Hell I wanna watch this tournament!!! Goddamn it!

 

[old kummelweck]

Knowing ESPN it will only be college basketball.

you're right.

 

[Chaos]

Its the broadcast camera that was zoomed in, it was cleary over the line. Im taping the game so next commercial I will rewind and look again.

Remember the Gelinas no goal in the playoffs? Its the same angle here...inconclusive.

 

[Slick Nick]

I love Franson, he understands the game very well, and what a great skater! This game is very interesting, nothing like the Cze-Fin 1/4 game...

Go Swedes

 

[hockeyfan125]

Soderberg = Mats Sundin? This guy is great

Steal of the draft. I really wanted the Canucks to get him, after I read about him pre-draft.

 

[PecaFan]

I didn't see any angle on TSN that I would call conclusive. It's extremely close though, and *probably* was in. I don't think a video review would have called it in though. And I'm pulling for the US.

Unconscionable for the ref not to go upstairs, however. Leave the ego at home, there are procedures in place for just this sort of thing. I don't care how positive you were.

Marty Brodeur would have a difficult time putting up decent numbers behind this defense, by the way.

Nice...PP USA

 

[Slick Nick]

The russian ref suck, there was no penalty...

If we learned anything from the playoffs last year, when the puck is flipping, its very difficult to tell if its totally over the line.

Or mabye the ref, who was right on the line, saw it best and decided to make a call and not leave it in the hands of officials watching tv moniters.

But anyways...

 

[Lessy]

What a terrible call that was

 

[RorschachWJK]

OMG, a penalty for that...hello refs!

 

[Astaroth]

Bad call on the penalty.

 

[Chaos]

What exactly did they call there? Perhaps a make-up for missing what should have been a penalty on Eriksson earlier ?

 

[old kummelweck]

us PP misses bourque on the point.

 

[RorschachWJK]

Nice PP pressure by the US.

 

[Chaos]

Those Swedish PKers looked extremely tired...they were out there forever.

 

[FLYLine27*]

PP looked good. Glad Kessel is on the point.

 

[old kummelweck]

pp looked ok

When Hagemo was like pulled down?

 

[Cawz]

And those jackass dumb Canadian fans are SUPER classy to heckle the Americans.

Well, the Americans beat us last year at this tournament, so whats wrong with heckling? The US has the trophy my country wants.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Nice PP pressure by the US.

Yeah, it was building up pretty well.













Sorry for the childish joke.

 

[Chaos]

When Hagemo was like pulled down?

Yeah that play.

 

[Lessy]

What a rifle that Kessel let go off the outside of the post

 

[old kummelweck]

Looks like the us might be able to grind these guys down. they just need to work on coverage in their own zone.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

It's stupid to be from another country and sit there and boo the other one who's not even PLAYING their country yet.

They must still be upset that their team lost the gold medal. Not that the US won it, since they didn't of course .

It;s just dumb to heckle a team of kids.
