US kills the penalty...2:30 to go in the 1st.

USA penalty.

Third Canadian penalty for checking. USA's third PP coming up.

And just like that - a penalty on USA. USA's PP looks good - great puck control and they get the puck to the net. They've had their chances, just haven't scored.

They need to capitalize and score on this PP. You can bet that the next penalty called will not be on Canada.

HUGE glove save by the Canadian goalie.

Yeah, there's no way that will ever happen.

I think he was...and please don't call him Shirley.

What is the lowest common denominator on SS.com? Hint: I've quoted his post here.

"Checking line" with 2 goals!

What did I say? The Backes line is out there as a checking line!

That was quick!

I like it! Use the Backes line to bang and the rest can score!

Russians hanging around center ice, looking unsure of what to do. Gave the crowd a half-azsed stick salute and there were a smattering of cheers along with a lot of whistles (boos).

How about these? Can they help to describe it?

Jokinen just had a chance to ice the game.

Just remember - he has to stay in Russia after the Olympics. Something to think about...

Big PP for Russia here.

They may say that but they don't truly believe that.

Boy, Slovakia handled the end of this game terribly. They had major pressure with about 1:30 to go and didn't pull their goalie. Then took a penalty. Then down a man, pulled him with about 45 seconds to go and got scored on. Nice work.

Yeah, I must be way behind.

Slovakia penalty with 52 seconds to go. That should do it.
