World Cup: Sep 2 GDT - Russia vs. USA

[Rabid Ranger]

I saw on the intermission report of the Finnish - German game that Modano is supposed to be a go tonight. That's good news as long as he doesn't get hurt any more than he is. Also, we will get Rafalski back as well.

That is good news!

4-1 USA. I cant see Russia coming close.

 

[Teezax]

Russia's talent comes with one on one play, if the Americans can play a good defensive game, and avoid turnovers, they should win this one, especially with Esche handling the net.

USA 3
Russia 2

Good news indeed..

I predict USA wins 4-2.

Well no Ovechkin tonight. He is going to eat hotdogs and watch the game instead.

Looks like Barry Melrose was wrong...again.

 

[HellsBells]

No Overhypechkin tonight ???

4-1 USA.

Tkachuk, Guerin, Drury & Leetch

Kovalchuk

 

[BruinsGirl]

Too bad...I wanted to see this kid... (Ovechkin) Oh, well.

 

[Bill McNeal]

And Andrei Markov is irate that he's scratched?

Considering the problems Russia's had with players turning down offers for this tourney, you'd think they'd try not to p.o. any more people

The first 10 minutes will be determining as the US will have their usual home game momentum.

I can't predict a result here, if the Russians had their A team, I'd say 5-2 Russia, but there, I hae no idea how they're going to play.

Go Russia!!!

 

[Jovo Cop]

Dudes.... does someone really think that Russia could win this one? All the best goalies refused to play. Their prepairing for this tournament went "päin persettä." I think it will go 4-1 to USA.

At least they didnt bring that fat kid the Flames drafted ..they had to cut the bottom of his shirt at the World juniors in Halifax so he could move in it the fat plug .They say he ate like a whole desert tray in halifax .

 

[X0ssbar]

I hope Hull has a better game - he played terrible on Tuesday.

USA 4
Russia 2

GO YANKS!

 

[lux_interior]

Who's starting in goal for Russia?

I take it Esche will get the start for the USA. Or will Dipietro get a look?

 

[lux_interior]

15 minutes to game time...oh but they have to do the pregame BS.

 

[Preds]

3-0 Russia

Kovalchuk (3)

 

[nomorekids]

Game On!!

 

[Randall Graves*]

The goalies will be the wild cards, I don't trust Russias effort but Bryzgalov could keep them in the game.

 

[Oil_slick9416*]

wow. the russian anthem is really beautiful, i really liked it

 

[Marshall]

US with another slow start. Esche has had to be on his game.

 

[Moskau]

Afinogenov is flying, he has like 3 shots already...

 

[Anthony*]

where is kovalchuk?

 

[Moskau]

Roenick is such a tool.

If someone in the stands shot him in the head Roenick would praise how great Esche looks.

 

[Vic Rattlehead*]

The only way russia has a chance is if the game goes to shoot outs.

5-2 USA!

0-0 after one period..... With Russia outplaying the US.

I think there is something wrong with this thread. My post is on page five and I was the last one to post(I posted a minute ago) and posts on page six say september 3rd...... Moderators should be reading this.
