Overall it was a very disappointing tournament and it's crazy how the trainer thinks it's a good decision to exchange the keeper midgame? WTF? this is like saying, yep you are the one responsible that we are behind 1:3, and it's definetely not that way the defence was sleeping during every goal that finland shot, i don't want to be him today. a very very sad perfomance, i am not even mad, this is just disappointing. ovechkin the climax of disappointment of the whole team. He did it as an attempt to 'jumpstart' the team. Not to mention 2 of those goals were definitely stoppable. ...and I hope our suckers won't embarrass us(and Jagr). If the USA lamers skate like they did in their previous games, it might be a disaster. | ||

If Malkin had to tell the coach it was time to do it, then its really bad. | ||

Didn't Bobrovsky start most games prior to this? yup, the us game and the slovakia game, and he looked good in both against better competition. not to mention he's the better keeper then again, this is the same russian squad that made a bunch of shitty khl selections, had to have a player yell at the coach to pull the goalie when down by 2, and allowed his team to continually run into a wall at the blueline | ||

he answered every question to his best ability. so let's ease up on the Ovechkin bashing. at least he had the balls to come out an answer questions. remember big tough Eric Lindros... he ran and hid from the cameras. ran and hid. fortunately, Lindros is paying for being a coward.

They want to play a high octane offensive game while its so much easier to sit back and play a defensive style, especially considering the caliber of the players involved. | ||
