GO LATVIA!!!

 

[DaMick]

Dont blame Grahame


blame Chelios he ****ing sucks

 

[crashlanding]

Seriously we need to STOP pinching stupidly, it is burning us bad.

Modano penalty...

 

[RSBPC]

Now I don't like Grahame, but how can you blame him for any of the three?

I have no idea. I just got out of class and turned on the TV 5 minutes ago, he has given up 2 goals in that span (1 he should have had, the 2 on 1 was tough). I haven't seen the whole game, but in my mind I've seen enough. How many shots does Latvia have?

 

[David Puddy]

It's not Grahme's fault. The defensemen are pinching too much. That's leading to 2-on-1's.

(I typed this before JD's comments)

 

[Ajacied]

Stupid penalty by Modano..

This isn't looking good..

 

[Mr Brownstone]

We're getting outshot, outhustled, outworked, and completely outclassed right now.

This period can't end soon enough IMO.

I guess I saw this coming.

 

[MLH]

The 2nd was easily stoppable, if it even deflected it hardly changed directions.

The 3rd was a great shot, but goalies that aren't average make tough saves.

Bad goalies leave people to say "those weren't really his fault".

Can we come out of the tunnel next period wearing Ducks jerseys? Is that legal?

 

[Mr Brownstone]

How many shots does Latvia have?

Well, they've outshot us this period and two of their goals are odd man rushes and one is on the PP with plenty of bodies in front. Number doesn't matter, quality does.

 

[ZombieMatt]

Wow, was I ever shocked when the coverage switched over to USA/Latvia game and saw it 3-2. Still a lot of hockey left.

Even as a Dipitro hater I can tell you he would have at least stopped the 3rd goal because thats to his blocker side as opposed to the glove side on Grahame.

 

[Basher]

What the hell are we (USA) doing? Our defensemen are pinching on every play and aren't learning from 2 goals we've given up due to pinching thus far. Modano with a stupid penalty, and Latvia, yes LATIVA, have the momentum. We look pathetic.

SHUT THE TV OFF!

 

[Baron Von Shark]

Sad...

 

[Mr. Penguin]

Good god I love this! Ha ha!

SARAUJ LATVIJA!!!!!!!!


Oh please hockey gods, let Latvia beat the disgusting USA team!

I'll have to see the second one again. That third goal was a perfect shot, right up underneath the bar. It was a 2 on 1, that's Chelios's fault.

 

[David Puddy]

Should have gottne Gomez and Gionta out on the 4-on-4.

 

[SopelFan*]

Herbert Vasilijevs (sp?)! Former Canuck .

So is Irbe.

 

[rahzar]

Oh please hockey gods, let Latvia beat the disgusting USA team!

x2
wish I could have seen the whole game.

EXACTLY, in a tournament like this you cannot be good, you have to be great...those shots that you can say he had no chance on in the NHL have to be stopped here sometimes... the problem is I don't think any of the U.S. goalies are great and this is whats going to be a problem.

Leave him alone man, he's playing better than I would have expected. Complaining won't put Miller on the team.

 

[Mr Brownstone]

It'd be nice if we hit the net on the powerplay. The US needs a wake up call badly.

 

[V13]

Latvia !!!! Latvia !!!! Latviwho !!??!!

 

[DevilFisch]

Latvia eventually took command in that period.

Now, IIRC, the US Women's team were down 3-2 after 2 periods against Finland and they proceeded to win.

It is now time for the US Men's team to do the same and lay a beatdown on Latvia in the third.

AND TO STOP PINCHING D-MEN!
