I can't wait, I hope Miller plays well. Go Good Guys(a.k.a. GO USA)!!!

[chubluv]

Brodeur is flopping around and Crosby has an own goal. :lmao:

[hydro]

This is getting me pumped for Playoff hockey. The hitting and speed is just awesome.

[chubluv]

I agree this game is awesome so far I hope both teams keep up the intensity for the rest of the game.

[Ebenezer]

Is there some way the Sabres can trade for Rafalski?

[SpillerThrills]

Is there some way the Sabres can trade for Rafalski?


Rafalski for Lalime straight up sounds good to me!!! haha

[chubluv]

Is there some way the Sabres can trade for Rafalski?

They can what ever they want except Miller. Maybe William Shatner can negotiate a trade for us we know DR wont.

[SaviorEdwards]

LOL we need more shots!!!!

[Ebenezer]

I expect a full out assault by the canadians in the 2nd.

[OpIv37]

I expect a full out assault by the canadians in the 2nd.

the assault was already starting at the end of the first.

[SaviorEdwards]

the assault was already starting at the end of the first.

it was brutal, im thankful we're not down 3-2

[Slim]

And here comes the onslaught.

[chubluv]

the USA needs to stop watching the Canadians skate around them in their own end.

[Ebenezer]

for old time sake...


Chris DDDDRRRUUUURRRRRYYYYYYYYYYY

[THATHURMANATOR]

WHAT A GAME!!!!

[Dozerdog]

Amazing end to end action. Even though I have a DVR, I can't wait for the 2nd intermission



(I gotta pee!)

[MikeInRoch]

That pass to set up Drury was amazing.

[Bufftp]

If the NHL was like this they would have more fans.

[The Spaz]

1 more period. Go USA!

[YardRat]

Wow. The way that period started out it looked like two different levels of players were on the ice. Unbelievable that the USA managed to hold on to the lead.

[Ebenezer]

If the NHL was like this they would have more fans.
no way to sustain this type of play for 82 games.

[chubluv]

20 minutes to go. Lets go USA!!!! Have to get to Marty hes looking very sloppy tonight so far. Pressure him so he cracks some more.

[YardRat]

I dunno...both goalies looked pretty solid in the second.

[chubluv]

no way to sustain this type of play for 82 games.

Also the talent pool is well diluted with all of the teams the NHL has. There is no way to play at that level. There are to many teams.

[SaviorEdwards]

Great Game, and Im still on track for my prediction.

[Ebenezer]

Also the talent pool is well diluted with all of the teams the NHL has. There is no way to play at that level. There are to many teams.
very good point.

[YardRat]

USA needs a goal here....they can't go 7-8 minutes basically on a man advantage and not come up with a score.

[Dozerdog]

RAFALSKI AGAIN!!!

[Dr. Lecter]

Happy now Yardie?

[YardRat]

Happy now Yardie?

:beers:

Yes, I am :D

[chubluv]

Devil scoring on Devil. Thats a beautiful thing

[Dozerdog]

[chubluv]

That was a great save by Miller.

[Ebenezer]

http://www.mouthpiecesports.com/media/images/articles/Picture_34.png
now that is a beautiful thing...

[chubluv]

Yes sir that is.

[YardRat]

Uh-Oh. Time for Miller to come up big.

[chubluv]

In my best RJ voice "Miller with an enourmous save".

[Dr. Lecter]

Dammit!

[hydro]

Did it have to be Sid? :ill:

[Dozerdog]

Drury into the empty net.... c'mon

[chubluv]

This is a game in which all youth hockey teams should have to watch on video for years to come. Both teams are playing fundamentally sound hockey. Everything from keeping the sticks on the ice to body checking has been great.

[Dozerdog]

This reminds me of the World Junior Championships

:nervous:

[MikeInRoch]

Wow

[chubluv]

I hope Doc Emmerik doesnt have to call the next game he isnt going to have a voice left.

[hydro]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dozerdog]

What an empty netter!

[chubluv]

Now thats what I call Hustle. What a play by Kessler.

[Ebenezer]

SSCCCCCCCCCCCOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE

[Dr. Lecter]

USA!!!!

USA!!!!
USA!!!!

USA!!!!

[hydro]

Boy I wish this was a bunch of amateurs instead of pros :rolleyes:

[LtFinFan66]

Boy I wish this was a bunch of amateurs instead of pros :rolleyes:yep

[chubluv]

3-0 baby!!!!

[The Spaz]

Oh Canada you can lick on USA's taint! 5-3 USA! Go USA!

[chubluv]

Boy I wish this was a bunch of amateurs instead of pros :rolleyes:


Come on team USA is young enough. I know its nothing close to the 1980 squad, but its great to see the young team in white beat the big bad team in red.

[SaviorEdwards]

I believe i predicted this...thank you, thank you :clap:

[chubluv]

Drury & Miller hugging after a game; man I miss those days.

[hydro]

Not sure how you didn't sense the sarcasm. I am all for Pro's playing hockey in the olympics. That game was just awesome and so was the Russia vs Czech game.

[Crisis]

holy **** that is the best game i've seen in a LOOOOONG time

ryan miller being himself and ryan kesler o nthe empty net....HOLY **** WHAT A GAME

[SaviorEdwards]

Anyone else DVR this game? :D

[YardRat]

Awesome effort by Kessler on the empty-netter....Miller getting some nice props in the postgame.

[helmetguy]

Could almost hear RJ on the empty netter..."RrrrrOOOOOOLLLLLL the highlight reel!"

[Dozerdog]

Comcast has the games "On Demand" so I will watch it in HD again later

[The Spaz]

U-S-Eh!

[The King]

suck it habs!

[OpIv37]

Great game by Team USA. They've looked much better in the last two games and passed a HUGE test tonight.

I can't believe Miller sometimes- he absolutely robbed Iginla on a shot he had no business seeing-let alone stopping, then seconds later he lets in a softy.

[Crisis]

miller = BEST IN THE WORLD

lets not waste his prime like we did hasek please

[SaviorEdwards]

Can anyone here make GIFs? I would love one of the 3 Canadians running into eachother.

[SabreEleven]

We are pulling for Sweden to beat Finland so USA gets #1 seed.

[JD]

:rofl: at all the drunken canadian fans during that guys interview.. how embarrassing.

[JD]

Lock Miller for 8 more years.
Lock Myers for 15 years.

[The Spaz]

Where's NBF?

[Ebenezer]

celebrate today...but they better be ready in the medal round.

Kessler was All heart on that move, which is why young talented players are better than old Pro's (granted our young talent are all pro players), H.E.A.R.T., Rusty at first but when they pull together they are unstoppable.

[SabreEleven]

This game shows why the Sabres should get Drury for the playoffs. He just scores big goals in big games...

[SaviorEdwards]

Everytime he scores a goal like that I think of that famous Rick Jeaneret call....'Chris Druuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrry, who else???? who else??????'

[rbochan]

Saw this written elsewhere, but it bears repeating:

That was probably the sexiest empty netter I've ever seen.

[Ebenezer]

just like me dating a supermodel...ain't happening...no room under the cap.

[Dozerdog]

I don't think it's cap space preventing you from dating supermodels, Eb. :rolleyes:

[OpIv37]

I'd take him back in a second. Would he turn the Sabres back into the offensive juggernaut they were 4 years ago? No, but he absolutely would help this team.

[RockStar36]

I wouldn't take him back only because of his enormous salary. The Sabres could make it work under the cap but I just don't feel that he is worth that much money per season.

[SkateZilla]

if i was dating a supermodel, there wouldnt be any room under my "cap" either.. roflmao..

[Ebenezer]

ugliness aside, I don't have the bucks either. :boom:

i tried to go on youtube this morning to see that and the ovechkin hit but the olympics have removed all the videos LMAO

[Ebenezer]

go to nbc's website...everything that people have been trying to put on youtube is there.
