This is strange, there are hardly any Team Canada fans on the board right now. I wonder why?

Didn't Cody Franson only sign a one year deal this year?

That will be one hell of a goalie duel for sure.

God bless you for that.

I can't even watch this game, and every website I visit to get real time updates is either terrible (ESPN), incomplete (TSN), or timing out (everyone else). This is absolutely killing me. It's like they didn't have four years to prepare for these games or something.

He's so hot right now.

Inglorious Backes strikes again. Heck of a tourney for him so far.

Not as ugly as Alexander Radulov's ugly face...zing!

How did Latvia get on the board? That seems unlikely and confusing.

What the hell just happened?

Can't believe I'm missing this game right now. JVR scoring already eh? Not too shabby. I wish I could at least find it on the freaking radio.

Only if Carolina retains about 50% of that salary. He gets paid A LOT for his meager NHL production. And he's hurt all the time. But I do like how feisty he is though...dude hits everything.

He's really good internationally, that's for sure. He's like the Finnish Rick Nash.

Who needs a Vezina Trophy winner starting for them anyway?

This is the first time I've tried live streaming at work and none of my videos will load. Apparently there's some sort of block or something. Things are going to get pretty interesting for that USA v. Czech game if this continues.

Wow, just got off the train and into my office and pulled up the score...this got out of hand pretty badly eh?

Personally, I think you're way overpaying for Bogo. He's never really lived up to all his potential. He was supposed to be like Shea Weber, a guy who does it all. And while they're stylistically similar, Bogo doesn't score nearly as much and drops coverage more than he should. He's certainly not bad, pretty good even, but Tatar will score 30 goals in one of the next two years, I don't trade him for any d-man that doesn't produce any more than Bogo does.

I once saw Thomas Vanek score a goal from the moon. Conversely, I once saw Johan Franzen throw a banana at a baby and yell "here's your banana...monkey". I think we all know who the better player is.

Bogo's a good player, but he's not a superstar by any stretch. I'd rather have Trouba.

Does Finland count as an upset since they're the higher seed?

For some reason I think that the Czech team will be a tough game for the Americans. I can see them looking past the Czechs toward Canada and sleep walking through the first period or so. Hopefully, the bring the intensity like they should.

Two whole points? Thems Crosby numbers.

Does Ovechkin even have a point in the tourney so far?

Imagine a line of Ville Leino and Linus Omark. Buffalo just can't help stock piling all the talent.

Here's two things, 1) That interference on Crosby was an interference, and that's coming from an American; 2) What makes Team USA exciting is Team USA...this year, how we're playing. I don't blame Canadian fans for drawing on their rich history, why wouldn't you? But, objectively looking at both teams, ours has played better. That's why we're excited. It always rings a bit untrue when I hear "we'll win because we've always been good" vs. "We'll win because we're playing good right now". It's just a different perspective, and I'm not foolish enough to think that most Americans wouldn't be acting the exact same way if we had the history Canada has. We don't, which is why we rely on how our team is currently playing...and currently we've playing VERY well against better teams than Canada has played.
