Frightfully bad game. Passing was brutal. Not sure on the state of the ice but they need to be a lot better in that area. Missed a simply pass in the last 30 seconds for what would have been an empty netter, instead they ice it. Mismatch taking a stupid penalty behind the offensive goal line late in a one goal game can’t happen. Play that way against a good team and you lose by multiple goals. We’re at the halfway point of the regular season. Tons of room for improvement. Hope to see a large jump up in play next weekend against Denver. Now is the time to start building for the playoffs.

I wish the announcer would stop giving football score updates. Anyone can find the score in two seconds if they want to. Some may not want to hear the score cause they want to watch it later.

I believe both Sanderson and Kleven are eligible for the world juniors next year.

Outshot 23-4 in the last 30 minutes but it doesn’t matter that got the W. Fun game to watch.

US only has 4 SOG in the last 20+ minutes. Need a bit more ozone action.

Us playing with fire

Today’s games

Going to be difficult but 26 of the 41 goals came in two games. They’re averaging 3.75 goals/game in the other four. The US has 34 goals, 18 of those in two games, averaging 4.0 goals/game in the other four. The key to me is winning the special teams battle. If they lose that they lose the game. Definitely the underdog, they will need to play with the lead and not chase the game. Canada hasn’t been really tested yet late in a game. Looking forward to watching this one.

Game time tomorrow is 8:30 CST. Go USA !!

They’ll need to play better and smarter tomorrow to beat Canada. At least they made it to the gold medal game and they have a chance.

Nice goal

Throwing this game away.

Extremely bad unforced penalty on Caufield. Got to be smarter than that.

Nope

Shots now 19-1 Canada. Score is 1-0. It always makes me nervous when my team is dominating but can’t pull away on the scoreboard. That shot discrepancy is not likely to continue and I would expect Finland to make a push at some point.

I believe all the games today can be found here.

If I looked this up right: Sweden’s last group round loss was to the USA on 12/31/2006 (3-2 in ot). A kid named Toews was playing for Canada.

I believe that is 54 straight wins in the group rounds. Amazing streak in any sport but unbelievable in hockey.

Sweden vs Russia

Thanks

Slovakia vs Finland

Why does Finland need a regulation win today ? Wouldn’t one point still give them first place if they beat Canada ? Don’t know what is used for tie breakers but even a regulation loss today by Finland would still let them tie Canada with a win tomorrow. Am I missing something ?
