Losing Stecher and LaDue would hurt any goalies GAA. That being said I haven't even looked at Cam's stats compared to last year. USA-RUSSIA today!

Final score: 5-2. Good showing for Matej. Shots were 50-20.

45 saves now for Tomek as the U.S. is up to 50 SOG.

37 shots on goal for the U.S. 32 saves for Tomek through two periods. Some goals he'd probably like back, but he hasn't been bad. Nothing about his game leads one to believe he couldn't get into a game for UND the second half.

Matej may have got caught a bit deep on goal number four. Get out there and be big Mates. This makes me want to see him in a game for UND. He hasn't been bad.

Two zip USA. Didn't see goal number one, zero chance on goal number two.

Will be a great opportunity for Matej to showcase his ability. He will likely see in the neighborhood of 50 shots. Good luck Matej.....play well, but not too well....

Thanks! Forgot to post link.

TSN has a video up about the relationship between Tyson Jost and his mother. It's a must see UND hockey fans. I'd say a bit of a tear jerker..... Glad they let us see that side of him. Great story.

Regardless of who is the Slovakian goalie the U.S. needs to win that game by 5 or 6 goals tomorrow. With a game Thursday against Russia it'd be nice to get up big and just roll four lines and 6 d.

I agree. Maybe that's the plan.

How does Huska not get player of the game for Slovakia?

If Huska is starting tomorrow his coach did him no favors letting him get hung out to dry for 60 minutes. All Canada in that one.

If they plan on Huska tomorrow against the U.S. then I'm guessing Tomek in the third. If they stay with Huska it could mean Tomek tomorrow night.

Saw the first period, didn't see first two goals on him. I'm thinking Tomek in period three.

31-3 shots for Canada. 2 minutes left second period.

Huska with two or three really nice saves, but can't stop em all. 4-0 Canada.

Could be Tomek time if Canada gets to 4 here.

Tie game right now between Canada and Slovakia. Tomek won't get much time if this kid Huska plays like this all tournament.

Finland now 0-2. Has Sweden and and Switzerland left. Possibly looking at not making the knock out round.

Denmark 3.....Finland 2.....late third.

Sioux hockey is more important than USA hockey.....

Russia leads Latvia 3-0 in the first. Latvia goalie not sharp.

You've got to believe the Slovak coaches wouldn't start him with the knowledge that Jost has seen him every day in practice at North Dakota. Then again, you're right....Patrick Roy couldn't save Slovakia tonight, so does it really matter who the goalie is?

Final from Montreal: Swiss 4 Czech Republic 3 in OT.
