I think they will do better than 5th, in fact I think they may win Bronze but unless everyone is playing at the level some of the lower line guys are they have no chance at beating Canada.

The list has Sweden, Finland, Russia, and Canada ahead of them. So, I assume you think they can pass Sweden and/or Finland? Cause Russia/Canada is the class of the tournament and anyone who gets past either of them has achieved a pretty big upset.

BTW I think the Johnsons have been ok...Suter on the other hand might as well just stay on the bench.

edit Kane scores...game over.

I think we're on par with the Finns and the Czechs, but going down the rosters I'd take the Swedes over us if someone had a gun to my head. They looked kind of lackluster against ze Germans, but we didn't exactly blow Switzerlands doors off either.

They've allowed 3 sog to Norway, they can't be playing too horribly, can they?*

*I don't have access to watch it at work, so am just following the PBP on NBC.com.

Orpik is awful. Completely blew that 2 on 1 situation, basically made it 2 on 0.

Between him and Jack Johnson: ugh!

What a dirty hit the Norway thugs got away with...smart by Rafalski to just go over there and give him the stink eye.

Too bad they don't let fighting, Rafalski would have fought him.

Norway is terrible...basically Team USA just holds the puck 3/4 of the period not allowing Norway to do anything.

The D is not as bad as some are making you believe though ;)

Is it bad that I understood everything they just said? Love the Ox Baker reference!
