World Cup of Hockey is here.

[Greenbacks]

let's see what the kids do Vs Czech. Russia was 1-1 vs them, scoring 4 goals in the first game and only 1 goal in the second.

is Team Europe all that bad (old and slow) or is the speed and skill of this Team North America THAT good ? (enough so to embarrass NHL caliber veterans!! )


anybody have a link to the game? stuck at work...

Czechs strike first. Czechs have done better than I thought they would so far against Russia.

Neuvirth in net for Czech... When he's on his game , good luck scoring on him lol.. I hope the flyers hang onto him

 

[RenoChazz]

It's a three way line I'm guessing.



As for tomorrows games I'll be taking both dogs with the points. +1.5 on Europe and +1 on Russia.

And all the dogs covered the spread today.

IMO Czech Republic looked like the best team of the preliminary round.

from what i saw , a whhhhhhhhhhhhhhho00000000le different animal the kids had to play today.... Live by the sword, die by the sword. If you're going to play nutty aggressive, a good team will take advantage. Czech could have had 5-6 today. But fuck it, continue to play that way Team N America-- you have NO choice, play to your strength. The less time in your own end the better. The number of missed assignments by their forwards in the defensive zone was stunning; shinny hockey

when it starts to matter, can they win the tight 2-1/ 3-2 game?....not convinced they can. If i'm playing agasint them, my goal would be to pressure the hell out of that defense. ....... .........can't wait to see them Vs Russia, lol.............


nice goal by Ovie....but ya lost.....

When teammates face off.

Canada has the top 3 faceoff men in this tournament. YET, Bergeron Vs Malkin and low and behold Malkin wins it clean, quick pass to Ovie and BAM!! a fuckin' bullet............what a shot!!!!!!
