wtf is this tape delay s***.

yep i see it that way too. if you can throw someones game off like that, why not? i know id be yelling.

no s***, and to the person that said he'd get picked up on waivers, what team would that be?

this is what we can only hope. maybe it will have taken going back to basics for them to realize whats important. i also think the mule has a chance to be huge, 3 points in 3 straight games back is nothing to deny.

im sure some may be acting like that, but what this game meant to me was beating the best team in the tournament, and especially beating all the canadians here who had such big mouths and totally disappeared when s*** wasnt going their way. im not gonna predict a gold yet, but i definitely think they showed the character and hard work to get there.

you are the sorest ******* loser dude U S A U S A 5-3 !!!!!!!!!!!!

CURLY FRIES!!!!!!!!!! U S A U S A U S A

USA USA USA

theres that great canadian sportsmanship

good post, i definitely think some of the things could carry over to the nhl and improve the game. -no touch icing, im absolutely for. rarely do you see someone beat an icing, and even rarer does it turn into something -no trapezoid, would love to see this come back and see the goalies have free reign behind the net and be able to play the puck more i think the shootout in the olympics is atrocious, let teams win a game as a team, not a one on one bulls*** affair. cananda definitely breathed a sigh of relief the other night when they got to a shootout and had crosby able to shoot 2 out of 4 times.

well latvia has skrastins, bartulis, and ivanans in the nhl. the cool thing about their team this year is 12 of the players came from the same dynamo riga team.

i think there is qualifications, i heard during the russia vs latvia game that latvia earned their spot by winning something, and i was also looking forward to seeing latvia vs kazakhstan ( a made up rivalry by me and my brother in law in nhl 2k5), they played last olympics but kazakhstan didnt make it this year.

what were the 10 minute penalties for? was there a fight?

if hes convicted for it, he could be facing alot of trouble. AZ adopted no tolerance DUI, which for him could include jail time and a huge fine, at the least probation.

just waiting for the canadian fluffers to ruin this thread (ie themule, cern) i think USA has a decent chance at medaling , not gonna predict any yet because they have yet to face a real challenge. chemistry, hardwork, and miller, like others have said, will be the key because they cant win on pure skill alone

good start for USA, got the young guns scoring. miller was great in net, but didnt face to much opposition. i dont think SUI was a very strong opponent, so we'll see against canada, thats the real test IMO

great pressure already, sans the rafalskis ugly turnover

LATVIJA LATVIJA LATVIJA give em hell!!! heres to hoping malkin gets layed out

oh yeah i know its gonna be ugly, but theyve pulled of upsets before. if not, ill be happy to see them play with the heart and pride (heavy checks too) that they bring every game, no matter who the opponent is

LATVIJA LATVIJA

im glad someone decided to bring this back up

it seems you are forgetting that towards the end of last year lilja had cleaned up his game and brought a tasty skill to the lineup called shotblocking that no one aside from eaves and miller seem to know about, and also you seem to be forgetting someone named brett ledba.

eklund has Horton to kings (rumor)
