  Krejci is Bostons first line center? Haha so is Plekanec for Montreal? Do you watch hockey? Czechs have a ton of solid NHLers but anyways a great win by us and we've got two rivalry games for Friday for a chance to play for Gold. I cannot wait for that game

  Sounds like it'll be noon especially considering that North America is much farther behind time wise. That should be an epic game

  Yes - Krejci is a CENTER not a goal scorer, he has 13 goals... and you understand Montreal is 21st in goals per game right? Tell me more how Petr Nedved and Patrick Elias are elite please.
  
  stfu.
  
  edti: Plekanec has 33 points on the year, 17 are goals. He's really lighting the lamp. Btw, gfy.

  Lmao why you so butthurt that they have some solid forwards? Their offense is one by committee, maybe no true snipers but they play with good flow. US simply ran them off the ice today however, easily one of the fastest teams to ever lace the skates up. Especially the JVR-Pavelski-Kessel line, just absolutely flies down the ice

  The Czechs scored 8 goals in 4 games when you take out the game with 5. So no, they can't "ring up goals."

  Yeah in the deepest group in Sochi. Swiss, Latvia and Sweden are all very sound defensive teams, haha I mean it's not like they were some helpless team with no talent

  I'd rather not, in fact most educated hockey fans thought the Czech's had a small shot at winning. Wouldn't have been the upset Slovenia and Sweden would have been but still the Czech's are a fairly good hockey team. Anyways despite 3 huge injuries to Sweden I still have them winning in the AM and advancing to play the USA on Sunday. I think Canada's struggles finishing goals dooms them here, if it wasn't for Weber and Doughty they might have even less goals, just terrible goal output by the forwards on TC, especially considering their relatively weak competition

  Good game here between the ladies as the US takes the lead midway thru the 2nd period.
