Another Miller post in disguise.

Nope. None of the goals will be DP/JG's fault.

I just can't get into USA hcokey. I gotta root for the underdog.

3-1 Kazahks

What kind of sick American are you?

 

[Thrash13]

Well, instead of bashing the American team, I'm going to give credit to Arturs Irbe for yesterday's game. Irbe had an awesome game in net. The US should have won, and they had 42 shots on goal for the game. Give credit to Irbe for making some great stops. A lot of other goalies would have given up 6 or 7 goals yesterday.

It was disheartening, but I give credit where it's due. I don't think the US team looked all that bad.

Anyway, the US will win today by at least 3 goals. It may not be dominant, but they will win easily. I would like to see Dipietro in net just because he is my favorite of the 3 US goalies.

I'm ready for this one. Too bad I have to record it and watch it when I get home from work. :/

I thought they sucked in the 2nd, personally. Today I hope they give a 60 minute effort.

I don't like our hockey team that much. What do you want from me?

 

[Garbs]

5-2, Usa.

If anyone does get confirmation that Kolesnik is gonna be in the net for Kazakhstan before the match starts I would really like to know, maybe some TV coverage in the US or so mentions something about it. The official olympic site doesn't have any lineups pre-game or anything like that, only the teams full rosters are being shown.

Any confirmation yet that DiPi is on goal?

Just managed to find this:

1 0:00 GKS IN United States USA 29 Rick DiPietro
1 0:00 GKS IN Kazakhstan KAZ 20 Vitaliy Kolesnik

Thank god. Now Grahame can't blow it.

 

[g52*]

DP in net? Instant loss. DP sucks.

 

[Levitate]

DP sucks.

*snicker*

 

[DevilsFan38]

Damn, JD just said the forwards and defense are the same as yesterday, which means Rafalski isn't playing again

 

[DevilFisch]

Grahame didn't blow it yesterday. But what do I know, I only watched the whole game...

And the United States WINS the opening faceoff. I like our odds.

MEANINGLESS MASK UPDATE: Rick DiPietro's mask is my favorite looking mask I've seen so far, so detailed, so well done. Lundqvist's comes in second and Brodeur's in third..

Goal!

 

[DevilFisch]

Bill Guerin scores to put Team USA up early!

1-0!

Dollar Bill gives us the lead.

Have you seen Aebeischer's mask? It's awesome.

Guerin scores! Good start to the game.

 

[FLYLine27*]

Whata shot!

Penalty on Modano.

 

[Olias of Sunhillow]

Anyone listening on the radio? What station? None of my "usual" stations are carrying the game.

Traffic Cone Hatcher takes another one for a 5 on 3

 

[Jori]

Hatchet to the box...hey it wasn't a flying elbow!

 

[DevilFisch]

Hatcher with a forearm smash. Effective in pro wrestling, illegal in hockey. Sit down, Mr. Hatcher.

Kazakhstan gets a brief 5-on-3 PP.

GOOOOOOALLLL

Rolston!
