Eleven Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 Lots of guys skating into teammates on both sides; good to see the USA up one after one. Quote
North Buffalo Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 Too Bad NBC isn't also showing the Russia Slovenia game. I would click back and forth or have picture in picture working. Annoying along with the announcers. Stuck home with kids in the snow near NYC. Suppose to get 14 inches today. We will see. I remember walking to school after 2 ft overnite. But it is scary driving around here with all the idiot soccer mom's in there SUVs and Wallstreet knuckle heads in their Bimmers who have no clue and insist on tailgating at 55mpg plus. I am staying home. Quote
darksabre Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 Nice shot by Tatar on that off side goal. Too Bad NBC isn't also showing the Russia Slovenia game.

North Buffalo Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) I just saw that... nice... Thought morning Joe would still be on. This is much better and Slovenia just scored. US just scored 2 after Slovaki tied it early in 2nd. Wow. I can't blink. Edited February 13, 2014 by North Buffalo Quote
darksabre Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 I just saw that... nice... Thought morning Joe would still be on. This is much better and Slovenia just scored. The wheels are already falling off for Slovakia against the US so this game might be more interesting. Quote
plenzmd1 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 Pierre is really going to try and show his knowledge for a national audience eh? He is going to be unbearable in the later games Quote
Kristian Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Lots of guys skating into teammates on both sides; good to see the USA up one after one. Took me 20 minutes before I could tell the teams apart. Similar colors, sure, but identical color schemes and patterns, just flipped? Come on. Edited February 13, 2014 by Kristian Quote
Huckleberry Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 Its one of the red wings players i'd love to see on our team, love his speed and skill set. Nice shot by Tatar on that off side goal. Quote
darksabre Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Russia scores but Slovenia gets one right back! Jeglic has both goals. Edited February 13, 2014 by d4rksabre Quote
Campy Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 Keep scoring USA, run up the goal differential! Quote
Huckleberry Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 well that went bad real fast for slovakia, but like they said they are missing some key offense and defense they had in 2010. Gaborik , vysnovsky and demitra Quote
Eleven Posted February 13, 2014 Author Report Posted February 13, 2014 So I missed the second period. I guess nothing happened? Seriously, I'm curious as to the Slovak goal. Since they had no quality chances in the first, I'm wondering what it looked like. Quote
North Buffalo Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Loving it, I forget the lead NBC announcer's name, but they were discussing a good day for a D man, not having his name mentioned and then asked Millbury the question if it was a good day for an announcer if no one was complaining about him. He answered yes for me. Millbury may need a little hate sent his way. So I missed the second period. I guess nothing happened? Seriously, I'm curious as to the Slovak goal. Since they had no quality chances in the first, I'm wondering what it looked like. Blown offsides call, the puck came out and right back in. D was caught flat footed. 7-1 USA. Kessel line and Kessler line and Kane were buzzing. Edited February 13, 2014 by North Buffalo Quote
cdexchange Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) So I missed the second period. I guess nothing happened? Seriously, I'm curious as to the Slovak goal. Since they had no quality chances in the first, I'm wondering what it looked like. Shouldn't have even counted...it was very clearly offsides on the play. Should be 7-0 now. So with such an ass-whooping in the first game, is Bylsma gonna just stick with Quick vs Russia? Not that Quick has had to do much today, but I would say Quick has looked quite good in limited action. Edited February 13, 2014 by cdexchange Quote
darksabre Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 Welp, I guess hockey is over for me for today. Quote

So with such an ass-whooping in the first game, is Bylsma gonna just stick with Quick vs Russia? (not that Quick has had to do much today). There was a lot of speculation on the radio yesterday that Miller would get the start against Russia, but I think it's a bad idea. Not that any of these games count anyway (the best a team can do is earn a one-game bye in the medal round; the worst is to lose the same bye, since every team makes the medal round), but I'd start the same guy. The team needs to get used to playing in front of someone, and they look comfortable in front of Quick. Miller can have the Sunday start against Slovenia so Quick doesn't have to play back-to-back. At least, that's what I'd do at this point. Welp, I guess hockey is over for me for today. Not going to follow the noon game? Quote

dEnnis the Menace Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 Slovakia apparently had dressed 8 defensemen (twitter post on the side of the NBC.com broadcast). That game escalated quickly. Quick didn't have to do much work. Can't wait till Saturday. Quote
Huckleberry Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 That goal from Tata was nice though, really like this kid. I'm at a point I'd trade ennis for him :D Quote
bunomatic Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 Miller can only dream of that kind of goal support in Buff. Should be a great game against mother Russia. Quote
