that blake goal looked legal to me...didn't kick it in, didn't knock it in with his hand...it just hit him and bounced into the net with him. and if the slovak player hadn't tripped him, it would haven't happened like that anyways...course if he hadn't tripped him, blake would have just had a wide open net to shoot at anyways. either way, it's most likely a goal.
in general...US played a pretty good game...physical game, they successfully nullified slovakia's speed, and basically dominated the whole game...but they gotta put the puck in the net a little more i think and their big guns gotta step it up. tkachuck, modano, guerin etc were invisible for most of the game and to beat teams like canada, i just don't think they can do that. the US needs more out of them...the best line was the drury, blake, gomez leave, easily...but that's not gonna be enough to beat the really good teams
