Ugh!

 

[AmericanDream]

Faulk on the ice for a 5-3....wow, says a lot for that kid

 

[magic school bus]

good thing we're getting these dumb delay of game penalties out of the way in a meaningless situation.

 

[SabresBillsBuffalo]

lolllllllll

 

[AmericanDream]

meaningless goal against for the US, but that could be a huge goal for Belarus when its all said and done

 

[Exit Dose]

At least we aren't going to lose. I hope Johnson can stay out of the box from now on.

 

[Xokkeu]

I wish I could make a soft wrister go the length of the ice crosswise and clear the boards.

 

[AmericanDream]

alright! it wasnt pretty, but a win is a win...

3-1 so far for the US, should win 2 more games hopefully and set ourselves up for a decent matchup....would love to beat Finland

Team USA seems pretty solid all the way around, but what's going bite them in the butt is how horrible they play without the puck; mainly the defense. They give up some really high scoring chances. I would feel bad for any goalie at this point. I give props to Howard for keeping the games managable.

They fix this problem as the tournement goes along, they will be tough to beat. Their speed and puck control is pretty incredible.

EDIT: What I mean feel bad for the goalie is that USA plays with the puck a lot, but sucks playing without it. Problem is, they play with the puck a lot...so the goalie hardly sees the puck. WHen they do, it's not your typical shot. It's usually a stupid defensive break down. No goalie would have fun playing in front of that; I know I wouldn't.

Hopefully, we can snag someone like McDonagh or Carlson with our last spot.

Solid win. Belarus has been in every game so far in this tournament. A lack of discipline today, and again a bit sloppy-but not a real shock considering the overall age of the roster. I guess what I'm most please with is the balanced scoring. The team is getting contributions from every line.

if we start using the flying V I will throw up....

Does this count?.....40 secs in!

pretty nice cheerleaders

LOL!!! I thought the same thing. Guys are sooooo silly - myself included. It is ALL about the looks.

As my best friend once said, a woman could smoke, have horrible breath, a lousy personality, a gas problem, be dumb as a stump and have tons of emotional (and even physical) baggage BUT, if she's REALLY pretty, it's all moot. A guy will say "Wow, what a catch"!

Cam fowler a +4 in an 8 goal game
Wut

Having said all that, I am sure THOSE cheerleaders have NONE of THOSE things.

How did Stastny play?

This made me laugh more than it should have.

As for the game, too many stupid penalties.

How did Stastny play?

Scored a great goal. I didn't notice him much, but I think that might be due to watching Ryan and Pacioretty.

Anyone want to give me a quick rundown on how Petry has looked in the whole tournament? He made incredible strides in the second half of the year for the Oilers, he was a huge liability at the start of the year and near the end he was by far our best dman.

Stastny hasnt been as dominating as I was hoping he would be....but still plenty of time for him to really get going

I really didnt notice him much in the first 3 games...that could be looked at as a positive or a negative depending on your view of him, but I will say he looked really good today. I thought he was the most active defender we had and was skating all over the place. He is going to be a great player for the Oilers, but he still has a bit to go with puck control and his own zone play...but if he plays the way he did today the rest of the way, he could be a top 4 dman for us
