NICE

Team USA wins a big one 5-3.............Ryan Miller stood TALL, especially with the save on Iginla. Looks like Crosby, Richards, Nash was not a great line.....at least for tonite......Crosby was -3, but still had some moments where he looked very dangerous, and finally scored a goal to make the game close late. Well, he also scored for the US to start the game too...........the stunned silence of the Canadian crowd was a beautiful thing to behold, and now the US Team has a bye in the first match of the Medal round. They are 3 wins from gold............the speed of Team USA was evident, and after a rocky first period played a great final forty minutes. Brodeur looked a little weak as well, and I would expect to see Luongo play the next game for Team Canada.

In the Russian game, the Ovechkin, Malkin, Semin line looked very explosive. Malkin had two goals and an assist, you know kind of like last year for the Pens........one of the prettiest plays I have seen in awhile was the one where Geico levelled Jagr creating a turnover to Semin who flew down the left wing while spotting Malkin all the way across the ice before putting a backhanded pass on Malkins tape, which he effortlessly buried...............was a great hockey play, and a beauty to behold. Two very interesting and entertaining games to watch today.............This tournament is getting very interesting. USA USA USA USA USA USA USA!!!!!!!!!
