Well that... score was something.

Germany is a strong team. But… yeah.

Austria does it again, rallies from being down 0-2 against Finland and WINS 3-2! In regulation!

With 0.1 seconds on the clock.

USA has looked like they’ve been on a continuous PP the whole game against France so far.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Canada apparently held Norway shotless through 40 minutes.

Very crappy feelings after today's game. We were two goals down, then battled hard to make it 2:2 and then.. THAT happened. 3 goals in less than half minute (!!). For sure, none of those were 100% Merzlikins fault, but as NHL goaltender you have to stop SOMETHING!?

I've never been Elvis fan, due to the antics, but used to have some sort of respect towards him as not any random goalie can make it into NHL. People here are saying he's a different goalie since Kivlenieks death, but even then, Elvis made that situation all about himself. He kept repeating media how Kiv saved him and his wife, he ''took over'' Kiv's jersey number in Latvian national team; it was Kiv's death and he SOMEHOW made it about himself, still. I don't care if this is unpopular opinion, but that's how I see it.

Nečas was a great addition. Just great.

Jake is calling the game game against Britain today again. Guy is fun to listen to. Love this

Referee gets hit by a puck seconds after not calling a tripping call against Great Britain

Voráček: "karma"

Replaces the injured Alex Lyon.

Jakub is a legend, just another confirmation

If USA starts finishing specifically on the PP which they’re doing today they might actually be starting be living up to expectations.

They straight up lost the opening game against Sweden but they’ve heavily outshot everybody else since then including the Slovakia game leading the tournament in shots on goal.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I think Boldy might be a big winner for showing up & arguably being the US’ best player.

I think he may have seriously helped his cause for the 4 Nations Face-Off this upcoming winter.

I mean, all due respect, but it's Kazakhstan [:

I’m aware but they weren’t doing it against Poland or France either who they dominated as well but the score was closer than it would have indicated because their PP hasn’t been scoring.

I just think it's funny a goalie from Lancaster Pa. plays for the Polish team. Wonder if he's Amish.

 

[GKJ]

Austria, needing a win to be in the mix for the quarterfinals and knock out Finland, cannot beat a relegated Great Britain.

I saw a bunch of Amish at Rehoboth Beach this weekend. Long way to travel by horse & buggy!

Ha, I remember playing against this kid when we were younger

Probably mennonites. There were a bunch down in Siesta Key when I was down there in January...they must love their sand

 

[Tripod]

I thought US was going to win it all with that lineup.

 

[kudymen]

I really hope this will be possible to embeed - standing: Voráček. Sitting down: Robert Záruba

RZ: David Kämpf to take the face off. Against him, Shane Pinto.
Voráček: I am going to say it, Robert!
RZ: No. Not yet.
Voráček: Nooo?
RZ: NONONO.
Voráček: Hihi okay.
RZ: This is hockey. This. Is. Hockey.
RZ: But! Kämpf did a wonderful job!
Voráček: CAN I SAY IT NOW
RZ: shaking head NO
Voráček: CAN I SAY IT NOW
RZ: Now Dominik Kubalík, Kämpf follows
Voráček: CAN I SAY IT NOW
RZ: Now Kämpf
Voráček: CAN I SAY IT NOW
Voráček: CAN I SAY IT NOW
Voráček: CAN I SAY IT NOW
Voráček: CAN I SAY IT NOW
RZ: Now you can, Jakub
Voráček: YESSSSSSS
...

Voráček: I got goose bumps. You are used to it, I know, but this is my first time, enjoying it.

Czechs have won in a great fashion and will head into the finals with all the momentum in the world.

 

[kudymen]

In a game that involves Radko Gudas... Erik Karlsson and Victor Hedman are damn dirty rats. Especially Karlsson

Almost had a hattrick with an empty netter. Was offside though

 

[Tripod]

Canada misses on their SH breakaway....Swiss scores right after

Always the way

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

So two most talented teams playing for a bronze? Will they even show up or just cruise through the game already in off-season mode.
