USA wins in the shootout after tying the game 2-2 mid-way through the third to come back from down 2-0.

Andy Roach scores on the last of the 5 penalty shots for the win (he plays for my team here: the Mannheim Adler!).

damn. that's impressive stuff for the usa! i'm feeling all patriotic and such.

...but I sadly know what the first new topic is.(I've never seen a board so happy to see someone fail so much...probably say he ruined 4 teams)

Sad that to be patriotic had to come at a certain someone's expense.

who mentioned jagr?

i honestly couldn't care less about jagr. i don't hate him, don't like him. he's just another player. i think by assuming everyone's going to flame him, you're perpetuating that mood. maybe i'm wrong, but i don't think there's a lot of people, at least on this board, who care one way or another.

Canada beat Finland, 5-4, in overtime.

here's a link to some video clips from the IIHF Tournament that my friend sent me

It includes a goal by Halpern and the winning penalty shot by Andy Roach. It's in Finnish, but you can get the gist of it.

What I meant was I had to cheer for my country (USA) which meant I had to root against someone I like (who really had some bad luck this year).If I cheered for both,I'd be called a"traitor" of some sort.

Wished they didn't had to face the States....
