[zamo86*]

Well deserved goal.

rodman to mtl e4

 

[Exit Dose]

There goes Miller's shutout. Shame.

 

[fsanford]

Can we please use miller going forward?

You jinxed him..

 

[End of Line]

That was just a perfect shot.

Undefeated in group play.

Good win today boys.

 

[DEVILS130]

Doc totally jinxed that. He used to do it all the time when calling Devils games

 

[Honey Bear]

I don't remember anyone ever saying he's the best on this team. The criticism you guys are giving him is over the top when he's playing with a handicap on his line that is holding him back. Every time he's been with Parise or Pavelski he's made something happen so I don't think Kane is the whole problem

It's not over the top. What is over the top is when people keep coming to his aide every second something negative is said about his play in this tournament thus far. He's been criticized fairly.

 

[Gemini]

Statement goal by the Slovenians.

 

[BigT2002]

I absolutely love Miller, but I'm pretty sure he has done this several times: having his shutout broken in the dying seconds.

2010 come to mind

 

[PSUPEN]

Respect what you're saying, but I am inclined to disagree that it actually matters at the level you are proposing it should be. People have their opinions of what they believe should happen because of how a player looks on paper as opposed to on the ice. The difference in opinion is when someone knows how that player works with differing style of players as opposed to their own. I don't need to be a NHL coach or play in the Olympics to know that.

Thanks for an intelligent respectful response. I continue to learn by watching as much hockey as I can. My question was not to inflame.

 

[Doctyl]

Nope

Both goals scored on Quick yesterday were not as hard to stop as that. That as just a perfect shot

 

[EON]

well that's unfortunate

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Nothing wrong with a bye.

 

[EON]

Miller or Quick?

 

[GregSirico]

Q: What's the best scenario for USA with the RUS/SVK game?

 

[DrunkKaner88]

Wow Ot for Russia and slovakia

 

[zamo86*]

Well that sucks

Miller shutout gone with 17.6 left

If I am not mistaken thats the same amount of time as yesterday when Slovenian goalie lost the shutout vs Slovakia

 

[SabresBillsBuffalo]

Being a sabres fan that happens a lot over millers career

 

[LucilleAustero]

The Miller shut out.

 

[gtpeli2]

Good win. I really like this team.

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

Welp. Twas a very good game. We won and we got a bye.

 

[RangersFan]

Miller or Quick?

Miller time.

 

[EON]

Q: What's the best scenario for USA with the RUS/SVK game?

Russia winning, Canada beating Finland in regulation. Seeding would be:

1. Canada
2. Sweden
3. USA
4. Russia

Would ensure we don't see Russia or Canada until a potential gold medal game.

 

[GregSirico]

Miller or Quick?

I will get a lot of heat but Miller. I have been a fan of his for years now. Don't get me wrong you can't go wrong with Quick but Miller is just more calm cool and collective.

 

[NinthSpoke06]

Q: What's the best scenario for USA with the RUS/SVK game?

Russia needs to win. Otherwise USA will most likely have to play them in the Quarterfinals.

If the lose USA would likely have to go through Russia-Sweden-Canada for gold.

If they win it would likely be Switzerland-Sweden-Canada.
