[Fregus]

Woho it's 3 AM I have school tomorrow, but I don't give a ****!
Awsome game!

 

[XDC-RES]

Good grief...the hit on Hall was clean. Let's move on!

 

[y2kcanucks]

What hit are you talking about? The Carlson hit on Hall where he killed him along the side boards or the Donovan (I think) hit on Hall behind the US net?

The Donovan hit on hall, which came earlier, was from behind but it wasn't a hard hit (more of a tap) and it looked like Hall just lost his edge.

The Carlson hit was a gorgeous hit, shoulder to shoulder.

The one in the corner...I didn't see which player hit him, but by your description it was Donovan.

 

[LTIR Trickery]

Loving the game so far.

 

[Chootoi]

Hall got hit from behind?
That's funny.

you couldn't see it cause mcguire's woody was in the way.

 

[japper]

Great game!
I'm loving every minute of it.
Will get no, NO sleep at all this night and so far it is absolutely worth it!

Thank you Canada!
Thank you USA!



Love hockey fans.

Actually have the game on TV, and also watching it on SVT1!

Kadri's had a great game today... all the Sens fans should grow up and start cheering for Canada and stop whining...
If anyones turning the puck over (as obvious from the goals today) its Schenn and Hall.

 

[TheSituation]

Anyone have an American feed?

 

[Hunter Gathers]

The one in the corner...I didn't see which player hit him, but by your description it was Donovan.

I think it was Donovan as well. It was borderline, as Hall saw Donovan coming and turned at the last second. Donovan held up and really just touched him a bit. Didn't plaster him into the boards or anything.

It was a good non-call, really, as Hall created the problem by turning.

Are you watching the game or just looking for things to say about Kadri?
Pathetic....
How did you like Cowan watching (while dressed) from the bench last few games

Kadri has made some good plays but bad decisions with the puck he needs to play better though. Although I tend to believe it has more to do because of the team he was drafted by.

 

[Konnan511]

Lots of crying in here about a clean hit

Clean or not clean, it's not going to change unless CAN takes a lead, or a similar call goes against the US...which is stupid either way.

I wish more people would talk about how exciting the first period was. USA quick as all heck and CAN very skillful with the puck.

As I said earlier, Cowen hasnt deserved to play. I dont give a **** what teams these guys MIGHT play for in the future. They are wearing a Canadian jersey.

 

[Chraa]

Schroeder has a nice wrister

 

[St.Louis sports fan]

USA supplies the cheese....Canadians supply the WHINE! I dont think the Della Rovere penalty was a penalty, but the rest of the game seemed fair so far. For all those ripping Allen for those goals, I dont think you have a CHL Goalie that would've save them either.

 

[John Price]

This is the worst cover ever.

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Watch the replay. It was clearly a hit from behind.

I watched the hit and it was clearly from the side. Stop whining.

 

[Refuse]

yes. and i'm thinking of more thank you, sadly I can't get a job for this.

How about the no call when Johnson went down on the breakaway? Clearly pro-US ref!

 

[naihlflames]

Eh! Oh! Canada Go!

OH! EH! GO USA !!!

 

[Jack Bourdain]

Wow people have a short memory.

Hall turned on his back and moved his upper body forward to avoid the hit, that's why it looks like a hit from behind. It was clean.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

How exactly do you hit someone from behind, when you're coming at him perpendicularly? The hit was clean, shoulder to shoulder.

He's talking about the hit behind the US net in the corner. Not the Carlson hit along the boards.

The hit (I believe it was by Donavon) he's referencing WAS from behind, but Hall turned and Donavon held up enough to really only lightly hit the guy. Hall lost an edge and faceplanted. It was a good non-call, though.

Sorry no pass.
You are identifying a guy who hasnt been anywhere near the worse Canadian forward.

 

[Stats01]

WOOOSH
-----------
Your head

Yeah your right. I don't get it... Explain. What was your point? A horrible assist?

 

[y2kcanucks]

How exactly do you hit someone from behind, when you're coming at him perpendicularly? The hit was clean, shoulder to shoulder.

I think you're thinking of the wrong hit. I'm talking about the one where Hall was in the corner and (apparently) Donovan hit him. He hit him in the numbers and Hall went down into the boards. By IIHF rules, that's a penalty.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Back to the game.
