A tleast the US got a win beating the swiss today. I am sure it wont get any easier as they go along though.

They were saying the next game should be a little bit easier. Great game today though.

Playing on an NHL size rink should help the US and Canadian teams.

As much as i'd like to be able to blame the rink size, Canada did horrible in Turin because they didnt play together, not because the ice surface was bigger. We've won plenty of championships on Olympic ice before.

But, Canada has hockey gold locked up this year!

orly, I would watch the russians they seem prety loaded this year. The US doesnt have enough talent up front and I doubt Miller can win it by himself the way hasek did for the czech republic. Will take some time and see how the squads start to gel as the games go on.

The Russians are good, but not good enough that we wont walk all over them...

This team is better than our 2002 team, and our 2002 team was unstoppable.
