The USA is playig more perimeter than Sweden now :|

Sad that Team USA has been without a doubt the better team in this game, and they are probably going to lose...

 

[GPF]

uh.. what?

matemáticas del torneo ! sabes ???

 

[Ajacied]

Wow.. nice play by Schneider there. He's been really solid defensively this game.. Unlike Chelios.

 

[acr*]

2 minutes left...need to tie this.

 

[btn]

Lets do it USA

The Same Guy Touched It! ****ing Linesman!

 

[Ajacied]

Game over.. 2-1 Slovakia..

 

[acr*]

That sucked.

Where's the icing?

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Wasn't that icing?

 

[sabresrat]

That sucked.

Where's the icing?

Hit the post.

 

[steafo]

went thru the crease

 

[Crossroads*]

YES! What a win by Slovakia.

 

[Phil333]

Bad result. Great hockey game. The kind of game that CAN get casual fans who watched interested in the NHL.

 

[NYR2]

Ugh, I'm so disappointed in this loss.

 

[reidy]

So what does this mean for us to advance?

 

[Hockeyfan02]

US played well. Slovakia just capitalized on their chances and the US couldn't today.

 

[DevilsFan38]

Wow, that was a TERRIBLE call by the linesman. That pretty much cost the US a chance to tie the game.

 

[steafo]

Ugh, I'm so disappointed in this loss.

As am I, very fun game to watch though so it isn't all bad I guess. They played hard just couldn't capitalize. Seems to be our stigma

 

[jacketracket*]

Great game!

 

[GPF]

So what does this mean for us to advance?

Beat Sweden and everything will be okay !!!!

 

[SENSational]

Bad call by linesman. Good exciting game.

 

[sabresrat]

Wow, that was a TERRIBLE call by the linesman. That pretty much cost the US a chance to tie the game.

There are times to whine about officiating, but this is not one. JD was wrong, the linesman was right.

Even if he wasn't, it was just a hold in, not a goal.

 

[DevilFisch]

The Slovakian defense (I'd say about 60% of those scoring chances were blown by Team USA due to a stick or a physical play from the Slovak D) and Budaj played real well, as did the forwards for Slovakia.

I would have liked to see Team USA win and I am a bit dissapointed, but I'm not completely surprised at the results-Slovakia's a good team. A great game to watch, too.

I still think Team USA will do better in the medal round. BRING ON SWEDEN & RUSSIA!

Terrible call at the end of the game when US had the momentum and the extra skater in the zone. That could have quite possibly kept us from the tie. Slovakia did an excellent job clearing rebounds in front of Budja, who was giving them up in spades.
