2/22/2006 12:31:34 PM

3-2, damn penalties

2/22/2006 12:35:26 PM

what a fucking idiot.


you cant wait to get your glove?


Only team USA would give up a goal by quitting on the play to pick up equipment.... unbelievable

2/22/2006 12:36:47 PM

While a man down as well.....

2/22/2006 12:38:04 PM

if you play the puck without the equipment it is another penalty, international rules

2/22/2006 12:40:13 PM

^ Yeah, now that I saw that, I remember someone playing a puck after his helmet fell off, and he got called for that.

2/22/2006 12:43:28 PM

oh okay didnt know that.


would help if i knew the rules


pretty gay

2/22/2006 12:45:28 PM

weight got his helmet pulled off following a faceoff, it was a dangerous or illegal equipment penalty, the euros know the rule and bait the north americans into at least once per olympics, see Brett Hull in Salt Lake

2/22/2006 12:45:29 PM

Keith Tkachuk is a hooker

2/22/2006 12:54:57 PM

2/22/2006 12:58:14 PM

Horrible call

"Irbe was looking rediculous between the pipes today, you can definitely feel his Latvian pride. I have met him a couple times and he is a great guy, he definitely deserves all the praise and talking up he has been given today."

Last time Latvia beat Russia, Irbe famously said it was in the honor of his two grandfathers, who "fought Stalinism". The catch is they did it while being members of the Latvian Legion of SS, and they fought "stalinism" together with Hitler.

In the last game with Russia, the fucker got 9 pucks between the pipes. Take that to your nazi grandpas.

GIONTA 4-3

2/22/2006 1:43:22 PM

COME ON BITCHES LETS DO SOMETHING

2/22/2006 1:44:25 PM

well it was a good effort at the end.

2/22/2006 1:52:41 PM

good effort, back to the Canes now

2/22/2006 1:53:22 PM

We killed ourselves with penalties..

Was there any game we dind't lose by 1?? It seems like we were just that one goal short every game..

p.s. - that high sticking was bullshit..

Wish we could have done better, but back to the Canes now.

2/22/2006 1:56:34 PM

The good news is that the US will be LOADED in the future, Phil Kessel, Jack Johnson, Jonathan Toews, Erik Johnson, Jack Skille, Bobby Ryan, Ryan Suter, Zach Parise, Dustin Brown, Al Montoya, just off the top of my head, not to mention Ryan Miller will be in the mix also I think Dipietro will improve with all the experience. Alot of these guys are the ones that won the World Juniors together and I wouldn't be shocked at all to see them win the gold in 1 or 2 games from now. I just hope that the US keep Laviolette on at coach, I really do believe he is the best US coach available, better than Johnny Torts

I was more impressed with our team than I though I would be. We didnt play well, but I think it has more to do with our intensity than skill. One of my buddies was talking mad shit about the USA hockey team, but I dont think its justified. We seemed to play really well when we wanted to, but have massive brain farts/sloppy points in the games that ended up costing us.

The other teams just play with more urgency, and our guys are too relaxed. We COULD compete in this tournament, but it just doesnt mean as much to our players as it does to the other teams.

2/22/2006 2:29:43 PM

Team USa lacked people who could score. I don't think they were relaxed. They looked pretty good in the games I watched. But you gotta shoot more, and hopefully successfully.

2/22/2006 2:33:14 PM

nevermind...

there were some terrible individual preformances, and some great ones, the two best were Cole and Chelios, I hate Chelios so its hard to admit it. Dipietro showed promise for future games, Tkachuk was terrible, he couldn't skate with the Euros and showed no presence infront of the net, and I like him so its hard to admit it. I am afraid Mike Modano is running on empty, which is a shame for how much he has meant to US hockey.

2/22/2006 2:39:15 PM

if it makes anyone feel better the main story won't be the US, the Canadians got knocked oot by Russia 2-0

2/22/2006 4:58:22 PM

Oh snap, Nabby coming up huge!

2/22/2006 5:03:39 PM

Nittymaki
Nabokov

2/22/2006 5:17:52 PM

OLE OLE OLE OLE!!!

2/22/2006 5:33:23 PM

2/22/2006 5:43:12 PM
