devilsrule33 Posted January 3, 2004 Author Share Posted January 3, 2004 Russia is out. This is great for Canada. Russia has eliminated Canada almost every year since their gold medal streak ended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas0nMacIsaac Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 I said weeks before the tourni that the russians would do poorly, their forwards are way too young and their defense stinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheeps Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Still 1-0. What a game this is. This is something special to watch. Just went 2-0 on a Fritsche breakaway. From Moore and Booth (sic?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyk Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Crap, shutout spoiled. Seemed pretty likely after that late penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devilsrule33 Posted January 3, 2004 Author Share Posted January 3, 2004 I was dissapointed when USA scored to make it 2-0. I was hoping the game would go into OT or possibly a shootout but can't always get what you want. USA vs Canada. Should be a good matchup.

Jas0nMacIsaac Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 This Final doesn't look too good for USA. Finland was hitting the lights out on the USA and they arn't even a fraction the size to the big, hard htting Canadians. USA are a small team and will have to pick their spots and use their speed if they are to have any chance. Parise didn't play all that well today, an ok pass on the shorthanded goal. OSuillivan should be benched for a portion of the game vs Canada for taking a dumb as penalty like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aylbert Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 I didnt want to damper the Parise comments, and wasnt going to bring it up in the arguement of whether he should be in the Devils lineup sooner rather than later... but Parise was rather unimpressive past the SH assist. I know its one game, but he had problems when it got physical, and made a couple of bad passes that could of been deadly to USA.... Overall, he sounds great and looks like he has good upside... but I wouldnt feel comortable with the Parise I saw play today, playing on the Devs squad... <Meaning more time in college, Albany> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can't accurately judge someone's play until you've seen them play at least 5 or 6 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas0nMacIsaac Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 He didn't shy from the physical stuff, He went right into it and took at least 3 big hits for the team. The problem is that he was playing on th PK for most of the game and only got a bit of PP time. I told you most of his points came on the PP.

shrubbery Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Anyone see this interesting quote on ESPN? Last year, the Canadians defeated the Americans, 3-2, in the semifinals. In tournament history, Canada is 21-4-3 against the USA. The Americans haven't beaten the Canadians since Dec. 31, 1998. Led by Scott Gomez and Brian Gionta, the U.S. shocked Canada, 5-2, in Winnipeg. Goalie Roberto Luongo suffered the loss for Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
