Let's go USA

 

[offkilter]

Anybody else think Granato looks like Grand Moff Tarkin?

 

[Big L]

Fast pace so far

 

[melinko]

Surprised refs haven't called a penalty on any of these hits yet.

 

[Big L]

Greenway's a big fella. I’ve seen him play, and he’s like a foot taller then most of the other collegiates. LOLz

 

[Big L]

Turds. Seemed like that was only a matter of time. RUS has been swarming

 

[ovikovy817]

What a Nice setup for the first goal

 

[Alex K]

Good start

 

[ChiefWiggum]

Why is Mozyakin only now making his Olympic debut? Is he a late bloomer or a constant snub every other olympics?

 

[Big L]

Now that’s how you PK

 

[Alex K]

Is Gionta any good now?

 

[aonb]

i'll try in active thread - where can i find highlights from games? Can be short (2-5 minutes). literally nothing on official site (stats only), YT, and every twitter video is blocked in my country.

NBC Sports YouTube channel and website have short highlights

EDIT: I think it was just their website and not YouTube

 

[usahockey22flyers]

I love Greenway, definitely my favorite player

 

[Northerner]

lol Milbury calling Kaprusov "Cheesburger face". Oh wow.

 

[Northerner]

Overrated. He will be Charlie Coyle part 2.

He stood up to that guy who was mugging/holding/cross checking him. No penalties either way. That was a surprise.

 

[Corby78]

The talent gap is evident, and Russia then adds a couple borderline hits. A couple of these Russians deserved to get run.

Nuts hit the post.

Looks like the refs are not going to call much this game and let it play out.

 

[Alex K]

What a shift!

 

[Paxton Fettel]

This is some of the worst hockey I've ever seen.

 

[Xokkeu]

Russia playing the US like they are the kids in South Park

 

[Hanji]

Anybody else think Granato looks like Grand Moff Tarkin?

Not really. Although Donato looks like Sloth from the Goonies.

 

[heynowbababooey]

Is it just me or did datsyuk get away with boarding early on? That looked really bad and is usually an easy call to make in le chel.
