sprig Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Parise and Wisniewki on a short handed 2 on 1, pass doesn't connect. Parise wraps around, and Werner scores on the rebound. 4-3 USA Parise and Wisniewski both get assists. Penalty killed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprig Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Montoya makes a good save, and Sweden takes an INT penalty. Penalty killed by Sweden. 5 minutes remain. Time out Sweden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprig Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Thanks for the finish ( or is that finnish?). My dsl went down the tubes and is barely functional now. Another call to the ISP. They are having major problems lately. Nice win, good game Zach, Brady, and Drew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jk Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 My understanding of the six-team medal round is that the two group winners receive byes, and have only to win two games to win the gold. The second and third place teams in each group play a cross-group play-in game for the right to be in the final four. That makes the upcoming Russia-US game crucial. Current standings in the US group are: US 6 Russia 5 Everyone else 2 or worse If the US at least ties this game, they will win the group and earn the crucial bye. A Russian win will win the group for them. That would put the US in an ugly position: needing to win a play-in game for the right to play a rested and very good Canadian team. After cruising through the first couple of games, I think it was good for the US to face a little adversity against Sweden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprig Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 I wonder if that game is on TV tomorrow on NHL Center Ice? Would seem possible that Canadian TV would pick up that game, but, probably not, since Canada plays the Czechs at the same time. That's probably what you'll get on Center Ice.

sprig Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Sprig are we playing the Canadians in the WJC? NOt in pool play. If it happens it will happen in the medal round, which starts Jan. 2. If the US and Canada finish first in their pools, they wouldn't meet unless they both make it to the gold medal game (or the bronze medal game if both lose in the semi's). The medal round brackets will be set tomorrow following the US/Russia, Canada/Czech, Finland/Switzerland, Sweden/Slovakia games. The Rangers web site has a good page on results, standings and game schedule. The Canadian TV shedule shows the Quarterfinal #1 game televized, which would match A2 against B3 on Jan 2 (if the US loses to Russia, they would be A2). The US could also meet Canada in a semifinal game if one of them finishes second in their pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyeagle Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Would the US & Canada meet if one wins its pool and the other finishes second? I'm not even sure if that is a possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyeagle Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Thanks. Followed your link to the NYR site. I didn't know the top three teams in each pool advanced. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmitzzz Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 USA-Russia game underway. Russia going on the PP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmitzzz Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 PP over... a few good chances for Russia. USA now getting their chances. Hereing ZP and DS names being called quite a bit. Good shift by ZP, Murray, Werner... Giveaway in the US zone requires a big save by Montoya. 14:20 to go in the first. US giving special attention to Ovechkin for Russia. Suter goes down to block a shot to prevent a Russian goal on a wide open net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmitzzz Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Announcer says that Ovechekin will be the #1 pick in the next NHL draft and probably would have been two drafts ago. (maybe he said 1st round) USA on the PP..... O'Sullivan scores from Eaves 12 seconds in to the PP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmitzzz Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Russia going on PP at 10:49 in the first... too many men on the ice for USA. Stupid. Great play by ZP! He was 1 on 2 and drew the penalty! Annoucner cant say enough about this play by ZP... he was taken down when he was 1 on 2, got back up and stole the puck from behind and got a shot on goal and drew the slashing penalty.

01grad Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 It said in the Pioneer Press this morning that these games for Canada and U.S. today are very important that if we don't win or tie we may not advance to the medal round. Is this correct or did they just not explain everything to it's fullest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the US loses, they play a crossover (quarterfinal) game to make the medal round. THe loser of this game (or Russia if a tie) finishes #2 in the A pool and plays #3 from the B pool in a quarterfinal game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
