Doesn't help that two shoe-ins for the USA were DQed.  (Eichel and that who will play for Toronto.)

Down 2 goals and they refuse to shoot the puck in wide open lanes

[LGR4GM]

Why is Jonathan Quick the starter over Bishop, like why?

Oshie instead of shooting just passed it into a defender... dumbasses

[sodbuster]

Ha, we suck so bad.

Niskanen, what a difference maker

[LGR4GM]

And because Torts the moron used his challenge for nothing, he can't challenge GT interference there. Also why is Quick the starter?

Because he wins big games.

 

*hesitates*

 

Is this a big game? Regardless, should be Schneider.

Sounds like one hell of a sitcom. I can already hear the themesong and 90s intro

[TrueBlueGED]

Cooper has dual citizenship

Did not know that. He should be our coach.

We could assemble a better team.

Only 2 shots against RORs line 5 on 5  in the 2 games he's been there.

Here is a pretty interesting article about how the smaller ice surface in the WC (relative to the Olympics) promotes more offense:  http://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/17582760/nhl-world-cup-hockey-team-canada-how-taking-advantage-nhl-ice-surface

 

I have felt this way since the last Olympics, which I found pretty disappointing in terms of excitement.

That's part of it. The other part is, on a larger ice surface there's more room for the puck to be away from the net even though the high probability scoring ares are still the same size on both rinks.

 

Go to a bigger rink & watch scoring go down even more - all other variables being identical.

U.S. with 3 posts in the last couple minutes.

and a goal

30 seconds to go. Watch for the inevitable cheap shot from Kesler.
