I tried to figure out the time in PST, but gave up halfway, so if isn't that much of a bother, when's this in PST?
Let's go USA!

You mean PDT? 10:15 AM.

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

You mean PDT? 10:15 AM.

Ahhh yes. That. (For some reason, most TV I watch always lists it as PST)

And Thank you . Looks like a game I'm gonna watch in class or something.

 

[MMANumminen]

You have wrong flag there.

 

[Finnpin]

Slovakia played well against Finland and this will be nice game to see where USA stands against Finns.

 

[QnebO]

Slovakia played well against Finland and this will be nice game to see where USA stands against Finns.

I think usa has the advantage here thought, because Slovaks played yesterday and can be bit exhausted.

 

[slovakiasnextone]

Handzuš to center the 1st line, Kopecký moves to wing and he who must not be named gets to sit in the stand tonight.

 

[Finnpin]

I think usa has the advantage here thought, because Slovaks played yesterday and can be bit exhausted.

In this tournament every country faces the same thing...you could also say Slovakia has better game momentum because of it.

 

[DrPabloRamirez]

1st line:
Radivojevic - Handzus - Kopecky
Hossa out

 

[jcbio11]

Handzus in, Hossa out. Good stuff, good stuff.

Although if we're following a pattern, we're in for another 1 goal loss tonight.

 

[cska78]

the only game today really worth watching.

 

[Shrimper]

Slovakia will win I reckon.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Slovaks are bunkering down it appears due to lack of offensive punch. Could be a frustrating game for the U.S. They need to get an early goal or two.

 

[Harv]

USA wins because Paul Å ťastný can understand all the strategies talked about by the Slovaks.

 

[Zolik37]

Handzuš to center the 1st line, Kopecký moves to wing and he who must not be named gets to sit in the stand tonight.

Is this real life? Hossa out?

I LOVE VUJTEK

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

Handzus?? Michal Handzus?? Or someone else?

 

[8spokesontheB]

Let's go USA!

 

[SabresSharks]

The big ice really suits the speed of the USA team, but there's danger of a letdown here, following the win over Canada.

Miro Satan is still playing? Nice!

 

[Finnpin]

The big ice really suits the speed of the USA team, but there's danger of a letdown here, following the win over Canada.

Almost exact words from EV Zug coach Doug Shedden who works for Finnish Canal+ as commentator...he thinks Slovakia might upset USA.

 

[Finnpin]

Former St. Louis Blues assistant GM Jarmo Kekäläinen puts USA favourite 60-40 when evaluating the teams in goaltending, defense, offense, special teams and expectations.

 

[Finnpin]

UV Zug coach Doug Shedden's 3 things for the game:

Pacioretty and Chara. Follow how they will play against each other.
USA special teams. Worked well against Canada.
Slovakia needs win desperately.

nice empty arena again...Kummola go F yourself!
