[Freak]

No game thread?

Canada getting way too many shots early.

The lone goal was pure gift.

I don't know much about hockey, but I really want to see us pull this out. Do you guys think we have a good chance down one? Canada has seemed unstoppable since we beat them.

Our zone discipline isnt good, they need to spread out the D with solid passing instead of instantly devolving into a clusterF down front.

As it stands, we're in this one, despite subpar play.

They certainly didn't outplay us.

I don't know much about hockey either but I think it will be difficult for the USA to pull this one out. I imagine, like in most other sports, beating a quality team twice in a tournament is a tough task.

+1

Canada is wanting revenge, and you don't make Canadians mad over Hockey.

Yep. Just got outhustled.

If things continue like they have been, I don't think we'll win but we'll be in it the whole game.

 

[tvolsfan]

Seems like they've had quite a few more chances than we have... Hope we turn it around.

 

[vol_in_ar]

Let's go USA....
a US win, will deflate a whole country

They lead 10-8 in shots on goal.

They lead 10-8 in shots on goal.

It sure seemed more one sided than that.

 

[tvolsfan]

It sure seemed more one sided than that.

That's what I was thinking. I guess I was wrong...

 

[BigPapaVol]

It sure seemed more one sided than that.

really wasn't. They disnt have but one good chance aside from the turnover and we essentially had 2. Even the power play was awful for Canada.

down 0-1 after the first

come on US, you can do this!

 

[tvolsfan]

I guess I haven't watched enough hockey to determine what makes a good chance. Hope we pull this out.

Same here. I was basing it on the number of 'groans' from the Canadian fans in attendance. :lol:

 

[bam15]

[BigPapaVol]

high sticking? That's all freaking Nash does for D.

NBC should have Don Cherry, providing some coverage

I can relate to that in basketball. Before Tennessee got good at basketball they never got any airtime up here, so I never really watched any basketball on TV and I only played for a year at a young age. When I first started watching, the only way I could tell who fouls were called on was by watching the benches reaction every time the officials blew the whistle.

 

[tvolsfan]

Well that sucks.

 

[Freak]

Another goal by the Canadians.

 

[TrueOrange]

well crap, 2-0 Canada

now i'm kinda wishing we were playing russia or that other team instead

Again, I don't know much about hockey, but it seems like the USA is on the defensive side of the ice most of the time -- with the exception of US PP's.
