Canada wins.

DO! USA ties it again!

Do or die...Jack Johnson again.

Wow! Another shoot-out round. Mueller scores in sudden death.

Toews vs Frazee...score. 2-1 Canada. It's all up to Jack Johnson.

Mueller!

Crap. 1-0 Canada.

No question about that, PCM. I watched part of the video of the first game and I saw USA badly outplayed by Canada.

I agree totally. Only eclipsed in foolishness by the World Cup of Soccer being decided on penalty kicks.

Ohmygosh a shot off the crossbar!

dagies, did you forget that the Olympics in 1994 was decided this very same way? Sweden Defeats Canada and Claims Gold Medal

Nice officiating there, eh? Interference?

Worse, they hit Sr.!

OK, I know there is still plenty of time left, but this would rank right up there on a list of great upsets, at least in my very humble opinion.

NATO wasn't happy when we joined The Arab League, so they talked to the Warsaw Pact countries who lobbied the UN. Obviously, the Axis of Evil was delighted with the result.

I think it was just after we got kicked out of OPEC.

Let's go USA!

My goal is simply to re-pass HockeyMom, who apparently has a lot of time on her hands these days.

At 5,918 posts yourself, Goon, you're no "employee of the year" either.

Will PCM get some type of award when he records his 10,000th post?

Yea, because NO ONE else has black as their primary color. Nothing says "SIOUX" like a sea of green inside Mariucci Arena. Black? That just blends in with everything. I, for one, don't like the Sioux "third jersey." If you're going to do a third jersey, at least make a template or logo change on the front. A black jersey would be cool if it had "SIOUX" written diagonally on the front and maybe small Sioux patch logos on the shoulders. As long as Nike continues to invade college hockey, you'll see the templates that are easily changeable for doing other team jerseys. Before long, Sioux hockey will look like Oregon football. Just my two cents...

The World Jr tournament is second ONLY to the Olympics in Canada's eyes.

Stop Nike insanity! The new jerseys are template-tastic!

Talk to any hockey fan in Canada, Goon. Winning the WJC ranks a close second to winning the Olympics in the eyes of Team Canada. For the last WJC in Grand Forks, I remember reading somewhere that any time the Canadian team was on TV, somewhere in the neighborhood of 80% of the TVs turned on in Canada were tuned into that game. I challenge you to find 80 TV's TOTAL in America outside of Grand Forks that were watching the same thing. Same thing for the 2004 World Cup of Hockey...the rest of the world rallies around their countries and as I walk to the Excel Energy Center for the big semi-final game between USA and Finland, several people on the street commented about how they didn't know the Wild had started already! Apparently hockey is, was, and always will be a niche sport in the United States. Sad, but true.
