Really a shame that a game like this has to be decided in a shootout. I can understand regular season NHL or USHL, but a tournament style shootout is garbage. Let them play a 2nd OT.

Sounds like a thriller

Well I had high hopes but once the US didnt score on the PP in OT I figured they were toast. I hate being right in the case!! Ugh

The hockey Gods must be from Canada cuz the US outplayed them today and came up short.

Oh well I am practically Canadian anyway so way to go Canada! One helluva game either way you look at it. Now hopefully the USA can come home with some jewelry around their necks to save face.

Do you think they should broadcast this Tourney in the US?

The players are the future of the NHL. Most Americans have no idea who these kids are. This tourney is the biggest thing going in Canada.

Probably cause it's the only thing going in Canada.

Yes they should broadcast it. And not on one of those cable channels that nobody gets like the NFL and NHL are trying to do.

If the US would have won you wouldn't have said this. It sounds like sour grapes to me. If you want the Tournament Format to change get on the IIHF comitee. Propose a change.

Would have been good for VS. I think it would have went right along with the NHL they picked up a couple years ago.

You're right, if the U.S would have won I probably would not have even thought about it. But even if it were a game between Slovakia and Germany, I still would say that taking a playoff-type game to a shootout is just not the right way to end a game.

Lundy don't you have your own little personal thread going on this or wrestling or something you should get back to?[/quote]

I agree...I was just busting your balls.

I would like to see OT to decide a game of this importance. Shoot outs are exciting for the fans. But not in the medal round.

Agreed

This should be on ESPN, what are they showing instead, duck racing?

And a shootout?? Isn't that something they do in soccer? I can say I enjoyed the World Cup this last summer without conundrum but it's galling to me that they settle a world championship with a shootout. I've always liked the fact that hockey games are decided by sudden death overtime (soccer does have some OT, but it's not sudden death...), most of the greatest games have been settled in overtime.
