[Hanji]

France will be flying high. But sorry no upset this time. 6-1 USA.

 

[Grove]

Given the circumstances, I would love to see an upset here. Can't really see it though.

 

[William H Bonney]

Bishop starting and not Gibson.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Come ooon USA.

 

[William H Bonney]

Dirty, dirty elbow. Pathetic IIHF reffing as usual.

And then Hunwick shoots wide on an open net.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Ha. How did that go in?

 

[QnebO]

The Crowd is almost full and its France - USA?

 

[BobDobolina]

Epic jaw protector on that French dude.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Jesus, EJ went down, bad.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

It's all USA right now.

 

[William H Bonney]

Pretty comfortable first for Team USA. Totally controlled the play and could easily be up 3-4 goals.

 

[BalticWarrior]

Cool to see that WC`s are on NBC.

 

[1Gold Standard]

I'm hoping for a Canada-USA final now, for no other reason than to just to royally piss off the Europeans. Lets make it happen boys!

 

[Skip2myBordyloo]

this france team finishes checks more often than most nhl teams , i like it.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Bjugstad showing the skillz. My avatar by the way.

 

[William H Bonney]

Embellishment 101 right there.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

French player with the soccer dive on the penalty call. Still a good call though.

 

[Exit Dose]

You just knew one was going in once we went 3 on 5.

 

[William H Bonney]

French player with the soccer dive on the penalty call. Still a good call though.

Not when the French player slashed Stastny first to win the puck.

 

[Exit Dose]

Jesus, Carter.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Dumb Carter, dumb.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Not when the French player slashed Stastny first to win the puck.

Oh, I didn't see that.

 

[Skip2myBordyloo]

EJ needs to work on his footspeed that should have been a clear cut breakaway.

 

[William H Bonney]

Great beard sighted.
