Also, Pasha appears to be still skating on one leg. Very worrisome for the rest of our season.

Agree.He looks Bertuzzi-like slow out there

Good for Carlson. If I have to hear one more think about the "unproven" defense of Team USA I'm going to puke. Like Faulk, Carlson, and Shattenkirk aren't playing 25 minutes a night in the National Hockey League.

Anyway, good for Team USA, right where they should be. And good for Slovakia too, they actually fielded a pretty good squad all things considered.

It's almost time...

This might be my favorite post...ever.

No jump in his step but ofcourse Ovie with 1st goal and assist for russia.

That's the only time I ever want Tatar to NOT score.

[Bramsy 16]

Tatar, 1-1

[RedWang 422]

Hahaha Tatar with an absolute snipe gor Slovakias first!

[Dave 324]

Tatar with a goal for Slovakia. Tatar is clutch.

[RedWang 422]

Im so beyond happy we have such a talented young player in Tatar.

[vladdy16 2,154]

LOL I got all excited when Tatar scored and then I went "Oh, wait.."

And Kessler makes it 2-1

[pucktividi 472]

[Hairy Lime 234]

I think Tatar upset the Americans...

[kipwinger 8,520]

Hmmmm, this is going to get out of hand at this pace.

[pucktividi 472]

Jeglič for Slovenia

[kipwinger 8,520]

Wow, I really thought Slovakia would hang around a bit longer

[evilmrt 636]

slovakia has more talent than this....

It looked like their strategy in the first was "let's not get blown out early."

Tatar has been their best player. If I was GM for another team I'd be talking to Holland trying to get him.

[evilmrt 636]

Bye bye Halak!!

I guess these first games are prone to blowout-itis.

Wow, Team USA is about to run up the score. 6-1 with half the game left.

[amato 3,210]

Flood gates = open. USA USA USA!!

[SDavis35 140]

Stunner by the Americans. I thought the Slovaks were better than the Slovenians. Maybe it's a statement game for USA, but Slovaks can't get their act together.

Russians are struggling on the other hand. 2-1 over Slovenia.

[evilmrt 636]

7-1 Dustin Brown scores

Like they just pointed out, goals scored is a tie breaker in this tournament....so Team USA is banking a load of them.

[pucktividi 472]

Kovalchuk PP goal 3-1

Jeglič again 3-2

[amato 3,210]
