Reilly 24 Report post Posted January 2, 2009 yep, McCollum has got WAYS to go. He's not very good against elite players his own age (or younger). He's been shaky the entire tournament and rarely came up with the big save. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FinRedWing 172 Report post Posted January 2, 2009 Wow, McCollum is really impressive! I'll say it again, can't believe how wings could pick him instead of markstrom Hey,let's draft that Janus kid this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FinRedWing 172 Report post Posted January 2, 2009 Isn't he already picked? He's 19 years old hmm Crappy Finnish play-by-play guy said that only their first line center has been drafted to the NHL. Don't trust him one bit though,have to do some research. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't trust him one bit though,have to do some research. Mertaranta doesn't do WJC eh? And the TSN play by play guys said that Janus hasn't been drafted yet either. McCollum needs to stop giving up such s***ty rebounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Shoreline Report post Posted January 2, 2009 Welp, it's pretty much over now. U.S. players all staring at the goalie and not taking out bodies in front of the net. Just looks like it's not their year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just looks like it's not their year. Goaltending cost them this year. It's been horrible. Unice should have gotten a few starts. McCollum never made the big save. Ever. In a game like tonight when clearly the US team isn't playing their best, your goalie can't let in goals that normally should be saves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FinRedWing 172 Report post Posted January 2, 2009 Mertaranta doesn't do WJC eh? Sadly,no. Some crappy ski jumping announcer trying to do hockey play-by-play. Things just got a lot easier for Sweden. Jävla. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seeinred 1,488 Report post Posted January 2, 2009 Nice goal. Maybe the hurrit will have as much trouble with the Slovaks as the Americans have. (I hope Swedes don't know that word ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sether 5 Report post Posted January 2, 2009 If I were Sweden, I'm not taking Slovakia lightly, Thats what got the US in trouble. Should've heard Pierre MacGuire rip McCollum a new one after the second Slovakia goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Donaldjr2448 43 Report post Posted January 2, 2009 Well.... I think the Wings made a mistake by drafting McCollum (-1Spelling), we should trade for the Slovak Goalie!! He was awesome in this game! I don't think Sweden will have a problem with him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adtthosa 5 Report post Posted January 2, 2009 The bottom two teams in each pool begin a relegation round after the Round Robin where they each play each other and the teams with the two best records in those games come back again next year while the bottom two teams lose their spots. What an unbelievable performance by Janus today. McCollum looked horrible, I hope he is able to get past this for our sake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted January 3, 2009 Slovakia in the semis, eh? Can't say I'm worried, they looked horrible in the group match against us, and even though we only won 3-1 it could have been much bigger numbers. I'd go so far as to say it'd be a fiasco if we don't reach the finals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Four Report post Posted January 3, 2009 Me too brother! I'm with you the WJC are probably my favorite time of the year. Your off for holidays usually, and you get to cheer on your country while there giving 110% every night. These kids have to play hard, they have to for there countries. That's everyone, the slovaks, the germans, everyone. That's why its so great to watch, intense hockey. And holy cow! The Slovaks are up 2-1 on the US right now and Janus is robbing them! McCollum looks asleep at the wheel, not looking good. Lol, I've had a great two days. Canada vs USA win and they the Winter Classic win and a day off of work. LOVE IT.

Cern 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2009 Wow, did the Canadians come there just to boo team USA? Na na naaaa na Na na naaaa na Hey heeeeeey Goodbye Seriously though, I'm amazed the US lost that game. The Slovak goalie came in determined not to be intimidated by the US team and it payed off big for his team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cusimano_brothers 1,655 Report post Posted January 3, 2009 I heard a comment on TSN this morning about how Team USA needed Ron Wilson back as Coach. And I thought, he's already got a job with a losing hockey club, why would he want two? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
