It showed with Chara playing each D spot & the 1 - 4 they sat in the entire period.

Yup, it seemed like Chara was on the ice the entire period

Stasny!

The Slovaks must really love giving up a goal to a Czech!

Win or lose, I have to wonder if Miller gets the next start
- BiggE

I expect it, frankly. You gotta give him a look. It'd be stupid to just roll with one of Quick or Miller for the whole tourney.

I think, when it's crunch time, we see Miller in there.

I love these plays where they drive the net snd one guy h angs back in the slot

Like that?

Only 6:40 of ice time.

Not much

A team like Slovakia has top end talent, but they lack the depth to really compete against the top teams.

They had a generation of great forwards that aged out... Palffy, Demitra, Bondra, Satan, Stumpel... now it's a transitional group of kids.

The Wild and Crazy Slovenians

After Slovakia scored I went down and grabbed a bowl of cereal, come back up and it's 3-1 who scored?

Only 6:40 of ice time.

Those guys were very good, but I wouldn't call them great; at least not when comparing them to Sakic, Jagr, Yzerman, Federov, Forsberg etc..

Really Doc? Never stopped you before.

Speaking relatively of course

How the hell did that end up in the net?!

I think that was JVR's goal. What an effort eithe way.

Nearly halfway thru the game:
Russia 2. Slovenia 1

Slovenia doing much better than I thought they would

Better question is who put it into the net?

Backes may have actually gotten that

That was a bigger cluster(frank) than that Grossmann goal

I agree

Russians stopped playing after going up 2... they look like the Flyers now, standing still and finessing out of jams.

I agree

One of those days, eh?

Is that televised? Or do we have to stream that?

Wouldn't it just be (frank)in sweet if Slovenia comes back and takes that game??
