sagard Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Someone needs to sit Kessel down and force him to watch film of Malkin. No dinking around, get to the top of the circle an snap it off. Totally opens up the dinking around moves for him on later rushes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxdonyms Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Both Sauer and Kyle thought that Canada would cheer for the US tonight? I guess I never questioned it. Maybe that's because I'm so used to the Canadian's cheering forever whichever team we're playing. Oshie draws another penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxdonyms Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 End of the 1st. Russia leads, 1-0 after one. US needs to figure out how to keep the puck in the zone on a PP. Russia is clearing it left and right, relatively easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux,CO Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 USA hockey gets the audio working with 30 seconds left in the 1st period. Damn I wish I didn't have to work tonight, since this one is televised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's because I'm so used to the Canadian's cheering forever whichever team we're playing. Oshie draws another penalty. I can't believe the Canadians are cheering for the Russians. It was one thing to cheer for Finland, Norway and the Czechs. To cheer for the Russians though? THE RUSSIANS? That is unfathomable. There is no way a majority of US fans would ever cheer for the Russians when they play the Canadians. I am completely dumbfounded by it.

To cheer for the Russians though? THE RUSSIANS? That is unfathomable. There is no way a majority of US fans would ever cheer for the Russians when they play the Canadians. I am completely dumbfounded by it. Johnsons elbow must have had a bigger impact than I thought. I can tell you that I would never cheer for the Russians. However, two areas of Canada are completely different than the rest of us, BC and Quebec and I can't begin to explain how they think because I haven't figured it out myself If it is any help I have been told that people from BC are like your Californians whatever that means Edited January 4, 2006 by Sioux_Hab-it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Ouch. That was brutal. Reminds me of some squirt games where one team is really outclassed. The US is going to need to step it up in a big way here to stay in the game. Hate to say it but the highlight of the period may have been Paukovich's big hit on one of the Russians. It's risky with international officiating, but one way to change the momentum in a game (and it REALLY needs changing) is to just go out and hit every chance you get. I'm reading "The Boys of Winter" about the 1980 team, and it's interesting that one of Herb's theories about playing the Russians was to not dump and chase. Basically you work so hard to get the puck from the Russians and then you just voluntarily surrender possession. So tonight the Russians have the puck for, like, 80% of the time, and even on the PP, the US dumps it in and loses possession. Did we forget that lesson? Sagard, you're right especially because he has such a wicked snapshot. Chorney seems to me to be playing very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am completely dumbfounded by it. I want to appolgize for all Canadians regarding the behaviour of the B.C. crowd. I am absolutely appalled at how stupid these people are. I hope the cheer when the U.S. scores is louder than what we heard for the Russians. This is beyond comprehension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pretty sure they cheeared for the Russians last year in GF when they went up against the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Vegas, How did Toews do against Finland? I heard that the TSN guys were down on that line a little for not producing, but I gathered it was directed more at Pouliot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sagard, you're right especially because he has such a wicked snapshot. "The Boys of Winter" is a fun read. I just read it this weekend and I couldn't put it down. You are right on about dump and chase tonight. EJs turnover was a killer. Sprung a Malkin led 3 on 2 with a US forward as one of the defenders.

Diggler Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Paukovich can get a goal for all I care. While he's at it, he should beat up Malkin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that the TSN guys were down on that line a little for not producing, but I gathered it was directed more at Pouliot. They had a few lacklustre shifts on the PP and Pouliot is the problem. He is not playing with enough passion and could find himself being the thirteenth forward in the Gold Medal Game. I think Sutter may want to use Latendresse against the Russians anyway as he has had great success in scoring against them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
