Miller is playing well. Just nothing happening on the offensive end for the Red White and Blue.

If they can get it to a one goal game near the end and make a run.

Do you believe in miracles?

Shit. I think we can get another, we just can't give uo the odd man rush trying to do it.

Wow some close calls for US. Can't give up another one to these assholes....

Gotta keep control of the puck, especially on the power plays.

The US have all the momentum right now. Luongo is looking a bit shaky and Miller has finally woken up with a huge save on Richards. If they can get an early goal (USA) the third period might be the greatest period of hockey of all time.

Gotta love being only down 2-1. Down 2-0, I thought of the old soccer saying that a 2 goal lead is the most dangerous of all, due to the complacency that comes with it. I think the US took advantage of this to some degree, lets hope they can tie this quickly and make it an epic 3rd period.

Overtime rules: If a game is tied at the end of regulation, a 4-on-4, sudden-death overtime period will be played (five-minute OT in preliminary round, 10-minute OT in playoff round and 20-minute OT in gold-medal game). If the game is not decided in overtime, it will go to a shootout.

Wish they followed the NHL playoff system of multiple overtimes, multiple OT sudden-death games are epic.

When it comes to hockey, a 2 goal lead is the worst you can have.

Golden goal indeed. But sadly, shootout would decide it.

Gotta get that equalizer first though. Go USA
