Would be great to see it. USA-Russia games are alsways very entertaining. That 2005 semifinal has to be the best WJC game I've ever seen.

didn't russia win that by like 4?

by 5

7-2 :D

awesome game. a lot of taunting and provocation by the Russians. priceless

The best part of that game was when TJ Oshie crushed that guy towards the end of the game. Classic Oshie.

by 5

7-2 :D

awesome game. a lot of taunting and provocation by the Russians. priceless

How did that taunting and provocation thing work out for Russia in the gold medal game 2005?

I'm crying already

ehhh...hello guys

where to watch the game?...forget the past

ehhh...hello guys

where to watch the game?...forget the past

I know it's nowhere to be found here in the States...

First off, does anyone know if TSN is going to broadcast this game? Canada vs Sweden is at the same time, and I know TSN is all about showing that game.

First off, does anyone know if TSN is going to broadcast this game? Canada vs Sweden is at the same time, and I know TSN is all about showing that game.

But is the TSN link going to work: it isn't right now for the Slovakia - Czech Republic game...

it isn't right now for the Slovakia - Czech Republic game...

yep dont work , what a BS :help:

First off, does anyone know if TSN is going to broadcast this game? Canada vs Sweden is at the same time, and I know TSN is all about showing that game.

TSN will show Canada-Sweden.
TSN Broadband will show Canada-Sweden.

Watch LIVE on TSN.ca as Canada takes on Sweden, today at 1:30pm et/10:30am pt, followed by extended post-game coverage only on TSN.ca.

yeah TSN was showing CZE vs SVK this morning and then CAN vs SWE this afternoon, too bad tho i'd really much rather watch this game, it should be a doosie.

any Russian feeds out there?

yep dont work , what a BS :help:

Surely Russia has a national sports broadcaster, don't they?

Instead of jumping all over TSN for carrying it's nations games, look to your own country as to why you can't watch a tournament from a virtual neighbour of yours.

Start the russian version of TSN ffs - do something positive instead of *****ing and whining...

I would like to see a bit of this game as well, too bad.

Perhaps there are other things to due in Russia besides obsess over a bunch of teenage hockey players. Apparently, there is nothing else to do in Canada.

i hate you too........

...Get a local feed, and if there ain't, well, watch something else...?
You should be thankful to have any feeds, if there aren't any local one.

Well its on NTV+ in Russia but a lot of good that doing to us here in the states.

OOh, this should be cool!

It is a sad state of affairs here in the states when a Russia-USA hockey game is not being televised.

...Indeed.

I predict 6-5 USA wins it, they have a great team this year... and only second to Canada

It is a sad state of affairs here in the states when a Russia-USA hockey game is not being televised.

Why it's Junior hockey? Let's face it hockey isn't hockey isn't that popular to begin with and this isn't top level hockey. A junior age internationall basketball or baseball tournament would probably get the same level of coverage. Plus the in this case the Cold War is long over. The US and Russia aren't really big rivals anymore (the big rivalry for the US is obviously with Canada). This is a biggest game so far as far as the Tournament goes but outside of that it means basically nothing.

You would think USA hockey would at least have a way to follow it online? Junior hockey is important for the same reason college football is important; you get to see tomorrow's stars today. There are millions of hockey fans in the us and trust me the majority of people would rather watch USA vs Russia then Usa vs Canada. This game is still important to people especially because of the politics in the world today.

The only way to follow the game online so far is:

1st off people watch college football mostly because of the popularity of the sport and because of ties to a school. While seeing future NFL stars are a part of it it's a small reason why people watch college football. Similarly it is the same reason why the NCAA Hockey Tournament gets more coverage in the States then the World Juniors even though the World Juniors is better hockey. AS far as coverage from Usa Hockey remember it is expensive to send a crew over to cover the tournament and why it is worth it for TSN to send one over because it is a big ratings getter in Canada it isn't in the US. Thus unfortunatly US fans are reliant on the TSN coverage and when Canada plays at a different venue we are left with none. Let's face it this year with the NHL Network picking up the TSN feed for the medal round the tournament is getting one of the best coverage it has gotten in the States. Before unless you shelled out money for Center Ice you couldn't see any of the games on TV.

Well the audio from usahockey.com is awful

Yes it is awful.

and now its gone, maybe there fixing it

Well the audio from usahockey.com is awful

And it's gone now.

It's back and a bit better.

US to the Power Play

EDIT: Another Russian penalty a long 5 on 3 coming up

It's working for me but it is terrible. :rant:

5 on 3 for the US

audio is a bit better

5 on 3 for the US

The audio feed off USA hockey blows for me. Is any1 else having trouble hearing it.

haha yea it does

Russian play-by-play for those who speak Russian... it's updated faster than the Czech version:

http://online.fhr.ru/online.php?online=1071&time=30

Delay of game on the Russian goaltender. Short 5 on 3 again for the US. They better take advantage of this.

Sounds like good chances for the US but nothing to show for it

Wow that USA feed was bad yesterday, but this is brutal today.

Russia kills off all the Power Plays.

4 on 4 coincidental minors for roughing.

God this pisses me off so much that we can't watch this!

Keep the updatescoming guys. 2008 and we can't watch hockey games overseas!

i cant even get the feed to work.

4-3 PP for usa going to be a 5 on 4 shortly

edit: 5 on 3 now for USA

Keep the updatescoming guys. 2008 and we can't watch hockey games overseas!

i'm watching Sweden-Canada..

but i would much rather be watching this one!!!

US going back on a long 5 on 3.

Another US powerplay

Six penalties on Russia already! Has USA bribed the refs?

Let's go USA gotta pot one here. Must take advantage of these PP's.

1-0 Usa

Goal US, Finally. Couldn't hear who got it.

1-0 Usa

who scored, all i heard was score, no names lol

1-0 Usa

Yeah! who scored?

Rakshani on the rebound, 5 on 4 still

1-0, that's a logical conclusion

I'd guess US team is way too fast for Russia, hence all these penalties.

Rakshani on the rebound, 5 on 4 still

Yeah, Rhett!:yo:

Team USA scores! TYLER RUEGSEGGER has scored for the United States. As they worked the power play, Jordan Schroeder ripped a shot from the point and the rebound came right to Ruegsegger on the back door and he slammed it in. Assists: Schroeder, Okposo

0 - 1 PP2 USA 15. RUEGSEGGER, Tyler Game Winning Goal
(9. OKPOSO, Kyle)

That's the goal.

Tyler Ruegsegger scored for Team USA!!!!!!!! :handclap:

Rakshani on the rebound, 5 on 4 still

According to IIHF it's

11.31 0 - 1 PP2 USA 15. RUEGSEGGER, Tyler (9. OKPOSO, Kyle) (29. SCHROEDER, Jordan)

back to 5 on 5, Russia has had zero offense so far

According to IIHF it's

11.31 0 - 1 PP2 USA 15. RUEGSEGGER, Tyler (9. OKPOSO, Kyle) (29. SCHROEDER, Jordan)

Who knows, no one can actually see the game. :(

Victory

Ruegs or Rak? DU is having a good showing...keep it up boys :handclap:

First opportunity I've had to listen to these USA Hockey broadcasts...crappy AM stations have better quality :help:

Power Play Russia

Cole for Roughing.

End of the First 1-0 US. Russia will begin the second with about a minute of Power Play time.

Tough period for Russia with 12 minutes of PK time. Cherepanov looks like a difference maker for Russia ... at least USA had some troubles containing him.

The Russians started playing with about 3:30 left in the period. Before that it was all USA.

The game is not too bad after the first period.

The Russian netminder Boborovsky has come up with some big saves during the string of US-power plays in the first part of the game.
After being forced into defense, Russia was able to take its skating game on the ice which had the Americans pushed back for most part of the last 7 minutes.

This Russian team is not afraid to play physical, at times they even outmuscle the USA. In their enthusiasm though they fly in too wild at times, resulting in some penalty calls. Some of the calls against the Russians were dubious. Then again with the 2-ref system and international style of refereeing after 60 mins the balance will be even amongst both teams.

To round of, Finally the beautiful arena in Liberec is packed after having seen a number of games with only a couple of hundred people wtching. Mostly Russian fans inside, not too many cheers for the Americans.

nice, cant wait to see him in NA with the rangers!!!

Shots were 18-7 in favor of the US in the first.

Marchand just dusted Motin for a 1-0 Canada lead... Sweden was really taking it to the Canadians prior to it.

Hopefully all the missed pp opportunities don't come back to kill USA

I think the "errr, ok" was more in reference to your "Sweden taking it to Canada". You're definately not watching the game if you think that.

BTW. go USA! :handclap:

Period 2 underway

sorry if this has already been asked but does anyone have a internet link where i can watch the USA vs Russia game on my computer?? Thanks, help is much appreciated

I think the "errr, ok" was more in reference to your "Sweden taking it to Canada". You're definately not watching the game if you think that.

BTW. go USA! :handclap:
I didn't mean for the majority of the period... as I said, prior to Marchand's break down ice, they had their heads turning a lot in the zone on back to back shifts. Canada played a great period for most of it though... I have a feeling if Sweden doesn't find the net, Canada will run away with it.

Damn bwin, I ended up placing a bet with all those stats changing on the screen! lol

from what i was reading in that page, it sounded like an even period....possibly going swedens way even though canada scored in the final minutes....sweden is playing very physical and the refs are good and letting them play

Russian PP

Penalty US.

Americans kill the penalty

The USA just seem to be better than Russia.

Schroeder misses open net

Huge rebound by Smith just in front of the net so Cherepanov couldn't miss open net.

haha Ranger fans rejoice

I have no idea how I feel about this goal lol

Smith with what seems like a good save.

NICE!!!!! CANT WAIT FOR HIM TO PLAY FOR THE RANGERS!!!! AND ANISIMOV GETTING AN ASSIST....looks like filitov is a soon to be ranger lol

I have no idea how I feel about this goal lol

haha Cherepanov and Anisimov can score all they want aslong as US wins

Russia's headlocks are better this year!:biglaugh:

Power Play Russia.

Carmen for hooking.

Apparently the refs is getting in the way.

Russia on the PP

Period ends. 1-1 after 2.

I find this game a little boring

Russia spent almost the whole period in USA's zone but only scored 1 early in the period. They can't seem to capitalize on the PP at all.

You're insane.

Team USA scores! James vanRiemsdyk, the tournament's leading scorer, just added a strange goal for the US. He went to deke the goal but lost the puck and it ended up going through Bobrovsky's legs. Assist: Rakhshani.

Seems like an awful lot of penalties this game. Is it the refs or the players fault? I know Carman is famous for his streaks of indiscipline.

USA WINS!!!

Gooo USA!!!!

Usa wins 3-2 and get the Bye to the Semi's.

Yup..

Usa wins 3-2 and get the Bye to the Semi's.

That bye is *HUGE*, too. So glad our boys got it this year.

That bye is *HUGE*, too. So glad our boys got it this year.

The schedule worked out well where they got Kazakastan and the Swiss the first two games then Russia. They can rest players (namely Smith) against the Fins.

woooooooooooooooooooooo

USA, USA, USA!!! Go Sweden!

The USA earned a semifinal against Canada. GOOD!

The USA earned a semifinal against Canada. GOOD!

I believe Canada can still earn a bye if the Czechs beat Sweden, Canada beats Denmark and wins the goal differential tie breaker for a 3 way tie.

Is first place wrapped up for sure? What happens if the US loses to Finland?

When does the NHL Network start showing the medal round games on TV? Also, where can I get player stats for the entire tournament?

Yes the Medal Round. Which starts Janurary 2nd.

The best place for stats is the World Juniors page at IIHF.com

Is first place wrapped up for sure? What happens if the US loses to Finland?

same as in the other group. so nothing is certain yet.

Is first place wrapped up for sure? What happens if the US loses to Finland?

Finland lost to Russia and only beat Switzerland in overtime. They only get 2 points for defeating Switzerland in overtime, so the best Finland can do it 8 points where as the US is already at 9.

same as in the other group. so nothing is certain yet.

USA has mathmatically clinched the group actually. Even if Finland wins that puts them at 8 to the Americans 9.

Finland lost to Russia and only beat Switzerland in overtime. They only get 2 points for defeating Switzerland in overtime, so the best Finland can do it 7 points where as the US is already at 9.

oh yeah, you're right.

same as in the other group. so nothing is certain yet.

I believe the US has wrapped up the group. Because Finland won in OT against the Swiss they only got 2 points. Thus they can't tie the US. The only team that can is Russia who loss to the US so the US owns the head to head tie-breaker. I believe for a 2 way tie head to head is used as the tie-breaker which the US owns.

Sorry if it has already been mentioned but I didn't see it... who was named the player of the game for each side? TIA

It is good that US won, so they deserve their semi-final against Canada :D

It is good that US won, so they deserve their semi-final against Canada :D

well, good for Americans, their hockey is progressing very well...I just hope it finds it's fanbase

Bobrovsky for Russia. Summers for USA.

Team USA scores! TYLER RUEGSEGGER has scored for the United States. As they worked the power play, Jordan Schroeder ripped a shot from the point and the rebound came right to Ruegsegger on the back door and he slammed it in. Assists: Schroeder, Okposo

word is leafs scouts are all over ruegsegger.....hed be a 1st rounder this year they say ..

Great game by USA! Bravo! They earned a game with team Canada where i hope they repeat their success. USA had twice as many shots on goal then Russia, over 40, and the fact that Bobrovsky only let 3 in is a good testament to his skill. Although kicking the puck into his goal that gave USA the win was disturbing. This is a good wake up call for Team Russia. They have to crush the swiss and hope the Czechs don't beat Sweden. Another up hill battle for team Russia, let's see if they fold or turn this into something.

USA looks much stronger than Canada so far, I'm just praying they won't drop the ball like the usually do when it matters the most...

Thats all assuming Canada doesn't wind up with the top seed in their pool. THAT is yet to be determined. If the Czech's beat Sweden on Monday(in regulation)...Canada still gets top seed in the pool.

I told you so.;)

I told you so.;)

You told us nothing?

not if the Czech's win by 6 or more or in overtime.

Nice win today boys! Too bad we're not a real hockey country like Russia and Canada. Oh well....

USA was a better as team in every aspects of the game!

The US winning the group just to have to play Canada in the next round (if this is the case) is not a good thing. There should be an automatic rule that these two nations ONLY play against each other in a final, if they both get there:-)

Now one of these two (most likely Canada) will knock off the other, only making things easier for the other teams, who most likely are not as good on whole as either the US or Canada.

JMHO....

Have you seen Sweden play yet, CIsle, they are pretty damn good.

Wake up, man. USA beat Russia only for the sixth time in the history of WJC.

Thats all assuming Canada doesn't wind up with the top seed in their pool. THAT is yet to be determined. If the Czech's beat Sweden on Monday(in regulation)...Canada still gets top seed in the pool.

Wouldn't Canada still have to win the goal differential between the top 3 teams in their pool to clinch a bye if the Czechs beat the Swedes? Sweden is still way ahead in the goal differential between these top teams. Canada would need to blow out Denmark too, in that case, though that will probably happen.

There should be an automatic rule that these two nations ONLY play against each other in a final, if they both get there:-)


OMG, wow :help:

The tie breaking formula for a 3 way tie (should that happen) doesn't factor games against Slovakia or Denmark.

Canada would win if the Czech's beat Russia though.

Ahh, I see. Because Canada beat the Czechs by 3 and only lost to Sweden by 1, they have a differential of +2 between the 3 potential first place teams. Sweden has a differential of +1, having beaten Canada by 1. And the Czechs are at -3, having lost to Canada by 3. So any Swedish loss would put them at a worse goal differential than Canada, which is why Canada would get the tie breaker ahead of Sweden.

But if the Czechs somehow beat Sweden by 6 or more goals (not likely to happen, but you never know), wouldn't the Czechs then clinch the bye through goal differential?

Yes, they would

Yes, they would

OK, now I get it. Thanks for the clarification!

Seems like an awful lot of penalties this game. Is it the refs or the players fault? I know Carman is famous for his streaks of indiscipline.
Russia started the game in rather undisciplined fashion as they had a hard time containing the Americans - and the refs called absolutely every little thing. What team Russia's complaint was is that the refs eased up as the game went along to the point of not calling some clearcut American penalties to end the game. As for Carman, apart from a tussle with Filatov early on, his penalties were merely him pulling down attacking players who he didn't have the body position to stop cleanly.
