World Cup: Aug 31 GDT - USA vs. Canada

[LuckyLUC20]

JR is hilarious

I second that.

I wish he was playing though.

 

[Liquidrage*]

The dilemas of international hockey.

I hate Canada. Their national anthem sucks. And I'm an American.
But Guerin I hate and he takes out Gagne and I'm a Flyers fan.

I'M TORN..TORN I TELL YA!!!

 

[LaVal]

damnit, i'm sick and tired of watching Jovanovski get injured.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

what's up with melrose's plain suit.....
and gagne......! just got smashed....
go usa* but don't hurt gags

Guerin can't play a clean game. He's such a cheapshot artist. I hope he dies by the same sword he's using.

 

[Perry Turnbull]

Goal !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Cole Caulifield]

St-Louis !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[loudi94]

Too much firepower and too many chances!! 1-0 Canada

 

[struckmatch]

CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 - 0

St. Louis!

 

[Shiv5r 7]

Martin St.louis !!!

 

[struckmatch]

Esche With A Huge Save!!!!!!!!

 

[Liquidrage*]

If it wasn't for Esche it would be about 5 - 0 right now.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

 

[blah]

Esche has 15 saves, already?

USA looks flat. Canada looks very good.

 

[Liquidrage*]

USA looks flat. Canada looks very good.

US looks like they don't have a single great player in their prime.

And sadly, they don't.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

USA looks flat. Canada looks very good.

It would be fun to see the "time in the offensive zone" statistic. I bet it would be lopsided.

And sadly, they don't.

Exactly, unlike 96, where Hull, Modano, Weight were all in their prime.

CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 - 0

St. Louis!

With a nice pass from Thornton! (sorry, I couldn't resist!)

US PP to start the third.

Not to mention, LeClair, Amonte, JR, and Chelios was not far from his, etc...

US has failed to develop their replacements. US had a great set of players in the early to mid 90's. But since then, squat.

First point since the regular season ended. Good for him!!

true, but it seems like the US's talent comes in waves..and I think in the next 5 years, you're going to see US hockey at its best with guys like Parise, Suter, O'Sullivan, Thelen all coming into the league..and guys like DiPietro, Martin, Liles only getting better .

[dafranchz]

What is Roenick talking about..."Robyn Regher is playing with Team Canada because his home nation of Brazil failed to qualify for the tournament."

Ok...am I lost? When has Brazil ever been considered a International Hockey Threat?

I hope we kill it.
