[joepeps]

I thought stastny has looked pretty solid on the PK.

Stitsky??? another wwe wrestler.. wtf...

 

[Everest]

This has been the most entertaining game so far i thought.

But,its true...I can't pick up the "gamesounds" on the tsn broadcast.

I agree. It has been pretty entertaining. The games between Canada and the USA usually are, because the two teams are evenly matched........

 

[Oil_slick9416*]

Little men shouldn't play hockey then. He didn't raise his elbow or anything. The US player seemed like he was trying to get out of the way and took the check in the head.

yah, the us player was hunched over.

 

[BeerTuzzi]

Next goal wins

 

[Oil_slick9416*]

Next goal wins

not if the us scores, then it will be a tie game

 

[Everest]

Would it be too much to ask for Fisher or some other player to line up Weight the way Gionta got filled in?

 

[Levitate]

yah, the us player was hunched over.

you know, IMO this is kind of like the high sticking rules. you can hit a guy with your stick in the face accidently and it's still a penalty because you weren't careful with your stick. just like you can check a guy in the head accidently and it can still be a penalty because you should be careful with hits to the head.

if it was some ticky tacky thing that didn't have the potential for some series injury to players, i wouldn't want penalties called...but considering how it can end players careers and eff up their lives pretty badly, trying to prevent hits to the head, even accidental ones, isn't a bad idea IMO.

 

[The Joker*]

Maybe the game is good, but it just lacks something because there's no sound

The USA is in this game...but we can bury them if we get rolling as a team.

 

[Shack]

Man Nash is rock solid. 2nd goal was work of art.
He even looked behind if he could pass to some one, but when there was no change he used his body and stick to make the highlight goal.

 

[Phaneuf*]

Is Peter Maur doing the play by play? I just tuned in.

 

[Leafer4Life]

Yep, their definitely still in it. The game is not over yet by a long shot.........

Not at all

Canada was able to bounce back from the last US goal quite easily

America is working harder than Canada, but Canada's just a more talented squad. I can't really see America pulling this one out at this point. Maybe with a couple fluke goals.

No Brett Hull really closes the window on "fluke goals".

We (the americans) had our chance in the first period with the Power Play chances 3 or 4 of them and didn't cash in big time 2 or more goals = cashing in ... I hope they take something good away from this game if they don't come back, because they have played a really good game, imho

 

[espo*]

Lot's of action that period.****...Jo-Vo.hope it wakes the guy up.Fisher needs to see more ice time,he deserves it.Gionta is a dandy little player,wish we had him.

 

[PRB]

Interesting to hear Healey compare how Nash owns the goalie in the way Lemiuex used to own him when he was shooting on him. Nice compliment to Nash

 

[Levitate]

Modano needs to freakin wake up one of these games

it's big games like this that the US just will not win if he doesn't get on the scoreboard

 

[Leafer4Life]

3rd Underway

 

[Rabid Ranger]

All props to Brodeur... It's going to be very difficult to get even one goal on him in the 3rd. I can only hope...............

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Modano needs to freakin wake up one of these games

Yeah, he's been pretty quiet. Maybe he needs his good buddy Brett Hull on his wing? He needs to blast up the ice and fire a rocket past Brodeur (if Jovo lets him.......).

 

[Everest]

Some dangerous passes from Heatley and then Morrison on this last shift...cycle along the wall...don't force blind pux into the high slot.

 

[Roger's Pancreas*]

Seriously. He's wearing the C for a reason and that's because coaching expects him to step it up in a game like this.

Who assisted on Nash's goals?
