[Jacob]

I'm thinking 2-1 USA. They may even blank Russia.

 

[Proffessor G DIDDY]

I have to admit Russia have been playing than their figures suggest. Lets not forget that Ovechkin had hat trick last time they played, which was his debut match. But the Russian coaching staff have not been good, they definitely should refine their lines of attack and their defense needs to be slightly more offensive. Semin and Tunik should definitely be in the top two lines. Same with Ezhov and Komaschev. This will make the Russian squad a lot better.

4-1 Russia, empty netter for the last.

On paper, and with the last few games considered, it looks as though the US should wipe them; but Russia has a tendency to show up for these sorts of games.

 

[fan75]

4-3 United States.

 

[leafaholix*]

6-4, Russia.

Ovechkin explodes.

 

[William H Bonney]

USA 5 (O'Sullivan 2, Parise, Werner, Kesler)

RUS 4 (Ovechkin, Malkin, Semin 2)

 

[Slick Nick]

4-2 Russia

Finaly our guys will make an effort to play as team.

 

[teme]

5 - 3 USA, lots of penalties and Russians will find some whole new ways on top of the familiar ones to self-destruct.

Here's an interesting article on the U.S./Russia match-up:


http://www.usahockey.com/usa_hockey/main/home/04wjc_martelqa/


If the U.S. can stay disciplined, and capitialize on their power plays they should win the game. I say the U.S. will pull out a 5-3 victory.

Alright, enough with the rediculous predicitions - let's drop the puck.

rediculous? oh no .. this game will not be close ... all or nothing!

5-1 for Russia or 1-5 for USA
