[Padawan]

Penalty shot!!!!

Parise with the penalty shot... Missed. Simchuk with a good save.

The decision was weird. The ref cancelled his own decision and made a new one.

Damnit PArise

Parise taking

Because of last 2 minutes.

 

[DevilsFan38]

Weird - why did Parise take it?

Weird - why did Parise take it?

Someone on the ice at the time has to take it, and the coach may have felt Parise had the best chance of the 5 guys who were on the ice at the time.

 

[Padawan]

Weird - why did Parise take it?

Because your head coach chose him to take it.

I wasn't sure what the rules were on who could take the penalty shot. I can't imagine why they picked Parise, he's much more of a passer than a shooter. Do you know who else was out there?

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Meh.......... A game the U.S. should have won, but whatever. Good game plan by the Ukraine and their goalie played very well.

 

[missK]

Weird - why did Parise take it?

Because he played in the AHL where he has experience with shoot-outs?

He did play in the AHL this year which features the shootout.........

 

[DevilsFan38]

That's true, I didn't think about that.

Sorry mam, I've been using this board to update me.

Obviously the US had 2 defencemen out there, so they are out of the equation, and it depends on who Parise's 2 wingers were... if it was like Cole and Stastny, Parise is obviously the best choice.

edit: damn genders!

 

[DevilsFan38]

Yeah my only form of updates have been this board as well - it's so frustrating not being able to watch! (oh, and for the record, I'm a female)

 

[wilka91*]

it's nice to see Russia is not the only "supposed to be good team" to tie a "supposed to lose 8-0 team"

 

[Captain Leaf]

This tournament is the most wacky one ever ....who can figure anything out ..i dont think there is any clear #1 contender , shes wide open .Whomever gets hot goaltending may take it all .

 

[wilka91*]

so the quarters will likely look like this :

Rus - Fin
Swe - Swi
Cze - USA
Can - Svk

 

[Guriken]

US team is really insconsistant. Wins 5-1 against Sweden then ties Ukraine...

38 saves by Ukraine's goalie?

It is wacky.Hard to figure out.who knows who the real deal is here yet?

 

[Dominus]

Pretty much an expected result in this meaningless game. Ukraine wanted not to lose with a blowout score, and USA just wanted to get it over with, without any injuries. Ukraine played careful defence and their goalie was very good. In the first two periods USA was very lazy and sloppy, but they found the necessary grit and pride to tie the game in the third period.

Well, nobody got injured(?) and Ukraine got a point from one of the big ones. I guess everybody's happy?

If memory serves, it was a dman who scored the winning shootout goal for the USA in both the quarter-final and bronze medal games for USA last year (see ROACH, ANDY)

That's a nice way to put it. I can live with that.

 

[blitzkriegs]

Weird - why did Parise take it?

to go with the NYI conspiracy theory:

Former NYI head coach Laviolette was unhappy with the amount of press DP, Milbury's legacy boy, got for the pass/goaltending vs. Sweden, that he needed to try and rub something in his former bosses face - whom is at the Worlds. Parise, the draft pick Milbury 'passed over' to draft much maligned, seldom played Nilsson's son, was the perfect choice.
