Did they take away Carters hat trick?


edit: NM I get it, first hat trick by a US player since 2002.

Yeah USA trick.

Hope Meszaros foot is OK. Raffl doing his damn thing. Didn't see the play but Bill's description paints the picture of what we've seen from Michael Raffl all season long. Hustle, speed and hard work.

Flyers getting Karma for what they did with Ryan Parent!


What a waste of a great prospect

Only ten more days until the Flyers play again...(frank)ing Olympics

Holy wow.

Semi vs. SUI? I'll take it...
Or "the Nagano" order...

Looks like the US has an excellent chance to snag a medal

Looking forward to Czech vs Slovakia, should be a nice grudge match!

Holy wow.

Thanks Bill, was wondering how the matchups would look after group play. Wasn't sure how the breakdown worked for the quarterfinals matchups.

Have to say though, I have enjoyed the Olympic hockey much more than I thought I would. All of these games packed into 1-2 weeks is helping me get by.

I hope the fire is burning within Claude Giroux..

Slovakia has struggled a bit. I will take them over team Jagr/Voracek in the quarterfinals.

Well, that escalated quickly...

The Swiss have been playing hard. Not a team to fall asleep against.

That being said, should be a US/CA matchup after the semis. That should be fun if all goes according to plan

Provided Russia doesn't implode against Norway, do they beat Finland? They haven't exactly been an offensive juggernaut and the Finns are playing good defense.

Mez had a stellar game saving block in overtime.

Agreed.

Jesus. I'm thinking it was a knee by the Phantoms? It looked like the hit was a bit off-center, but they panned away.
Edit: Box score indicates a high stick.

Also, good on Clarkie (well, okay, McGinn) for giving him the business. How those 2 players got loose to jump him is beyond me.

Was he the one who blocked a shot on basically a wide open net?

Also, loving how everyone's involved, but Gervais is just holding on for dear life and praying to God no one starts to throw at him.
