Re: IIHF World Championships
Conklin picks up where he left off in the shootout, giving up four in a period and a half. And we're back to Montoysieve. US down 4-2 to Canada's JV.
With a decent backstop, this team might have had a shot at a medal. But maybe Ryan Miller was just too tired.
Miele is having a great tournament. Wonder why he didn't play the first three games.

Re: IIHF World Championships
Maybe the Russians should've told Ovie to stay home. He has the MINUS touch.

Terrible shootout, though.

US up 1-0 on Canada, live on Versus.
Going much better without Montoysieve.

Actually, I don't mind that aspect of it. It lets some of the other nations develop while most of the "Big Six" players are still in the NHL. Countries like Switzerland and Germany have put together pretty good teams the past few years using mostly players from their national leagues, which helps grow the sport.

I get the idea behind using it as a development tournament, but it's painful watching a bunch of scrubs in USA sweaters three years in a row, even if it does help at the Olympics.
Actually the World Championships is a joke. It's a tournament completely slanted towards the Euro members of the IIHF as evidenced by the fact it takes place at the end of the Euro season but not the Stanley Cu Playoffs. And the fact that it's played every year.

Re: IIHF World Championships
Craig Smith with another PP tally. Norwegian killers were out there for 1:25 before the goal. 4-2 Final. Haugen for Norway saves 45 of 49. Montoya stops 13 of 15.
USA-Sweden at 1:15 PM (Central) Wednesday. Take a late lunch. Buy Ryan Miller a ticket to Slovakia.Last edited by AFHockeyFan; 05-02-2011, 01:05 PM.

Re: IIHF World Championships
We should start a meme where we replace Chuck Norris with Tore Vikingstaad.

Finally Palmieri on the PP and it's 3-2. Third-straight zero-angle goal. Shows why I'm not coaching hockey.

Tore Vikingstad has an awesome name that has led people in North America to believe he is a legendary nordic figure
