Canada 2 - USA 1 (World Cup Hockey)
Great first period by Canada. I was worried that Esche was gonna pull a Richter, and I guess he did (18 saves in the first?)
I wanna see the Lemieux - St. Louis - Richards line return. I think that Lemieux with Sakic and Iginla is one of those super-superstar lines that doesn't work out as well as it looks on paper. |

the Sakic, Iginla, Lemieux line played awesome they had about 12 chances tonight. I'm happy with how they played and the lines.

I only watched a bit of the game... Esche's glove save on Heatley in the second period was beautiful

Why did they wear yellow jerseys?

The first year Hockey was in the olympics the "Winnipeg Falcons" wore Gold jerseys like that so they're just vintage throw-backs. The states didn't play good last night, the game easily could have ended 5-0 if it wassn't for Esche. I dunno though, the states doesn't have a great team on paper this year I also think canada could have taken 5 players that would be better on their team

Who is Esche anyways? When I saw him in net I figured USA was gonna get romped but then he ended up making a ton of good saves. So how does this thing work? Is it like pool play or what?

We like to be referred to as the 'USA" not the "states" Thanks.
And The Czechs are 0-2 I remember when they won in 98 Olympics. |

We're playing too good, I'm a little worried we could get a little to cocky and drop a game in the Semis or something.
Yellow jerseys were nice in the sense that they were a shout out to the Winnipeg team, but damn, those were ugly. I liked the big ass leaf, but yellow? Good to see them back in red and white tonight. Looking forward to US-Russia tomorrow, see where those teams stack up with each other. |

Zednik had food poisoning damnit. He would have had a good cheer in Montreal had he played and even scored.
Yeah Canada romped the slovaks. Russia is next up and they dont have a regular nhl goalie playing this time, so they'll be beat too. I see the swedes beating the finns next, the czechs may bounce back. So far Jagr doesnt look too interested. He needs to play like he once did. |

CCCP 3 - USA 1

Kimmo Timonen, Teemu Selanne and Jere Lehtinen scored for Finland, which shut out the Czech Republic 4-0 in their opener Monday night in Helsinki.
Selanne, who got an assist on the first goal, notched his first at 11:27 in the second, one-timed a slapshot from the left circle while the Finns had a two-man advantage for 28 seconds. Selanne |

I'm watching the USA vs. Slovakia game right now and St. Paul is clearly the best city I've seen. This is the first time I've seen the fans really into the game.

Those yellow jerseys are great. I loved them. All of Canada's jerseys are great. I liked Team USA's against the Russians too. Simple, effective.

I don't know what you're talking about? I think we're on a different topic.

Didnt like the yellow jerseys at all.
Red white and black suits them a lot more. |
