Not sure who is in position for the 4th bye, but it won't be the USA. Might have been us if we hadn't defecated all over ourselves against Slovenia.

Wilbur Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I honestly can’t see why Gionta hasn’t gone toe to toe goal scoring wise with Kovalchuk......somebody call the head coach of the team he plays for back here in the States.

MafiaMan Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Great decision, Bettman. In every other sport, countries send their very best. In hockey, we send Brian Gionta and some guy who played goalie at Mercyhurst College. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pump It Up Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 USA just completely overmatched. Did anyone watch the Russia/Slovak game? How did they lose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MafiaMan Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Somebody at the IOC dropped the ball and let Russia harken back to the golden days of yore and all glory for the state and Communist party. Considering all the doping going back on in the CCCP era, this team should be wearing pink tutus out there and NOT red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pump It Up Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 The IOC sanctions were classic milquetoast. I get allowing innocent individual athletes to compete, but they're collecting team gold medals in a year in which they should have been banned.

MafiaMan Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 REALLY? We're gonna call that weak cross-check on Gilroy while letting that Ivan Drago punch to the face in the 2nd go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 How many goals does Gionta have? The kids woke up and it’s Tom and Jerry mania right now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoalieMask Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 So it’s an “Eighth-Final” round game on Tuesday vs a Finland / Sweden / Canada type team? Someone who was second in their group? We will find out tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually a cool story - they wanted some "spirit" colors to differentiate themselves from the Czechs and Slovenskos of the world. I double-checked with the SiouxSports.com Board of Jerseys and we'll allow it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
