GOAL!!

EagleFan · 02-28-2010, 03:28 PM

Sweet!!!!! Now it's a game again.

MJ4H · 02-28-2010, 03:28 PM

game on

sterlingice · 02-28-2010, 03:28 PM

Oh man, did we need that! The US picked up the intensity a level after the second Canadian goal and here's the reward!

SI

Travis · 02-28-2010, 03:28 PM

Great tip, nice goal.

Karlifornia · 02-28-2010, 03:28 PM

Sweet deflection.

Pumpy Tudors · 02-28-2010, 03:28 PM

Hell of a play by Keslar there. Now the US needs to keep momentum.

I think I'm tainted but not watching but knowing we beat them last week.

Pumpy Tudors · 02-28-2010, 03:30 PM

Now that we know the US was offside on their goal, maybe we can consider the officiating even. The refs are biased toward Canada, and the linesmen are biased toward the US. We cool now?

jbergey22 · 02-28-2010, 03:31 PM

What's the penalty if every time a goalie felt a threat he knocked the goal out of place?

Depends on who wins the game.

Not sure if this is a serious question, but that would be a delay of game.

Travis · 02-28-2010, 03:33 PM

Both goalies are playing beautifully right now. Full credit to Miller for battling through a lot of (what look to be) great screens and not even give up rebounds for the most part thus far.

No it was serious. Ive always wondered what would happen if a goalie decided to "accidentally" knock the goal out of place when he was feeling over threatened.

By accidentally I mean falling into it or not making it look obvious.

The ref can also award a penalty shot if the puck was headed toward the goal when the net was intentionally dislodged.

Didn't want to see any goals after questionable calls. If it's any consolation it was a close play at least (not one that was blatantly an obvious miss) as it took a slow motion replay to show it.

And to use the NFL holding non-call justification, the player in question had no affect on the play.

EagleFan · 02-28-2010, 03:35 PM

Wow, just missed.

Pumpy Tudors · 02-28-2010, 03:35 PM

Luongo looks a little flustered now. Here's the best chance for the US.

EagleFan · 02-28-2010, 03:36 PM

Shoot it!!! Why didn't Kane shoot that instead of passing all the way back out to the blue line?

Karlifornia · 02-28-2010, 03:37 PM

Team USA is playing like rabid wolves now.

EagleFan · 02-28-2010, 03:39 PM

Just the kind of game I wanted to see. Barring a Canadian goal before he end of the period the 3rd period should be very intense.

Pumpy Tudors · 02-28-2010, 03:40 PM

Has Ryan Whitney even seen the ice since Canada's second goal? I hope they glue him to the bench in the third period.

The last 10 minutes of the 2nd quarter both teams picked it up a notch so now I would say this its close to an "awesome" game. Canada controlled that 1st quarter IMO. The USA is finally starting to make some things happen.

Karlifornia · 02-28-2010, 03:43 PM

Man I hope there's no shootout, though. I want to see OT, but at the same time I don't because this ending in a shootout would be, uhm..shitty?

4 on 4 OT with these two teams would be insane.

I'm glad to see NBC has got a clue. Game is live on the west coast.

It's actually not a quarter, the hockey term is period.

sterlingice · 02-28-2010, 03:46 PM

Ok, time to fire up the grill so that by the time the third period is over, I can put the steaks on

SI

Johnny93g · 02-28-2010, 03:47 PM

USA the better team in the 2nd. I think Canada's forward's are to blame for that. They need to play a smarter game in the offensive zone, and to a better job of defensive zone coverage.

He thought I was insane after the first quarter for not thinking it was an awesome game at that point so I figured I would use that point in the game as a reference.

lol, I get what you mean now. and Canadian?

Pumpy Tudors · 02-28-2010, 03:48 PM

Glad it's only halftime right now! What a game!!

It's just amazing. And Bobby Ryan and Corey Perry on this ice, too. Young and great, all of them. Even as the Ducks lose older guys like Teemu and Nieds, with this line and Hiller, they still have a tremendous base to build on.
