland will trounce them.

I don't think it mattered that much on the goal. Volchenkov got Tkachuk and Fedor should've gotten the other forward. He hasn't made that mistake since... I don't know, October?
 
I am actually genuinely not impressed with the way we played the 1st period. The USA had way too much room and we were much too sloppy entering the zone.
