5th-Place GDT 1/4 • United States 3, Czech Republic 2 (OT)

[91]

sounds like unice is playing well.... it still baffles me as to why mccollum wasnt pulled against the slovaks...

 

[eightyseven]

LOL @ Unice saying he's playing in a "pressure" game. There is no pressure at all, they're already out of a medal!!!

 

[Vintage93]

They televised the Germany/Finland game but not this one?

edit: now they're showing Latvia/Kazakhstan

I think he's talking more about himself than the team.

I'm sure he'd love to have a great game and make Rolston look like even a bigger fool.

Does anyone know how next years conferences will work?
Eg.- Is it 1st, 4th, 5th, 8th vs 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 7th from this years seedings?

 

[Yst]

Tie game? 1-1 US-Czech. Yowza.

 

[GKJ]

Shots are 33-14 through 2, but it's 1-1 in the 3rd. Looks like no one can finish again.

The USA hockey blog mentioned Colin Wilson got robbed again. If he would've buried 50% of his quality chances, he'd have a ridiculous amount of goals.

This team desperately needs Jeremy Morin's goal scoring next year.

 

[AgentNaslund*]

go Czech!!!!!

 

[y2kcanucks]

Let's go Czech Rep!!!

Sounds like the game is getting out of hand:

"Frustration from the whole tournament is boiling over. The U.S. had a 3-on-1 and went offsides and a Czech player absolutely attacked van Riemsdyk and now Teddy Ruth has a fight with a Czech player and is going off as is his opponent. There will be more penalties I'm sure."

Look out for Tangradi from the bench

Look out for Tangradi from the bench

or an SDR heymaker from behind. Bertuzzi without talent.

 

[Yst]

Ondrej Roman gives the Czechs the lead, 2-1.

 

[William H Bonney]

Roman made it 2 -1 for the Czechs and Fairchild just tied it up 2 - 2.

 

[STL fan in MN]

and Fairchild ties it up. 7 minutes to go!

 

[Konk]

Roman made it 2 -1 for the Czechs and Fairchild just tied it up 2 - 2.

Shame. USA needs to lose this game, maybe a 5th place finish will open some eyes.

The eyes should already be wide open, regardless of the outcome of this match.

Look out for Tangradi from the bench

It wasn't Tangradi who did that. Someone did but no one knows who. Pierre just said Tangradi

 

[Kamina]

let's go czech

 

[chaosrevolver]

It wasn't Tangradi who did that. Someone did but no one knows who. Pierre just said Tangradi

Indeed. Whoever was to his left did it.

 

[BillyShoe1721]

Anyone know who Okal hit from behind?

 

[y2kcanucks]

or an SDR heymaker from behind. Bertuzzi without talent.

Twas retaliation.

Sounds like JVR scored a highlight reel goal to win the game in OT.

Nice to see them compete hard this game even though this is the most disappointing finish in awhile.
