great hockey game..russ/check repub
 

this is gonna be good :tro:

that was a BIG open ice hit by Ovie

i love watching him play. so glad the caps have him!! but yeah, that was huge.

Team USA is getting owned but Ryan miller is a complete stud

it's an almost meaningless game but 4-2 on the powerplay goal?

sweet!

sidenote: live olympics > taped olympics

u.s. looks weak shorthanded. 1:54 played almost entirely in their zone before the score. good goal play but 4-3.

ridiculous. canada should win. they have to get it out.

miller has so many saves.

pulled the goalie and u.s scores.

u.s. gets a day off and canada gets germany.

Miller was awesome. Kesler and Kane had a very strong games as well.

OMG what a game. It felt like the juniors all over again. I swear I thought they were going to OT. Miller was unbelieveable and that goal by Kessler was ridiculous. Nothing would make me happier than to see Canada lose to Germany and get knocked out. I don't know why, but all of a sudden I have all this animosity to Canada. I'm not sure where it came from, I think something about the way they heckled the US kids at the juniors. But I would rather see the Russians win the gold over the Canadiens. But a great night for the U.S. even though they were outplayed for most of the night.

They were dominated all night but miller was just amazing. Germany cannot beat Canada they will get smoked.

This next game should be really good too. I think the fins can upset. They play real hard.

Caught the end of it .... good game.

watched the whole thing, it was amazing. canadians outshot them, but usa got the numbers where it mattered. thank goodness for rafalski and miller, who looked fantastic-much better than brodeur.

Was shocked broduer made that baseball bat mistake. Probably best goalie to ever play and he makes a mistake like that.

Miller was sublime, rafalski is a stud. 42-22 shots

the loss means canada probably plays russia in the quarter finals.

that makes it a bigger loss for canada than the win was for the u.s.

i wouldn't put a bronze for the u.s. out of reach. at some point you have to ignore paper talent and look how they're actually playing.

sweden/russia/u.s.

Canada/USA/fins

:tro:

the effort on the empty neter was ridiculous! but reflected the team effort all night.:tro:
