darksabre Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 Great action on NHL network right now too, Switzerland and Canada. My "last channel" button is getting a workout today.
DR HOLLIDAY Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 Great action on NHL network right now too, Switzerland and Canada. My "last channel" button is getting a workout today. Same here, good thing I had to put new batteries in a few days ago........ :beer:
Eleven Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Posted January 4, 2010 Tied at 1 in the second, but I'm determined to get to bed early tonight. Hopefully, there's a championship game--with the USA in it--to watch tomorrow evening.
carpandean Posted January 4, 2010 Report Posted January 4, 2010 Nice win for the US! Tied going into the third, but blew a 5:00 PP early in the period. However, they responded with an even strength goal, then a shorty and finally an empty netter to take it 5-2. Big game tomorrow when they face Canada for the Gold!

carpandean Posted January 4, 2010 Report Posted January 4, 2010 Tuesday. ;) Damn, two minutes later and I would have been correct. :blush:
Eleven Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Posted January 4, 2010 Damn, two minutes later and I would have been correct. :blush: Damn, I was looking forward to watching that tonight!
wjag Posted January 4, 2010 Report Posted January 4, 2010 Watched 1+ periods. Sweden could flat out fly. Glad to see that USA gets a rematch at Canada.
tasker48b Posted January 4, 2010 Report Posted January 4, 2010 Should be a great CAN-USA final. I was impressed with USA's Tyler Johnson (#10) in the NYE game. If I recall correctly, I wasn't the only one as he won the "USA player of the game award". Now, my bar tab from that night and my overall groginess on January 1 indicate that I wasn't in full scouting mode when I was watching the game. However, I was shocked to learn that Tyler Johnson hasn't been drafted. He was born in 1990 and was eligible for the 2009 draft. He made the USA Junior team last year, one of only a few returning players. Real eye-opening that a good skater, who plays hard, is defensively responsible, and has nice finishing touch (see 1st goal against Sweden), and who was among the top US players last year was judged to be a less desirable pro-prospect than at least 180 players in 2009. There must be alot of real good hockey players out there.

shrader Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 I turned on the 3rd period of the re-air of the US-Sweden game yesterday after work without knowing the result. Right after that 5 minute PP, they ran a thing at the bottom of the screen that said "Canada and USA advance to championship". Thanks a lot NHL network. :wallbash:
carpandean Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 ever, I was shocked to learn that Tyler Johnson hasn't been drafted. He was born in 1990 and was eligible for the 2009 draft. He made the USA Junior team last year, one of only a few returning players. Real eye-opening that a good skater, who plays hard, is defensively responsible, and has nice finishing touch (see 1st goal against Sweden), and who was among the top US players last year was judged to be a less desirable pro-prospect than at least 180 players in 2009. If you look at the guys around him (above and below him) in scoring just on his team, they were all drafted last year. The only thing that I can figure is that he was late getting involved - it was only his second season in the WHL and the first wasn't anything special - and being as small as he is, nobody want to take the risk without seeing more evidence. He's a PPG player again this year, which is decent in the WHL, so assuming that he is eligible this year, he should get picked up, even if it's in a late round. BTW, that 5 min US PP was as frustrating to watch as a Sabres' 5 min PP.
shrader Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 BTW, that 5 min US PP was as frustrating to watch as a Sabres' 5 min PP. I couldn't understand why Warsofsky didn't get any time on that powerplay. I haven't seen much of the tourney, so maybe he's struggling (he did make a poor play on that late tying SHG in the Canada game), but he's the prototypical powerplay QB, a Brian Rafalski-type. His skating would have definitely helped that mostly immobile PP they had going.
Eleven Posted January 6, 2010 Author Report Posted January 6, 2010 Tied up by the good guys, and the Saskatoonians are Saskasilent.
carpandean Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 Luke Adam lights the lamp! Damn, I missed it. Just turned it on when US was about to score. Oh, and there they go again. USA! USA!
carpandean Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 Did Canada just get called for traveling? Edit: shows how often charging is called is called in the NHL. Never knew it was the same signal as basketball's traveling.
carpandean Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 US on the PP! US: Canada: :censored: :censored:
repster Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 Luke!! OK he got the assist. Boy both goalies look pretty shaky.
carpandean Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 Adam with number 2 on the night ties it. US changes it goaltender. Edit: they're saying that Adams didn't make contact with the puck when he crashed the net, so Hall gets the goal and Adam get the assist (passed it to Hall before crashing.) US: Canada: :censored: :censored: :censored:
Eleven Posted January 6, 2010 Author Report Posted January 6, 2010 I don't have the Uncle Sam hat, but it's 4-3 Yanks!
