If we lose I'm never watching hockey again.

 

[Bear12Good]

If we lose I'm never watching hockey again.

If we lose this will be Kane,Pavelski,Palmieri,Faulk,Gosti,Atkinson,JVR,SAAD,Matthews and etc fault(

 

[1Gold Standard]

If we lose I'm never watching hockey again.

you never know in sport, but not happening. Looks as though this team is starting to come together and will be a challenge to beat in the quarters.

Still holding out for my dream final Canada v USA.

 

[ShootIt]

Well can't say I'm surprised that Bjugstad is on the 4th line.

He was lackluster in the regular season, putting it nicely. Any news on him, as I've missed the games so far.

I don't think the line rankings is all that accurate. They'll almost surely get more ice time than the 3rd line

They are often in a random order on the official game sheet and I don't bother with swapping them to match it. I just make sure the combinations are right.

 

[aonb]

thoughts on Dvorak?

Wasn't trying to criticize. More just pointing out that the positions of the lines don't mean too much.

No worries, I didn't take it as a critisism. I was just saying that line order doesn't mean much in international hockey.

 

[Quality Oil]

First game im able to watch - light em up USA!!!

 

[Quality Oil]

Goal!! No mistake there by Nelson

 

[Xokkeu]

Lol these slash on a dropped stick non sense penalties drive me nuts

 

[Quality Oil]

Looked dangerously close to too many men for Italy there.

 

[Quality Oil]

Thomas Larkin aka T-Boss?

 

[Cousin Eddie]

How has Compher looked? Haven't seen a Team USA game yet but he was quite often Colorado's best player during the final month of the regular season. Kid is goooood.

He scored the winner vs Sweden. Ice time is low

 

[JTD]

Fairly mediocre period for the US. Dominating Italy in regards to zone time but other than the Nelson goal, haven't tested Bernard anywhere near enough. Defensemen gotta be better at making plays from the point. A couple times Hanifin was too slow in getting the puck down low to forwards that helped Italy recover and break the play up

Agreed. They've been all over Italy but their o-zone possession has been real sloppy. If they can get comfy and start moving the puck laterally on crisp passes the goals will start flowing imo.

 

[Quality Oil]

Beautiful! And another one, pretty nice pass.

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Isles on the board

 

[tade]

USA don't care. They would rather not be in this game.

 

[Macch]

Never saw Nelson drive to the net like that...

 

[Macch]

That's Lee's office

 

[Quality Oil]

USA don't care. They would rather not be in this game.

Lol yep. USA ready to be won and be back at the hotel already
