The Swiss are playing out of their minds, especially Hiller. I wonder if Lindy is checking out some of the opposing talent? Could the Sabres use a player like Streit?

Speaking of which...Lindy should have been the HEAD coach. Not a coincidence Yzerman is the GM.

So much for sportsmanship, eh, Cindy? Don't give the Swiss any credit for playing well; Canada just passed up some chances to blow them out early (I'm paraphrasing, of course.) :rolleyes:

Is it just me or is Streit playing as well as anyone we've seen over the first couple games? He's been consistently good against both the US and Canada. I'd take him in a heartbeat.

 

GO USA!!!

Crosby wins it ... on his second SO attempt. I dislike that rule.

 

Out of the two sports that I know of that have shootouts, only the Olympic version of hockey allows a shooter to go again before his/her entire team has tried. Bad, bad. But let's face it; Canada has better shooters overall than does Suisse, and Canada probably would have won.

 

But what a great game!

This may have been mentioned before, but how weird is to see an "illegal body check" in women's hockey? It's HOCKEY!! It's one thing in our weekly beer league, but it's just strange in a "real" game.

It is a little weird, but them's the rules. OTOH, I hear that their locker room is a lot more fun to visit.

The AHL switched back, but they used to have five designated shooters, who (I believe) could shoot any number of times after the first best-of-five.
