Thanks.

Looks like the U.S. is up 6-2 going into the 3rd. Here's the line-up:


Goalies:

Zatkoff
Frazee

Defensemen:

E. Johnson/Chorney
Lawson/J. Johnson
Zimmerman/Lee
McBain

Forwards:

Kane-Mueller-Gerbe
Okposo-Lewis-Stoa
vanRiemsdyk-Abdelkader-Skille
Sweatt-Carman-Geoffrion
Fraser

Ah,they have split the Johnsons up.Probably on together for PP's.

Wise i think.

Pavelec was pulled at 29:51, after allowing four. Zatkoff is in net for the U.S.

It's now 6-3. Here's the scoring so far:
Czech--Cerny (Rakos, Kveton)
USA--Gerbe (Kane)
USA--Carman (Chorney)
Czech--Sobotka (Kana, Vojta) 5-on-3 PP
USA--Van Riemsdyk (E.Johnson, Kane) 5-on-3 PP
USA--J.Johnson (Mueller, Okposo) 5-on-4 PP
USA--Gerbe (Kane, Mueller)
USA--Lewis (Okposo, Stoa)
Czech--Frolik (Voracek, Barton)

Looks like a solid effort for an opener. Hat trick for Gerbe and four assists from Kane.

Gerbe....................there you go!!!

like hell he should'nt be there.

Nice to see JVR and Kane getting PP time.

I think JVR's going to get significant minutes in this tourney. Kane's going to make Pierre McGuire pee his pants.

Does anybody know how Frolik looked?

JVR is only going to increase his draft status with this tourney. I think you can possibly see him, Kane, and Gagner going 1-2-3 in some order or another.

Correction,the next Zach Parise is going to make Maguire pee his pants.

Does anybody know how Frolik looked?

He scored the final Czech goal in the third period.

was the final 6-4?

was the final 6-4?


6-3. Looks like Zatkoff had a good game.

Yeah, but whatever you do, just don't jump the gun...oop...too late :sarcasm:

Did the US seem like the better team overall? -- looks like Pavalec might have let in a few softies for the Czechs.

Good to see Zatkoff in net for the US; I don't have too much confidence in Frazee.

EJ and Kana on the scoreboard.. I like it :yo:

Chorney gets an assist. That makes me happy :)

Did anyone actually get to watch the game?

Looks like Hanzal was very active. Plenty of penalty trouble for the U.S. (as usual).

Gerbe....................there you go!!!

like hell he should'nt be there.

Relax, the tourney hasn't even started yet. I based my opinion off of his lack of performance last year. He sucked and that's undenieable. I am hoping he plays well. I'm not a hater, just disappointed that he didn't step up last year.

I know you're not a hater.I'm sure you want to see the guy do well because if he does well it can only mean good things for the team you root for.

But you said he sucked last year(and it's not undeniable because i denied it) and i saw a completely different player from the guy you saw and said so.You were skeptical and i was'nt and today he goes out and gets a hat-trick,exhibition or not............it's a plus!!!

I can't help but say something.

And i'm still relaxed!!

I don't think you'll blame me.

If there is room on the Nate Gerbe band-wagon then I'll jump aboard. Smaller players with skill, effort, and a big heart have always been dear to my heart which is probably why I was more disappointed with his, my perceived, lack of impact in last years tourney. I probably watched him closer than most because he played on TJ Oshie's line and I was rooting for them to put up big points, but it just didn't work out. Off to a good start anyhow.

Well,let's keep track this tourney.We should be able to check things out as long as we both get the games( I do for sure!!!.......hope you can pick em up too!!

Go Stoa!! And Carman

How did Trevor Lewis look? Did anyone actually see the game?
