    With a likely loss to Canada and then a probable crossover game with the #2 seed in the elimination round, USA's chances of medalling are almost certainly gone.

    No shame in losing to Russia at home, but the way the brackets were set up, the US needed to steal this game at all costs.

      But of course you predicted the steamroller through the two medal round games...

        Firewagon hockey.

        Good fun to watch, especially with no rooting interest.

          Too bad Skjei wasn't there to save the day...

            For Housley the only thing smarter than benching Rocco was skipping out on playing for the Gophers. Benching Lucia's kid was an excellent move as well.

              I didn't turn this thread towards a WCHA p-i-s-sing match, but since we're there for the moment...

              How is it that there are only two Minnesota born players on this squad?

              Dubbs! How is this possible!?!


              P.S. There are also two from Wisconsin, even if one of them was born to a Russian living in Milwaukee.

                Reminder to self: Even when talking about USA hockey, keep the Goofers and the Susies in opposite corners.

                  We have a game, folks. The Rooskies and the Swedes are likely to give the crowd some free hockey.

                      Looks like a skills competition is needed to find out our opponent.

                        Shootout up next. As always, what a dumb way to settle a game like this.


                        Think I'd rather play Sweden. Russia + the home crowd could be tough.

                          Sweden gets the win and will face the USA. The Rooskies and the Canucks play for the bronze.

                            This defeatist thing is working. The Swedes will easily defeat the US in the Gold Medal game.

                              Glad to hear it. It wouldn't have seemed right for Russia to need two shootout wins to get to the Gold Medal game and have a huge home ice advantage.

                                Hopefully the Gold Medal Game has two Canadian refs. With European refs it's likely 107 penalties will be called.
