And what was he score the first time the US played the Swiss? I think your guys peaked to early

Man, well that was total destruction. I think as well as the Canadians played, the Russians played worse.

The Slovaks beat the Swedes too... Tomorrow night should be good. If this is another Canada/USA final, God help us all.

Wow. Some might say it wasn't a good game as there was no nail biting drama but I never counted the Russian's out until it got near the end. They have come from behind to get us before. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the best passing game I have seen played, well since maybe ever!

It's still a long road but if Canada can come back and it results in meeting the US again for the gold, you are right. Vancouver better call and reserve the military to help out now. Win or lose.

Perhaps. But I think the U.S. team just had the same problem in the second game with the Swiss that the Canadian team had with us AND the Swiss. Shots on goal is a nice stat, but the only stat that counts is shots IN goal.

Look at Jack talkin' hockey trash!

Of course, when your NFL team is the Browns...

Just kidding, Jack. Since the Browns hired Mike Holmgren, they became the 2nd favorite team of all Seattle football fans.

IMO Canada is the team to beat now that they have fixed their goaltending situation. Luongo should have been the goaltender this entire tournament. Canada has been the most explosive team thus far offensively with below average goaltending during the US game (which they dominated by the way).

The US team has played very well, most of their sucess has to do with their great goaltending (especially during the Canada game). Defensively they can break down, offensively very good, not as explosive as the Canadians.



I expect a Can vs USA final with Can winning a close game.

Go Canada!

PS: How about those Russians diving like soccer players during last nights game. ...lol

In the first period, yes. The Russians did look shaky in the first period. It was a much closer game in period 2 and 3.

That said, the Canadians came out gangbusters and played a very consistent game. They look to be ready for the finals.

It was not even an even match until Bryzgalov went in which was after it was 6-1... He should have gone in after it went 3-0 IMO, which was only about halfway through the first. After he went in the Russians outscored Canada 2-1.

what a great game last night....that was probably the most dominant display of hockey by one superpower over another that i have ever seen! All game Canada had 5 guys on the ice that just wanted the puck more than any of the 5 guys for Russia...i mean how good were Richards and Toews last night? I also like Pronger a lot more in his more "limited" roll, he's an alright shutdown guy but they can't ask him to provide offence from the back end - he's just too slow. Drew Doughty is just a wizard with the puck...this team is scary good and the great part about it is that their weaker players are also their oldest ones....they are going to be the team to beat for a lot of years. If I were Marian Hossa I'd be fitting for adult diapers right now!

Who's going to watch the women's tonight? Go Canada Go.

Go Girls! Go! That was a great performance!
