Whoops, almost give up a shorty. . . now we play 4-4. Tkachuk in the box.

USA on another power play. . . come on guys, make this one count!! 15 1/2 into 2nd.

I was beginning to think I was reporting to myself. Glad you appreciate it. On that note, Finland takes a penalty 12 minutes into 2nd. GO, USA. Get a PP goal!

With 4 seconds left on Finland power play, US gives up a goal 3-2 Finland. We had done awesome up to that point.

Oops, two men down. Why don't we just GIVE them a goal?

Gee, imagine, Hatcher takes a penalty. Come on guys, don't give one up here!!

About 1 1/2 minutes in - power play goal for US ties the game at 2-2. Mathieu Schneider gets this goal on a HUGE shot from the point! GO, USA!!! Let's see if we can actually take a lead here!

In the other game, Sweden is leading Switerland in the 3rd period 5-2. Forsberg is playing and playing well, which is bad for all other teams.

Changed the US goal - Mike Knuble is getting credit for it. 1st period over 2-1 Finland. . . however, US will get powerplay to start the 2nd period, as Saku Koivu takes a high sticking penalty right at the buzzer.

13:14 into 1st Mathieu Schneider gets USA on the board . . . .2-1 Finland.

12:01 into the 1st US gives up yet another short handed goal. . . . 2-0 Finland

1-0 Finland 10:24 in the 1st

2-1 Sweden after 1

Mark Streit scores for the Swiss to tie game at 1-1. (9:00 minutes into the 1st period.)

Henrick Sedin scores at 3:05 of the 1st period to put Sweden up 1-0 on the Swiss. (Gerber is in net - didn't have a chance)

You can follow realtime scores and even written play-by-play at www.nbcolympics.com Click on Ice Hockey on the left hand side when you see live in red, then click on Men's. Towards the right side of the screen there will be a listing of the games and whether they are in progress, final, etc. Anyway, click on In Progress and you will get a screen that gives you the score, penalties, shots on goal, etc. There will also be a link towards the top of that page that says Play-By-Play and if you click on that, you will get a typed play-by-play of the game. I know it is not the same as audio, but it is better than nothing. (Hopefully this helps and makes sense.)

I can't find anything that says they will be on their website. A lot of times if they are televised, they do not do the audio broadcasts. I will do some more checking and see what I can find out.

Maybe the IIHF should start an investigation. . . . . . .

Yeah, let's go out and score. . . .now that everyone thinks we can't. Great strategy by our coaches!!

Agree - lots of guys getting "1st goals of the tourney". . . maybe the floodgates will open?? One can hope, right?

Scoring chances 29 (US) to 11 (Russia) - and we are LOSING? Have to agree with you on this one.

Kovalev - 5-4 Russia

Take that back - US scores. 4-4 I think that was actually the first even strength goal for the US today.

I find it rather frustrating that our "seasoned NHL'ers" can work their butts off take 15 shots on net and have nothing to show for it and a 19 year old Russian takes, what, shot #2 or 3 for the period and in it goes. UGHHHHHH!!

15 minutes left in the game.
