That was a hell of a game. The US played flawlessly for the first 55 minutes. Then Canada turned it up to 11 and I was scared the US was going to blow it until that incredible empty netter.

I wouldn't say the US played flawlessly. I thought they were outplayed for most of the 1st and 3rd and half of the 2nd. They just capitalized on their chances and Miller was a beast. Canada seemed to control the puck the entire game.

Admittedly, I didn't see parts of the first two periods, but you've gotta play pretty damn well to beat a team significantly more talented than you. On their home ice no less.

How can you say that they played flawlessly while missing parts of the first two periods?

I still saw 90% of the game. You aren't going to hold Canada scoreless, just like you aren't going to go into Yankee Stadium in October and throw a no hitter. But if you can hold the Yankees to a couple of runs or the Canadians to a couple of goals and win the game, I'd say that's pretty damn good. But if I'm not qualified to discuss hockey with you guys I promise I won't lose any sleep over it.

I'm glad I work at a TV station so I can watch the games during my hours without getting yelled at.

Lucky. I just have a scoreboard open in a tab that I refresh occasionally.

Looks like its a live update scoreboard, so no need to refresh.

Swiss just took their 3rd penalty of the period. Need to capitalize guys.

I'm getting nervous...
