Game Thread: USA vs. Slovakia 7:30AM EST

I saw the back of Stardsta's jersey, and for a moment, I thought it said "Stardust," which would have been awesome.

Although Stardsta's a pretty sweet name itself.

Wow. Wasn't expecting such a shellacking. Us look really good

The US not taking penalties is great as well. Of course, why take penalties when you have the puck all the time. (Russia makes it 3-1 on the PP...Kovy I think)

Russia won't win a gold medal while Kovy is on the team.

Bring on the squirrels!

 

[Darkstone42]

All these shots (all referring to a small number) from the Slovakian team are low on Quick's pads. You're not going to beat him down there.

First penalty by the US now.

I don't mind Quick getting some work in like this. Let him feel the puck a little.

Slovenia scores again, 3-2. Geez Russia, what are you doing? Sidenote Geno with 1-2. Sorry, just keeping us all up to date!

Well, if he and Ovechkin are meshing, that's good for Russia at least.

But they really ought to be beating Slovenia by more.

Shouldn't have mentioned the penalty thing, hahah.

I appreciate it...this early in the morning I can't be bothered to reach 3 feet for my remote.

First goal was OV from Geno, second goal was Geno from OV. Third was Kovy from Geno on the PP.

 

[Darkstone42]

It'll be good to get the kill some work, though, at least. Make sure the system's good in a low-pressure situation.

Awesome 2nd period GO USA 7-1

 

[Darkstone42]

First goal was OV from Geno, second goal was Geno from OV. Third was Kovy from Geno on the PP.

That whole line could be really dangerous if they get any kind of space.

We have to leave for class in 15...and my roommates are dead silent.

 

[pixburgher66]

Well, I may dislike you for valid reasons Mr. Orpik, but I'm perfectly fine when you're the 7th D and you're basically a PK specialist. That's actually a very valid use of you. *tips cap to Blysma*
