Might be, although watching this Swede referee is like watching Don Adam. Can't figure out any pattern or consistency to what he calls.

On a more positive note, Toews should get an assist on the tieing goal.

That was a typically weak Ulf call on Geoffrion. He made many like that in the earlier game I watched.

Canada has shortened the bench, Toews has been out every other shift and has been good every shift this period.

Still no go for me

Ulf is warming up the whistle.

Thought we were etats unis. Think that's where the EU might be coming from.

Big save by Frazee on the back door pass (Canada PP).

No, the goal.

Have not been able to access that page since before the game started.

Looks like the Chorney pass goes off the Canadian dman, so he'll get the goal. 1-0 US

Shots listed at 11-9 US after one; not sure if it's the Finnish female hockey player or not (doing the stats).

Abdelkador to the box just before the period ends. 0-0 after one; a few good chances for each team on the PP, but the goalies made the saves. US will start the second short handed.

Now Lee picks up an int. penalty. Sioux are doing a lot of sitting in the box.

Each team has killed a penalty. Price the busier goalie thus far, and he's been sharp.

And they've got the Swede Ulf, same referee that was brutal in the Canada/Slovakia game. Could be a special teams nightmare

Check out the Team Canada Report, with a stitched face Toew's interview,

GK=Goal Keeper, out is when they leave the box, go out on the ice, and are ready for the opening faceoff. That's just my guess

Both semis will be on TSN, not sure if Center Ice will show the Russia/Sweden game, however.

Not a typical box score, but this page has links to all game stats as well as all other stats you may think of wanting to see for the tourney.

She did finally get the US/Finland game stats right, maybe noone left to talk to in the press box

Slovakia lost to the Swiss and will head back to the B pool next year. Germany vs. Belarus will be played tomorrow.

Better have some broadband internet, as we'll get streaming French video tomorrow. (Sounds as exotic as a female Finnish hockey player in the press box)

Czechs are getting third period penalties just like Finland, and now trail Sweden 5-1

Correct, as long a Sweden wins, which it appears they will. They will invoke the Gopher rule and get the night game US will be back on the ice in about 18 hours after traveling to Leksand, to take on a well rested Canadian team.
