[jcbio11]

Lose with dignity you loveable schmucks!
Put up a g*ddamn fight!

 

[SlovakNHLfan]

wanna see heart in our game ... and at least one monster hip check from Hrasko

 

[Indian]

Good luck boys, hoping for a great game.

 

[wjhl2009fan]

what time is this game on the US East Coast (EST)

8:00 pm.

 

[nobuddy]

Usa!

 

[sfo]

Twitter says both Morin AND Nelson are out tonight.

Twitter says both Morin AND Nelson are out tonight.

Ugh.

I'll be there. Anyone else going?

 

[Harv]

Slovensko... do toho?

 

[Mint Berry Crunch]

Excited to see Jurčo play.

But other than that, let's take this in regulation, USA. :]

 

[DrPabloRamirez]

It's unofficial, Juraj Holly will be starting goalie.

 

[DaFranzenator]

I think we really step it up and hand Slovakia an arse kicking tonight. I'm gonna say 5-1 USA.

Stupid if true, Riecicky saved them against Germany with a huge performance.

 

[slovakiasnextone]

More like:



Poďme sa zachrániť?

or maybe

(Nie,) my (už) na to (ne)máme.

I think we really step it up and hand Slovakia an arse kicking tonight. I'm gonna say 5-1 USA.

Considering the two teams that are playing tonight, 5-1 is hardly an arse kicking.

Anyway, I´ m not gonna wakep up/stay up for this one, STV are showing a rerun tomorrow (in normal hours), right?

 

[JeffYear92*]

Go Slovakiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

[TimHortons]

Anyone with possible line combos for USA? Should be interesting to see how creative Allain gets without Morin and Nelson.

Wonder if he will move any D to the forward position?

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Wonder if he will move any D to the forward position?

They could put Wey on the 4th line. My guess is Callahan gets considerably more icetime and they even double-shift someone like Bjugstad.

 

[Chainshot]

Ugh.

I'll be there. Anyone else going?

I'll be there (with Whammer in tow) in 313.

 

[Bgav]

2-1 slovaks

Jurco makes the americans his *****

It´s always important to dream.......Keep dreaming, buddy!

 

[Starsfan24]

Let's Go USA!

 

[AmericanDream]

havent been posting since I have been in Buffalo, but it has been nice so far. This should be a nice test for the US to not get complacent and lets see how they step up with Morin and Nelson out. Not sure how long they both will be out, but I gotta believe Morin is going to do everything in his heart to play by the medal round.

lot of people around here were saying that many Americans on the East Coast simply couldnt make it in time for Sundays game due to weather concerns. They expect a nice crowd tonight, and the more this team wins, the more the buzz will get around here and people will show up more towards the medal round. The tickets arent cheap, but we did the entire package so it equaled out to around $35 a game..

The US really needs a big game out of Drew Shore and Chris Kreider tonight. These two big power forwards need to step up and lead this team offensively. They need to get going if this team is going to get to the Gold medal game.

will be at the Sample Restaurant on Allen Street before the game...then we will be heading to Anchor Bar after the game. Anchor Bar is a little further away, but it is a good time. Just look for the group of 10 (5 male and 5 female) all dressed in flags and USA clothes; with their faces painted in red, white, and blue!!

Go get em boys! Looking to get drunk after a nice win tonight!

By the way, we heard Gary Thorne is doing the broadcasting on the NHL Network....that is awesome!! He is a legit stud to have for this tournament.
