Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Miller looks very sharp... and Brodeur can be had if they get in his head. Looking good for the US of A thus far. :ss

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Spoke too soon..... :D

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I'm usually THRILLED to see Eric Staal beat Miller... I am so conflicted. :confused:

USA scores!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Wow.... That was a fun first to watch....

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

What a great first 2 periods....very physical.

GO USA!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Great game.A little hairy at the end but Miller and the boys were outstanding. :usa

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

How bad is Hockey Canada griping right now.

Miller was a big factor in that win. Broduer had some blunders. So proud of the US National team they pulled of an epic win. I disagree with the comparisons to the 80 miracle team, but it was a great win.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Congrats on the win!

US boys came to play, and had the hockey gods on their side tonight.

We'll just have to take the long road now.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I think Canada will be even yougher when they meet the U.S. again in the Gold Medal game. :)

Great game, Miller and Rafalski were awesome.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Brian Rafalski has 4 goals in the Olympics with only 5 for the Wings. He better bring this scoring back with him after the break!

Great USA win, unfortunately now we'll see either Canada or Russia out of the Olympics after the Quarters :td

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Good thing Berschmoozi didn't go to the Olympics!! :r

That does seem a drawback of the tournament...but on the other hand, the USA can't face Canada or Russia until a potential Gold Medal game, which is a good thing. Now we just have to contend with the Swedes, Fins, Czechs or Slovaks. :hn

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

got to twist that bersmoochi knife a little huh.

As to the potential gold medal game it will be interesting to see how Canada responds and if they go to Luongo now. That said given that Canada barely and I mean barely escaped the Swiss, and lost to the US. I have serious concearns as to their ability to beat the Russians. You have a Canadian team with 17 first round picks with a nations pressure on their shoulders. This is the greatest team Canada has ever assembled by most accounts and they almost lost one and lost one in a three game set. They are going to be gripping those sticks very hard. Now they have to win 4 games in 6 days. They know if they lose they will have let down their entire country. The Russians are playing very strong also. I think their is a greater potential for a Russia US rematch.

Listening to Grapes on the Jim Rome show right now. I love Grapes, but his lack of respect for Russians and Europeans is frustrating to say the least. Atleast he is honest in saying if they dont win the Gold it will be national disaster.

I mean he is Ovie so you cant say anything about him being a plug, but damn!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Those holders are TERRIBLE.....:r

The fire would not be the worse thing in the world....but CHRIST they are busy.....

Guess that is one ":td" vote....

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

USA V. Switzerland

Canada V. Russia

Tomorrow is gonna rock! :banger

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I concur:tu

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

You were right in Banter, Matt...Czechs barely survived Latvia. That first shot by Latvia in OT would have been a crazy ending if Vokoun would have knocked it in.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Would have been insane, Norway is making a run now too!

Man I love hockey:D

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Slovs came right back.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I really didn't expect this game to close at all. So good on Norway!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Go Norway! :r

See you here manana! :ih :wo

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Leaving work early for Olympic hockey.....

CANNOT WAIT for the Canada vs Russia game today....

All of Canada has to be a little anxious/worried......no???


GO USA! GO CANADA!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Russia has a LOT of firepower, so if Nabokov plays well, Canada has good reason to be anxious.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

So is Canada or Russia done today.....?

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Whichever one scores less goals is my prediction. :r

I am just hoping for a game that is as intense as the Canada - USA game the other night. :tu

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

No, what I meant is....one is done correct? Either Russia or Canada, both thinking Gold coming in....are going home without a medal.... Correct?


I am not just hoping for a great/intense game, I am expecting one....

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Hey any of you guys watched the pond ice movie on hulu?
Watching it on hulu right now and man its cool, but makes me sad as my son will never know the joy of an outdoor rink unless I build him a synthetic ice rink

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Exactly, sorry I misunderstood. One of the arguably best 2 teams in the tournament won't even see the Medal Round.

USA needs to get the puck past Hiller here.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Yikes it looks like the US poked the Canadian grizzly bear with the stick and he is planning on seeking revenge on the US. 4-1 after 1 with the Russians. This is shaping up to be one of those monster Olympic grudge match games.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Canada was outstanding in the first....Russia has a steep hill to climb.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

6-1 Canada !!!! Go Canada Go !!!!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

If only they BOTH could lose! :r

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

50 years!!!!

7-3 Canada.

Next up either Sweden or Slovakia!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

:r :tu

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

USA - Finland: Friday, 12:00 PST

Slovakia - Canada: Friday, 6:30 PST

Can't wait!!!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

3 will walk away with medals. Only one will be happy.

That's hot

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I guess there was some backlash in the media over the smoking.

Nice to see the mens team get the win against the fins. I was listening to some alleged experts before the gamewho had written the US off and all but assured Canada the Gold. Now granted they were Canadian, but I guess that's why you play the game. I got to admit though I don't like the US chances if they draw Canada. Doing the Canadians 2x in their own house with the pride of their nation on the line will be tough.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

USA will definitely be the underdog again, Mike, but that will only make it sweeter in they can pull it off again.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Go Canada Go!!!!!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Good game by Canada. I really thought they were going to tie it in the 3rd. That shot rang the crossbar. Talk about bad luck good luck. The Slvks were comming on hard and I would have liked there chances in OT if they tied it.

Now it comes down to if Miller can stand on his head one more time for the US. Kind of sucks I will be working during the game. Hope to stream it on my phone. This has the chance to be one of the most physical games in Olympic history. Bodies will be flying.
