I knew Pominville wasn't on Buffalo. He's on Minnesota. I remember being sad when we traded him, but people told me that Matthew Hackett should be a good goalie hopefully.

They'll need to rely on goaltending to win them a lot of 2-1 or 1-0 games but with a relatively immobile defense on a large ice surface that's gonna be tough, I don't see them doing very well. I see a very close equivalent to this team as the one they sent to Torino in 2006, a team that really struggled.
u guys are underrating USA

- BasedMinkus - 02-07-2014
Can USA win gold? Absolutely
Is their team built for this ice? Definitely not
its a crapshoot this year really. USA has the tending and defense to keep it close, but I think they lack the speed to keep up with some.
But ya this team is infinitely better than Torino

So excited for speed skating at 530am tomorrow

why, because we have callahan and brown?
this is not a slow team.

Quote:Originally posted by Brandon@Feb 7 2014, 07:56 PMi really dont think the team as a whole is that slow.
I agree, but it's the same type of team: slow, checking team on international ice, not a good combo.
just because we have some physical players doesnt mean we are slow.
i see that with Lucic a lot...for some reason because he is physical he has this stereotype that that means he is slow.
dont understand it
i mean does Sweden really have that much more speed than us?
