Uh oh....

The refs gonna call a penalty on usa or naw? lol

 

[elocomotive]

U.S. defense have fanned on a lot of pucks, let them go right past them. That one bit them.

I love women's soccer and women's tennis. Find both to be as good or better than the male product. But it's honestly kinda hard to watch a whole women's hockey game. The passing isn't crisp. A simple drop back to the point is an adventure. Backhand passes and shots aren't much better than beer leagues I've played in.

You gotta be kidding me, interference again by an American player and no call.

Ahhh, haha. Gotcha. Women's tennis is better to me. The speed and play is similar to men's tennis from 20 years ago. Men's tennis is terrible now. Very little net play. A snoozer for me personally.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Another one ... eagle eyes on anything a cdn does

 

[BGDave]

Someone call Fred Billetnikoff. These US girls are having trouble holding their sticks. They need some stickum.
