Did we just get a goal with 1 second left in the first? According to ESPN we did.

1-0! Thanks to a David Backes forecheck and screen (sure, and a ridiculous shot on a rolling puck by Ryan), the US leads 1-0 at the end of 1.

I couldn't get that link to work. It kept asking how I was connected and when I would enter the option, it would take me to the opening ceremonies. Then I'd click on the Live USA Hockey game and it would ask me how I was connected to the internet. So, I'd tell it. Then it would take me to the opening ceremonies. Then I'd click on the Live USA Hockey game and it would ask me how I was connected to the internet. I'll give you one guess what happened next.

Try this: Direct Link

You will need to tell it who your ISP is for your home, even if you're not at home. I had to log-in to RCN through their portal to prove I was an RCN customer.

2-0 from a Backes goal and then a powerplay goal to make it 3-0 off a rebound from an Erik Johnson shot! U-S-A = B-L-U-E-S!

Chances of medaling high? I keep hearing Russia and Canadia are the heavy faves for the gold, but I think we have a shot at it.

Slim. It's hockey, so you always have a shot at the upset if the bounces go your way, but it's hard to see how they beat either of those two teams.

We have a shot for a medal but I think we're clearly behind Russia, Canada, and Sweden. Winning gold would be a major upset. I can't wait for Sunday's game against Canada. You won't find a better hockey atmosphere.

USA wins 3-1. Not too bad for having virtually no practice time.
