GDT: Slovakia vs. USA, Feb. 18, 8.00 PM Torino, 2.00 PM EST

[MOGiLNY]

I think Slovakia will win 4:1, but I hope the US wins to help my team get to the 1st place in our group

Knuble with the hat trick and another by Hatcher, and we get up by so much they put Esche in.

Yes! Because I'm a homer! Woo!

Go USA and the Flyers therein by default! Big Win!

Does Miro have the C?

Prediction: Team USA wins 3-1 AND dominates most of the game, too. I think (and hope) they'll be firing on all cylinders today. Budaj is going to make a lot of saves, though.

This is on MSNBC, right?

Nope, it's on NBC.

Should be a really close game, the Slovaks have been great but the USA should pick up their game now that they've had a chance to practice some more. I think the US will need a big game from their goalie (whoever it is) to win.

Reading is fundamental my friend.

Rick DiPietro had to make only 11 saves against Kazakhstan. Should he return to the net on Saturday, as expected, he will surely see a lot more action. And these shots won't be coming off the sticks of unknown players.

Thank you to Mitch for digging that up on the Isles board (which has a fantastic GDT by the way, y'all should check it out.)

It appears that DiPietro may have earned himself another start.

 

[Sotnos]

I kinda expected DiPietro today and Grahame tomorrow.

Chara will eat the U.S. team.

I hope Slovakia wins.

 

[GPF]

The king is dead .. praise the new one .. GO USA !!!

I think the best the US can hope for in this one is a tie. It will be interesting to see how the US tried to handle the Slovak forwards.

Chara will eat the U.S. team.

Do you think we'll have to listen to Lampley during the intermissions, or will they give us Hands of Cement and Chicken Parm?

 

[acr*]

Should be good. I want a win, but I also want Jurcina to score a goal or two.

 

[#37]

Hopefully it will be hard fought and intense till the end. Should be a good one.

I love that NBC is presenting this without commercial interruptuon.

DiPietro in goal, confirmed by NBC

 

[David Puddy]

I love that NBC is presenting this without commercial interruptuon.

I think the Team USA games on USA Network were shown that way as well.

 

[VVV]

Chara will eat the U.S. team.

Tkachuk will eat Chara before that
