Great game so far. Penalties costing the Czechs.

 

 

How good a skater is Erik Karlsson. Incredible to watch.

 

 

Also Ekman-Larsson has been immense.

 

Karlsson is the total offensive package. The defensive game needs to improve but his shot, his speed, the way he thinks the game...once in a generation talent.

Definitely getting up early to watch the US vs Slovakia game.  Can't wait.  Sucks the US women lost to Canada.

What was the deal with that second Canadian goal?  The whistle clearly blows when the puck is still a few inches from the goal line, and if they use the "intent to blow" rule in international play, then that was even earlier.  Sounds like a referee who allowed herself to get caught up in the moment.  Whichever American player it was that put that puck in while trying to push it to her goaltender must be feeling sick.

may have been tricky but at the end of the day it was the right call. The whistle went a little before the puck cross but the goalie never had possession so it would have been a bad call the play dead too. Like TG said, that play clearly should have been a goal and the refs made it count.

I didn't watch the game.  But I definitely heard about the shoddy reffing though.

I'm sick and tired of the Canadian women beating our women. Our girls better sack up for that gold medal game and return the damn favor. We owe them one or two or three.

 

We've got Kessel and Bozek on our team I guess we caught the Maple Leafs disease :(
