Anyone know if this will be on tv in the US?

 

[Dropkick Alex]

geez, Russia right away...well if USA wins this game it proves that we our true contenders

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Tough to call this one. I think the U.S. has the ability to win this game, but it will come down to keeping the puck out of their own net. I predict a fairly high scoring affair in the U.S.'s favor: 5-3.

 

[clefty]

3-2 is my guess, though I'm not sure which team will win.

USA 4 Russia 2

 

[SIBIR]

3-1 Russia ... last chance for Sbornaja

 

[Panopticon]

I pray to god that Russia wins. If USA wins Finland will have a tough time to get to the quarterfinals.

EDIT: No, wait, I mean I hope that USA wins.

3-1 Russia

 

[Foppa_Rules]

It's 1-0 USA right now....boooooo....

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Looks like the U.S. is carrying play early on. 10 shots already in the 1st period, with Dustin Brown scoring for a 1-0 U.S. advantage.

 

[Foppa_Rules]

Shots are now 12-5 in USA's favor.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Russia coming on. Shots are now even at 15 for each team. Conklin playing well for the U.S.

 

[Foppa_Rules]

Shots are 16-15 USA's lead at the end of the second period.

 

[Simagin]

1 - 1 Yushkevich

 

[Kaizer]

2-1. Bashkirov on PP. Redirect from Guskov shot.

 

[Safir*]

Guskov.

Second assist of the night.

 

[Foppa_Rules]

How has Ovechkin looked? Has he done anything?

 

[Slick Nick]

How has Ovechkin looked? Has he done anything?

A friend said he was the best player on the ice in the first and second period. He also praised Yashin's play.

VPEREEEED

It's 1-0 USA right now....boooooo....

boo?

 

[Kaizer]

2-3 SHG by Drury, but it was Grier who created this goal.

 

[Kaizer]

It's all over. Russia - USA 2-3.

 

[Peter25]

What a nightmare tournament for Russia. They just can´t catch a break.

And their defense sucks. Tverdovsky looks like a minor leaguers now. Yushkevich is slow and the rest of them are no-names with slow feet and poor puckhandling skills.

RSL just doesn´t have any good defensemen.

I am no US hockey fan but congrats to the guys who have showed up for their country. I hope they aren't forgotten when its time for selection for World Cup and especially in Torino 2006.
