Anthony DeAngelo looked pretty good on D...at least from what I saw of him.

Iowa may have matched up better with Missouri since they waxed Indiana earlier this season. I think Tennessee is an SEC team poised to break out of its doldrums.

The USA wound up in relegation play in 2012...not that gfhockey wants to blame that one on their head coach...

613 final - Sweden on to the semi-finals. Last year's champion has been eliminated from the tournament.

6-3 Sweden scores an ENG with 4 seconds left...

Sweden now up 5-3 over Finland...Finns pull their goalie...

Sweden now up on Finland 4-3 in the 3rd...

A waste of an opportunity to take on a FBS venture when you can't afford FCS? Maybe I'm in the minority here in thinking that that idea is ludicrous.

Finland and Sweden tied at 3 near the end of the 2nd period...

Your forte isn't drilling oil, it's drinking beer and b*tching about the coaching.

You should contact USA Hockey immediately and volunteer your services. With your keen insight and knowledge of the game, there's little doubt you could lead the team to a plethora of gold metals, er, medals. Of course, you might not be interested in the job as rules probably prohibit you from drinking beer while on the bench.

Captain Jack went thru the handshake line and didn't say a word to a single Russian player and simply stared blankly ahead. C'mon, Jack, be better than that.

USA 11 Denmark 3 Finland 4 USA 1 Czech Republic 5 USA 2 Canada 3 USA 2 Hello relegation round. Figured it out yet, gfhockey, or do you just want to fire everyone?

USA needs to figure out how to beat Russia in this tournament. As for the rest of the way, I'm putting the ABC rule into effect. Anyone...but...Canada.

Where was Eichel trying to send that back-hand pass to? Or was he trying to back-hand a SOG from just inside the blue line?

USA again trying to pass across the ice with a couple of Russian sticks in the way...31 seconds left in the game.

2:30 left in the game

40 shots on goal for Team USA today...really need one to go in the net.

6:00 left...c'mon USA!

HUGE goal by Werenski to make it 3-2. Looked innocent enough but it counts. Goalie looked frustrated there - maybe USA can capitalize again.

I thought the same thing...dilly-dallied around for another 10 seconds before play was stopped.

Need one here on a 5 x 3 PP...badly...

Groan...3-1 former CCCPers

Switzerland defeats Germany 5-2 in relegation game #1. The Germans face elimination in tomorrow's game #2.

DeAngelo with a bullet! 2-1 former Communists
