brianvf Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 kristo must have 3 shots per game on the PK. come on USA He's getting more and more playing time as the tourney goes on. I was surprised at how much he was out there against Canada. He'll for sure be fun to watch in a Sioux uni...good wheels on him. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted January 2, 2009 Author Posted January 2, 2009 usa is done and then a usa player throws something at a slovak celbrating a goal in front of usa bench. this coach is a joke. he has no grip on these players at all. embarassing. #8 should be sat. Assistant captain. what a idiot for throwing whatever he did Quote
AZSIOUX Posted January 2, 2009 Author Posted January 2, 2009 where are the cocky usa players now with the hands to the ears?? what a joke of a team and of a coach. embarassing overall. this usa program is a joke and has been for years now. Quote
Ray77 Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 From what I've seen the past few years, it looks like USA hockey could use a major shake up from top to bottom. This is embarassing. Quote
31-9 Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 usa is done and then a usa player throws something at a slovak celbrating a goal in front of usa bench. this coach is a joke. he has no grip on these players at all. embarassing. #8 should be sat. Assistant captain. what a idiot for throwing whatever he did He didn't throw anything. The slovaks were celebrating in front of the US bench (that's klassy, yes with a k) and one of their sticks came flying into the bench so he pushed it back out of his face. Should have played Unice, couldn't be any worse. Quote
brianvf Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 And now Slovakia will lose by at least 5 goals to Sweden. Quote

Ray77 Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 5-2 Slovakia...empty net goal. Thanks for playing, US. Keep the T-shirts. Quote

Let'sGoHawks! Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 GAME OVER what a joke - this program needs to be dismantled and re thought out because this is out right embarassing. wow I agree. Very very sad. Quote
brianvf Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 wheres gordon bombay when you need him He likes to be called Gordie. Flying V time! Quote
Ray77 Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 wheres gordon bombay when you need him Gordon Bombay? How about Ogie Ogelthorpe...or was he Canadian? Quote
The Sicatoka Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 The meltdown started when they blew a three-buff lead over Team RedMaple. It was assured when Rolston didn't go after the official harder for what should have been a major in that game. Rolston tried to make up for it by trying to plead a high-stick-no-goal (it was clean) and the official said no. I was almost expecting him to "fly a Hakstol" at that point. Rolston clearly lost control right there, and when a coach does he loses the team. The lost team now hasn't shown up the next day. Meltdown complete. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted January 2, 2009 Author Posted January 2, 2009 now lucia wont have an excuse for schroeder and fairchild being worn out from the wjt wow, what a joke this team was Quote
brianvf Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 now lucia wont have an excuse for schroeder and fairchild being worn out from the wjt He will still use it though. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted January 2, 2009 Author Posted January 2, 2009 nevermind. they have to stick around for a 5th place game nevermind on that lucia excuse. i hope they play the gopher players every shift in that 5th place game great job usa, way to put a hell of a team together!! Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 now lucia wont have an excuse for schroeder and fairchild being worn out from the wjt wow, what a joke this team was They get to keep playing for 5th...so if they play poor against the Sioux, the reason will still be that they are really tired and worn out. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted January 2, 2009 Author Posted January 2, 2009 They get to keep playing for 5th...so if they play poor against the Sioux, the reason will still be that they are really tired and worn out. i say lucia calls team usa and tells them to sit those guys seriously, who cares. just another embrassing usa team Quote
Ray77 Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 I am as disappointed as the next guy with this showing, but in their defense they did badly outplay the Slovakia team today. The Slovakian goalie had 44 saves (many of them outstanding) compared to McCollum's 14. McCollum may very well be the best goalie and deserved to be on the team and to start, but he shat the bed today and should have been pulled. I agree with whoever said it that this started vs. Canada, when they started showboating in front of the Canadian bench. Instead of being pissed about the sucker punch, Rolston should have given his players an a** chewing for their antics against Canada. A game is not 10 minutes long, and Canada is the WRONG team to be doing that against. It shouldn't happen against any team, especially Canada. This has become too commonplace for US teams to have such an embarassing showing at this tournament, and it needs to change. Quote
