ADJHDGJDGJ KDJ FVDJPDSV[PDVDSVSDPOV! I mean... I knew we'd be lucky win Bronze with this roster considering who put it together, and an OK coach... but fuck this is disappointing. Also, I'm not expecting a Bronze

Looks like USA stayed out late last night. A step behind and chasing. When they have the puck it is time for a dump in and a line change

 

[IndyAndy]

^^^ IDK: The PP effort looked good - So did the defensive effort that followed it.

 

[davnlaguna]

Kessler has as many saves as Rask

Looks like the USA don't want to play this morning.

3rd is the 2nd first loser.

Nobody gives a shit.

[quoipourquoi]

Weird call.

 

[hokiehi21]

A hockey game is a hockey game!! Damn Patrick Kane missed the penalty shot!!

 

[IndyAndy]

Weird call.

Sounds like this rule used to exist in the NHL - but doesn't any more.

Can't imagine this game keeps up at this pace for the whole time. Seems like both teams are pushing for the first goal, probably with the hopes of 'protecting the lead' mode.

JVR got hit in the throat it looks like.

Yeah: I didn't see Finland/Sweden, but USA/Canada was obviously very up-tempo. Can't imagine that there will be much left in the tank for Team USA come the 3rd period.

 

[stammer78]

Probably not the way USA wants to end the 1st period with Van Rymsdyke hunched over. Hope he is ok.

 

[davnlaguna]

I put 5 pound weights in the American skates for practice. Thought it would make the faster during the game. I may have forgot to remove them

Call me a trader but I bet on Finland. I'm pissed the us showed up. I thought they looked good in the 1st
