wow almost gave up a shorty

I think the PP units need a bit of tweaking. I'm assuming Backes is only in to be a net front presence?

 

[hokiehi21]

SCOAAR 4-1

The route is on 4-1 GO USA

 

[pixburgher66]

Well, that net front presence worked, hahah. Backes whacked in I believe.

 

[Darkstone42]

There's that line you like, Pix!

Man, the work rate is just so much higher for Team USA in this game. And it's paying off.

Also, when Doc said "Martin trying for Callahan, but the referee had other ideas," I got a nice chuckle.

Well that's it....just give the USA the gold now

 

[Darkstone42]

I think that fourth goal is JvR's. Tremendous play.

Missed the first period as I slept through my alarm. From what I have seen though, states look pretty solid.

Love that Captain America goal to open the tournament!

Paul Stastny again! 5-1 Team USA!

Sweet Goal by Stastny!! 5-1 USA!!

 

[pixburgher66]

This Statsny-Patches-Oshie line is great. Dang.

 

[BlueWolfZero]

Slovaks in full quit mode now

 

[Taz_Hokie]

this team is awesome

As a casual fan, how good are the Slovaks? Are we just that damn good or are we playing lesser competition?

 

[pixburgher66]

Well that's it....just give the USA the gold now

Who let him in? DID YOU NOT SEE THE SIGN?! NO ICKY CANADIANS ALLOWED.
