even though we lost I think this was a good game for the US.

We scored four times, and even though it was against their backup goalie, I think this will boost our confidence a little bit going into the next round. Our whole MO up to this point was that compared to the Europeans and Canada, the US team doesn't have great shooters.

and also that we're slow, but we make up for that by hitting the hardest. (with the exception of maybe Canada)

yeah, well the best are always the envy of the world aren't they? Kinda like Brazil in football.

Anyway, Canada vs. Russia tomorrow. It's too early for a game of that calibre but I'm not confident. There were several errors in picking this team in my opinion. The D-men are too big and slow for Olympic ice and they're not adjusting quick enough. Plus, fast skaters like Paul Kariya and Eric Stahl should be on this team, as well as Shanahan, who isn't quite as quick, but would be helping Sakic out in the leadership department. Ah well...it's Gretzky's team. If we lose, he'll be hearing about it. But we still have the best goalie in the world, Mr. Martin Brodeur. The guy is money.

Good luck to all countries tomorrow.

I've got like 7 games all day long and I'll go crazy today. But sure, I'm really looking forward to the games and I hope for some entertaining and good encounters.

Slovakia vs. Czech's will be a very intensive game which may be one of the best even though Czech Republic hasn't played their best hockey.

I've got a funnier feeling about Sweden losing to Switzerland than Finland to USA. Finland looks far stronger than many other teams, as long as their playing their own game they'll probably win, I guess.

Canada vs. Russia is going to be a very good game. I like both teams very much, but I'll be rooting for Russia who can play very good icehockey from time to time.

Tonight's games should be interesting.. i'm expecting Russia to beat Canada as overall they have had a much better tournament so far than Canada with its 2 games with 0 goals even. Finland and USA.. hard to say which one will win, we'll see. If our guys play anywhere as well as they have, i'm betting on them. Slovakia and Czechs might be a very intensive game indeed. Sweden has been a bit yes-no during the tournament, playing great games and awful games. But Switzerland should be rather easily beatable. Somewhere there i'm gonna take a little peek at curling too.

Without Khabibulin Russia will have a hard time winning today.Canada has sucked it up in the prelims, but they also did in Salt Lake City.
When its do or die things are very different and there is alot of international experience on the Canadian team.

The US has played better than the results have indicated, but they are in a rebuilding stage and will be contenders in 4 years, but not this year.Finland should take it if they get good work between the pipes.The US will never win anything with Esche or Dipietro.

I really have lost all of my respect for the Swedish team for their basically losing purposely to Slovakia to play the Swiss.Competition is not about this, and although it was smart i really hope it bites them in the ass.The Swiss have played well due to the fact that they have competed as a team more than any of the other countries this year.The swedes will win,but if Gerber stands on his head you never know.

Slovaks and Czechs...very interesting game.I think the Czechs are better on paper but the Slovaks have alot of firepower.I'm going Czechs because of their goaltending.Vokoun can be one of the worlds top goalies when he is in top form.

all in all today is about getting drunk and watching hockey!yessssssssssssssssssssss

Sweden won 6-2 against Switzerland and played alot better today than any match in the tournament. We were also very disciplined and got only one penalty on the whole game. Fucking great.

HEJA SVERIGE!!!!!!!!!
