"An upset occurs in a competition, frequently in electoral politics or sports, when the party popularly expected to win (the favorite), is defeated by an underdog whom the majority expects to lose, defying the conventional wisdom."

Last time I checked even 51% is a majority and I bet if polled it would be even wider than that.

Way to grasp at straws

 

[SI90]

Let’s go USA !!

At least I'm not trying to redefine what a word means in here.

I wish they would switch Bellows and Tkachuk. Bellows has a lot of familiarity with Anderson and Mittlestadt is a great playmaker and can find Bellows in great shooting position.

Tkachuk and Mittlestadt have perhaps the best chemistry going on the team. I seriously doubt they are breaking them up.

And why do you think USA is so favoured to win? Personally I think Finland will win.

@Lempo this one, I was wrong I guess

 

[Lempo]

@Lempo this one, I was wrong I guess

Yup, but no prob, your suggestion was my first own guess too.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

What a pass Mittelstadt.

 

[chauron]

Still so friggin' low attendance, are they watching this game on tv or doesn't anyone care?

 

[FinPanda]

So far great D from the Finns. Forwards have been quite bad defensively..

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Nice Frederic!

 

[Lempo]

Veijo Esso didn't get much bang for the advertisement buck.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Some great defending to start the game.
Usa gets to sail into the slot to challenge our streaky goaltender

 

[Woodhouse]

Frederic! 1-0 USA.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Did starman have a hand in drafting Poehling? He won't stop talking about him despite his average performance thus far. He just claimed the only line that has been good for the US was whatever line Poehling was on. . . Huh????

NFL/Bills are playing at the same time and that team needs help to make playoffs for first time in forever.

 

[Opak]

Veijo Esso didn't get much bang for the advertisement buck.

I doubt Veli Neste got anything either

 

[NTDP]

early but we've been first to pretty much all lose pucks and not letting them come in with any cohesion. Really like the start thus far. looks like the cobwebs have been shaken out

 

[BL92]

Typical Brezhnev-esque slow Finland, brutal.
