Why do you regard pessimists half human?
This is not a gold team.
I think we might have to settle..Do not want. Jon sucks.
6-2 Petrasek.
Just can not help loving U.S.A. hockey. You always fight hard at every level, even when you're against the odds. You enter all international tournaments without excuses or complaints, never, ever will we hear an american cry and bit*h about what players you might be missing. You simply dig down, work hard and make the most of what you've got. That's why we love you.
This American team just plain isn't that good. Missing too many quality guys. Their backend has been poor. JJ is not playing well. He needs to be their best guy. Montoya hasn't looked good either.
They could sure use Erik Johnson and Yandle back there to shore things up. Those 2 paired together could log nearly half the game themselves.
Havent heard the swedish commentators bashing somone as much as Montoya since Burns in Canada
I'm a bit surprised at the lack of Silfverberg on the ice. He seems to go hard every time out there, makes smart plays, and sets up good scoring chances. He's looked good every time he was on the ice (that I've seen.) I know he can play either wing, so why isn't he seeing more ice?
Uhm... anyone know why Ryan Miller isn't Team USA's goalie? Buffalo was eliminated some time ago...
Seriously... Montoya the rookie and the career backup conklin? :S
What fjord did you just crawl out from under (wrong country I know-but hey)?
