February 15, 200620 yr Author question to the hockey buffs...is there any reason the us should have tied in this game...i thought latvia wasn't so good??? Artis Irbe was unbelievable and that insane Latvian crowd really gave their team a boost. We still should have won though.
February 15, 200620 yr Latvia is an improving team and all that, but there's no excuse for not winning that game.
February 16, 200620 yr David Aebischer just led Switzerland past the Czech Republic 3-2. :o ! Biggest upset of the tourney easily.
February 16, 200620 yr This Latvia team is quickly picking up steam to become the biggest upset machine since the Miracle on Ice. Wow these guys are playing for tooth and nail here.
February 16, 200620 yr US bounces back with a 4-1 win...next four days the big three games...gotta take at least one just to make sure they make it to the quarters
February 16, 200620 yr Author Almost all the goalies were wearing their helmets from their respective NHL teams except Luongo :plain.
February 18, 200620 yr Author Canada shut out by the Swiss.....that's damn sweet. What an awesome game. Some interesting stats to break down just how huge of a victor this was for the Swiss... NHL Players on Switzerland: 3 NHL Players on Team Canada: 23 NHL award winners on Switzerland: 0 NHL award winners on Team Canada: 18 NHL All-Stars on Switzerland: 0 NHL All-Stars on Team Canada: 17 Switzerland players with a Stanley Cup: 1 Team Canada players with a Stanley Cup: 10 Final score: Switzerland 2 - Canada 0. :lol
February 18, 200620 yr Well we lost to Slovakia......I don't know whether we will make the quarters at this rate.
February 18, 200620 yr Anyone else watch that incredible Finland vs. Czech Republic game? Wow. What a great game.
February 18, 200620 yr I watched it. Didn't think it was "incredible" by any means, though it was pretty good.
February 19, 200620 yr US tied at 1-1 with Sweden in the second period. They have had two-two man advantages for 1 minute 45 both times. Failed to score or really get more than 2-3 good shots off of them Been a little bit of a slow paced games outside of the power plays
February 19, 200620 yr Author Kovalchuk with the first 4 goal game since Pavel Bure in 1998 vs. Finland.
February 19, 200620 yr With the USA losing to Sweeden how does this pan out for them to make it out of the Robin games and have a shot to medal. They played well against sweeden in every categorie except offensive. Give credit to sweeden though, played GREAT Defense....
February 19, 200620 yr Italy lost 4-1 against the Czech Republic! Too strong for us! we will not advance to quarter final since Italy just got a 3-3 tie against Germany. Next and last game is against Switzerland which in my opinion is the big surprise of this Olympics! We had much hopes in the Blue Team but stil long long to go to get the top8 of the world!
February 20, 200620 yr Author Mike Emrick is an IDIOT. "Jussi Jokinen passes it to his brother Olli" :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol Hey Mike, newsflash: Olli and Jussi aren't related.
February 20, 200620 yr Author NBC needs to learn how to broadcast a f***ing hockey game. The first 2 goals in the Finland vs. Canada game happened during a commercial break. Italy lost 4-1 against the Czech Republic! Too strong for us! we will not advance to quarter final since Italy just got a 3-3 tie against Germany. Next and last game is against Switzerland which in my opinion is the big surprise of this Olympics! We had much hopes in the Blue Team but stil long long to go to get the top8 of the world! Team USA will advance to the quarter finals, the only way we won't is if Latvia can overcome a 17 goal differential in 1 game. We're in the quarter finals.
