Seriously, where's Hans with the Ducks jerseys?

 

[Hockeyfan02]

US needs to cut down on the odd man chances for Latvia.

 

[Mr Brownstone]

Seriously, where's Hans with the Ducks jerseys?

He died in the third movie.

 

[GKJ]

Can we come out of the tunnel next period wearing Ducks jerseys? Is that legal?

This is Latvia...not Iceland

 

[HF_Rangers]

I came back to watch the second and I wasn't impressed at all with this team. They better step it up or we can see a repeat of Nagano. Italians, hide the curtain rods and lamps.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOO

You *****! You *****!

 

[crashlanding]

Mathieu Schneider a bit of advice...don't give the puck up at the blueline, please.

 

[CaptainChara]

What the hell is going on?

thanks for everyone for the posts....stupid work

 

[Archijerej]

Who taught Latvia defense? Jiri Slegr?

Still better than Tom Poti's lessons.

It also doesn't help that Adam Banks is out with a groin pull.

 

[TheDamned]

Man USA looks awful there

and that chicks can't play...I reckon USA could do with Julie 'the cat' Gaffney right now.

I know you can't be talking about the first goal as he was checked from behind, which caused that turnover.

But still, good general advice.

I think its because the fourth forward...are we supposed to have two defenseman?...looks LOST when he tries to join the play or hold the puck in, we really lose stability and scramble to get back into position.

 

[GKJ]

I'm not super-suprised, though. A couple mistakes, plus a couple lucky bounces and Latvia could be up by more than 1. The USA don't have their legs under them, and didn't do something that the other teams who traveled did. They need to dumb their game down a bit, they'll still get a few chances, but Latvia is very capable of pulling this out.

 

[DAebi1]

How has Liles looked? (Just coming home to watch.)

 

[Hashmark]

This is what you get when you leave a world class superstar like Roenick off the team.

 

[firstroundbust]

they'll take their cue from the women's team last night...

 

[Big Daddy]

Wow, US looks flat, probably travel related. Hard to believe that the US can't make better scheduling to get the team in a day earlier like Canada did.

Eh I'm still learning the numbers and whose on the ice, more of a message to the whole d-corps though.

I'd prefer Connie Moreau. She'd have a better chance of finishing than Bill Guerin.

I'll take Cammi Granato too

 

[Riddarn]

Go Latvia!

Seriously though, when will people stop taking wins against Germany, Latvia and Switzerland for granted? Sure, the big 7 are clearly better on paper but those three teams are good enough to pull out an upset against the best of them. That said, I have no doubts that the US will pull out a win in this one when all is said and done.

There was a huge snow storm...

So does Kenny Wu...or better still, get Knucklepuck guy out there...Irbe is old, he can't keep up with the moving puck
