And on a more serious note : Russia plays catasrophically bad. Just 2 fluke SHG. That's all.

USA > Russia

this is weird it says CBC is supposed to be showing this game but all im seeing is Figure Skating

We still suck.....gotta love us....US fans. So optimistic

Maybe you can play us and we can figure out, as Homer Simpson would say, "who the suckiest bunch of suck sucks that ever did suck" are.

Other than a few odd breakaways that we were able to finish, I think that USA has outplayed us. They played with more passion and more heart. They were more physical. The goals were mostly the result of their defensmen pinching in. On the last goal, Tkachuk has attracted both Volchenkov and Tyutin. Very untypical of Tyutin to make such a mistake.

Should be Zherdev but it's Datsyuk.

if they were both in the tourney, wouldn't Datsyuk get priority to wear his number due to his experience?

 

[Ajacied]

Funny statement about the U.S's best defenseman in the tourney thus far. I don't see anyone else being matched up against the other teams best line every night.

Being USA's top defenseman means nothing. It only shows their weakness when Hatcher is their best defenseman, which he isn't IMO. He's a shell of his former self and is hurting his team more than he helps it. And I'm the biggest Hatcher fan you'll find on these boards.. He looks slow, makes dumb penalties and is poor positionally.

And I wonder why we lost the two games against the quality teams.

I know! Not really that surprising they did cut in and out of a Canada hockey game for figure skating also.

And being better.

Why SHOULD it be Zherdev? Even if both were on the team, Datsyuk would get the option to wear it.

Is this just the standard Red Wing hate again coming from Columbus?

Boy was that Homer quote ever butchered.

Tkachuk was holding Volchenkov.

Probably, so Zherdev would wear 93 I believe, correct me if i'm wrong.

What the hell is wrong with the CBC? This is BS

[Mr Brownstone]

Ugh, Rafalski looked awful on that 2 on 1. Big goal for the USA late in that period. They really need to prove something in this game or Finland will trounce them.

Russian homerrr!!!!


Anyways, Russia is playing very good. They are pwning us.

 

[Nemchinov13]

I don't think it mattered that much on the goal. Volchenkov got Tkachuk and Fedor should've gotten the other forward. He hasn't made that mistake since... I don't know, October?

no, they suck.

 

[CSKA]

no, they suck.

Cheburashka said it ! WE SUCK !

 

[Slitty]

I am actually genuinely not impressed with the way we played the 1st period. The USA had way too much room and we were much too sloppy entering the zone.
