Dood.. the game has been going on for an hour now.. I won't bore you with the details of what has happened to the US goaltending in this game.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Cory Schneider is OUT, Al Montya is IN. Not the best showing for the Canucks prospect, I must say.

~Canucklehead~

 

[Prince Mercury]

Yeesh now, neither of them seems to have any luck, eh?

 

[MeatTornado]

I feel for the US goaltenders. Nobody is playing well for the US, sadly a goaltender's mistake is a lot more visible than a forward or defenseman's.

 

[RoyIsALegend*]

Montoya looks awful.

Schneider looked worse.

The American defense is an absolute joke.

This couldn't get any better.

After Suter it doesnt look too promising whatsoever.

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Well, the USA is looking to re-group now. The effort is there, but they can't complete their passes and plays worth a damn. And whenever Montoya plays the puck, it results in a chance for Belarus.

This game is a gong show.

~Canucklehead~

 

[Steveorama]

Man, after this showing, you can almost hear Crosby and Bergeron salivating...

 

[NYRangers]

The USA D is leaving them out to dry.

Even Suter gave Kotsitsyn a breakaway.

eh? montoya hasn't played the puck to the opposing team (yet, i'm watching the tape delay...) so far he's played it to his own team, THEN they eff it up

 

[Heat McManus]

It seems like Montoya gives up a rebound on every shot.

 

[BAuldie]

He reveals that trick in the 3rd period.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Jeff Likens is so ****ing bad. He is just awful. Why in God's name is he getting ice time?

And Schneider looked just dreadful. He's just not ready yet. At least Montoya seems to be playing more up to par and only let in two goals overall. He had some great saves on a few flurries, but he has to keep those rebounds down.

But Jeff Likens... Man, oh man.

 

[Nimrods Son]

It would certainly appear that the USA simply don't have what it takes right now at this level. Better luck next year.

 

[Larry Fisher]

If that's Montoya playing up to 'par'...look out, because when/if Canada and Sid the Kid get their hands on that 'par' goalie we will most certainly run up the scoreboard into double digits.

:lol :lol

He's made some very, very nice saves. I wish this damn defense would get off their ass.

:lol :lol

may be...but dont forget he beat them last year.....

 

[Mathletic]

last year everyone was hard with Fleury, and he didn't give up a crappy goal from the middle of the ice

 

[Larry Fisher]

Pierre MacGuire might have been overly critical of Montoya...but watching the Russia game, highlights from Switzerland and the game tonight...he has been nothing short of pathetic. Old Slats is going to regret that pick, then again he's got Blackburn and Lundquist (SP) in the sytem.

Seriously though I've seen a couple oops it the round rubber thing hit me and people are cheering saves that looked decent but I have yet to see the Montoya from last year...so far he get's my vote as worst goalie in the tournament and biggest overall disappoint!!!

I wouldn't go that far...

Hey, I think a Tommy Salo fan knows a thing or two about awful netminding.
