Steve9347 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Sweden looks like a powerhouse against Latvia, the team USA tied. Tomorrow's game (Sunday) should be good. I hope DiPietro plays, and I hope he stands on his head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 We need to worry about a good Slovakia team first Entertaining first period. Glad Dipietro's in net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 That was a hell of a game, but very disappointing. We still have the toughest 2 opponents to go, assuming Russia plays up to the level they are capable of playing. Ugh, just disappointed right now.

CWSGuy406 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I really love watching the Fins play. Sorry to bring out a cliche here, but they really play some solid hockey. Just wish Tuomo was playing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasywheels121 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Wow, that goalie. Did I hear it right, that the Americans still have a solid shot at moving to the quarterfinals if this score does not change? I understand a win or a tie guarantees it.

IlliniKrush Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 Yup Lundqvist is a stud. Now we have to hope Finland beats Canada. Because i don't want to open against Canada in the quarterfinals. And yeah we'll make the quarterfinals even if we lost and Latvia wins on Tuesday due to goal differential. Hooray for that... Ugh, this is frustrating and disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 It was a good game all around for the most part. Even though Sweden out played the US and the saddest part was Sweden didn't even have to use Peter "The Great" to help them win.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Canada officially in deep s***, down 2-0 to the Fins with only about 5:30 left in the 3rd period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 What's the point of this 1st round of games? The U.S. and Canada both have 2 losses, and might end with 3 in 5 games, and are still moving on? Lameness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlliniKrush Posted February 20, 2006 Author Share Posted February 20, 2006 And, in my opinion, to get used to the time change and playing as a 'team'...or at least learning to play with the players on your team. Most of these guys had one practice before the games started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFanForever Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 So we get Russia on Tuesday? Let's hope Kovalchuk doesn't go nuts and have another 4 goal game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxrd5 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 If we have to play the Fins if the first round we pretty much have zero chance. They are much more skiled offensively than the American team. The Canadians have a ton of talent but my issue with that club is they seem to lack any real speed. Lots of big defenders and centers but no real speed to threaten a team on breakaways. I think that may be their demise. Finland made the Canadians look slow on the Ice yesterday.
