I see no reason to change things. Heck, the only goal allowed was illegal anyway.

I didn't get a chance to see it, prolly gonna check the highlights now that I got a half day of work. But, yeah, don't change a thing, keep Quick in net.

Heard my man MacTruck played a great game, as expected :)

This was what you call a "statement game", probably the best performance by any team in the Olympics thus far.

Not a single player had a rough game. I mean that. Every line was humming in that second period. It's a good game when your fourth line scores twice.

Either Mesz or Sekera because those two were even on the +/- side too

I *think* it was Sekera. I recall hearing that name more often. All three are left hand shots, so that won't help...

Okay are we this good or is Slovakia just bad? Sorry I've been busy & missed the game.

I can't imagine that Slovakia is this bad, with the guys they have on that team(Big Z, Hossa, Mesz, Sekera, Halak just to name a few) - but I think USA is really good and a lot of that has to do with Jonathan Quick in net - I think he's such a calming influence and the guys in front of him know that in big games he won't give up many so it helps them play their game - and the one thing I noticed with USA today is that they didn't really have any jitters, they were calm from the very beginning - it was clear in the Canada game that Canada had some jitters early on
