GDT: Quarterfinal • Feb. 19 • United States vs. Czech Republic • Part I

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Not really. Outside of a little spurt in the 1st period the U.S. has dominated the Czechs physically and is starting to wear them down, especially with the Backes line.

pretty much this. the Czechs played last night and the US has made them earn every inch of ice and need to continue to do so.

 

[Doshell Propivo]

The Czechs have had ONE dominating shift. That's it.

They've had others that were good. Their transition game has been effective and they are generating chances. It's the other end of the ice that is the problem.

 

[bproeder]

I don't see us coming back from this... not against this US team. Unless we score a quick one and then push in the third... but our chances are slim

The game is never over- you guys stormed back yesterday Vs Slovakia. There is always hope. A few bounces your way and you are back in. Quite frankly, I am still nervous!

 

[DocWest]

This is USA domination. The only goal Czech has the USA put in it's own net.

We're very diplomatic, lol

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

Is this arena literally falling apart before our eyes?

 

[Cutter]

Wah, no gold medal match with Canada? Dammit!

 

[Jussi]

Brass Bonanza!

I honestly thought you were being sarcastic but it seems you were not.

Have you ever watched Parise play? That is exactly his golden egg, garbage goals and it's why he makes the money that he does.

Also, USA has outplayed and has gobs more talent and team chemistry than the Czechs it's almost embarrassing.

[The Gloaming]

The Nedved line only looks good because the penguins duo is matched up against them.

I get you're trying to be a good sport, but no one believes this.
