I didn't hear either but I did hear that Canada beat France by the same 7 - 2 score the U.S. beat them by. I also read that the U.S. was beaten by Slovakia...That kind of evens things out.

very good, yeah that does even it up. I heard that burrows skated today, and he 'day to day' now.

It didn't help that the announcers kept calling number 14 Burrows. Burrow was actually 41...he gave up his own number
at the start of the series.

I was I ironic that tavares won player of the game after getting that penalty in overtime.

ARGHHHH. Ah jeez, I'm sorry guys, I had hoped that the links in the article I posted from IIHF would be the ticket. What a disappointment. :-( Just so you know, I am on dial-up and cannot watch any of the vids posted in the forum...........I would be sitting here until the wee hours waiting for the download or get half way through and have it time-out. Thanks though, :smile:

its odd that there are no live online websites available to watch team canada.:(

thats right, it is eberle's number, but burrows said he would give it up for him, even though it was his choice
to keep his number, that must be why you thought he was playing again in the second game.

USA was beaten by Slovakia 4-2

The last goal was scored by Satan! Us poor Yanks having a devil of a time in hockey for darn shame.

slovakia has a very good team.

It is just as you thought, juan............the guys are coming together - they are adjusting to each others style of play and are handling the puck more efficiently. It was a good game against France and they deserved the win.

I was surprised by the US loss to Slovakia but they did not play the better game from what I saw. Canada and the US are now tied with one loss a each.


GO, CANADA, GO! :canada:

It`s a long tourney, gopher.............don`t despair. The Yanks have a good team and they can score goals.

Team Canada held on to beat Switzerland 3 - 2. If I were a betting man, I would bet on Russia, Sweden, or Canada to win the world championships

No, but he may play on Friday.

thats good, hope he's not coming back too soon.

Kesler has had surgery on his shoulder, will be out of commission for 6 months, so I
would think he won't be at his best all next season, they better bring in another
player to take that spot, so he can just take the time he needs to get back to
top form.

great comeback for canada today, they got off to a very strong start, then went down 5-3 shorthanded, got
behind in the score, but later in the game burrows started off their scoring, and they finished the
game with an empty net goal, winning 5-3, good game.

CANADA 5 - FINLAND - 3

How about Canada -8 Kazikstan -0

Burrows was very good in this game as well.

Burrows was very good in this game as well.

He was, and he was chosen player of the game, canada gradually wore them down,
they couldn't last the 60 minutes, and that was evident about half way thru
the game, they began to fade, and fade fast.

I only saw the third period. Not much intensity in the game.

From a game point of view, the first period was best. In the later periods, I think they could have run that score up to
15 or 20 t0 zip if they wanted.

I noticed that ovetchkin and semin are both on team russia now, and team russia are 6-0, so they will

be a force to deal with in the elimination round.
