14-4

Miller is playing out of his mind tonight!

 

[RhoadsRage]

I don't know who 61 for Canada is, but that guy is huge.

Rick Nash.....plays for Columbus Blue Jackets

 

[Clonefan32]

Miller playing very well, the one he let in was just a great deflection.

 

[cyfan964]

Rick Nash.....plays for Columbus Blue Jackets

The logical next question would be, "Is he Kevin Nashs' brother?"

 

[Clonefan32]

I'm suprised how physical Canada has played.

 

[RhoadsRage]

The logical next question would be, "Is he Kevin Nashs' brother?"

Prob could be....Rick is 6'4 and 215!!!

 

[ZJohnson]

You had to expect this 1st period to be really physical with all the emotion built up for this game.

 

[tman24]

its channel 35 for me

 

[ZJohnson]

Great 1st period..take that all day.

 

[RhoadsRage]

I knew if I put credits down on Canada, the US would play well...........it's working!!!

I wish they had winter olympics every year... Sure helps bridge the gap from football to baseball.

+100000000

This last week has been great hockey. Still another week to go!!!

 

[RhoadsRage]

Just checked....if we do lose this one, we can still get the bye into the quarters if we lose by less than 3 and the Fins beat the Swedes tonight.

I know this isn't at all US related, but in case you missed Ovechkin's hit on Jagr, here it is :

I like our presence in Canada's end thus far, but we need more shots on goal. Brodeur is off his game a little, and if we get another goal, I think it could send Canada into meltdown mode.

Defensively, we haven't made any egregious errors yet, and Miller is playing great. He's gotta keep it up.

 

[RhoadsRage]

Just checked....if we do lose this one, we can still get the bye into the quarters if we lose by less than 3 and the Fins beat the Swedes tonight.

In this scenario the seeds would be as follows
1)Finland
2)Canada
3)Russia
4)US

 

[cyclonefan1983]

If USA wins do they get the #1 seed in the tournament

We have a whole other week to go. If you've enjoyed the hockey so far give the NHL a shot. This year has been the best since the lockout. I have been a lifelong hockey fan but this has been the most enthused I have been about it since 2004. The talent is some of the best ever to play.

It's not just Hockey, its all of them. Curling, downhill, board and ski cross, even biathlon... I love them all!

NHL doesnt play with near the sense of urgency these Olympic hockey games seem to.
