i would have thought the college kids would give the QAR a better game.

USA could have used that speed and youth in these games

 

[adsfan]

They have to get Greenway off the ice.

Yes, Kovy keeps yapping at him, the refs do NOTHING, and he is getting angry.

Yapping isn’t a penalty.

 

[varsaku]

That’s the problem with NCAA kids at this level. They may be uber talented, but their inexperience was glaringly evident this game; easily exploitable againt a team like Russia.
Having them on the roster is a catch 22.

It’s a chance you will have to take. A team filled with college kids could either work out great or fail spectacularly. With this team you are basically guaranteed to be a mediocre team. I would have taken the chance and hope it worked out.

 

[NyQuil]

Now the question is whether Kovy says something stupid in the handshakes.

 

[heynowbababooey]

USA should wear Mighty Ducks jerseys next game.

 

[adsfan]

Yapping isn’t a penalty.

It depends on what he is saying. Don't they have Unsportsmanlike penalties in IIHF?

 

[Alex K]

Well, it was unexpected. Really liked our game today, there's still hope for medals.

 

[NyQuil]

Why he would pass up that shot blows my mind.

Just take the loss and move on.

 

[NyQuil]

Coaches didn’t shake hands.

 

[adsfan]

I hope that Granato uses his anger to motivate the team. They need to step it up in future games.

 

[Like Wall]

Can anyone tell me, which league US team players mostly come from? AHL?

 

[Stammertime91]

As an American, that was not surprising.

Also as an American, if Russia manages to lose the gold medal, I will rightfully laugh my ass off.

 

[Like Wall]

Coaches didn’t shake hands.

Why would anyone shake hands with Znarok?

 

[ovikovy817]

Nice win and first place in the group.

 

[ThaiTanicDK]

USA is rip?

 

[heynowbababooey]

kovalchuk is a pos. Hope he stays in the khl. I hope russia loses during a medal game so he can skate off the ice before the anthems play again.

Try KHL and other Euro leagues.

Three from the AHL, 4 if you count Gionta playing one game for Rochester.

AHL? From ten years ago maybe.

You gotta be kidding, I don't think we play like the best team.

Why is he a pos?

AHL players on two-way contracts to the NHL aren’t allowed to go.
