USA: 0-1
This just in from USA Hockey:
U.S. Men’s National Team Falls to Germany, 2-1, in Overtime
at 2010 IIHF World Men’s Championship
GELSENKIRCHEN, Germany – Ryan Carter (White Bear Lake, Minn./Anaheim Ducks/Minnesota State Univ.) scored the game-tying goal in the third period, but the U.S. Men’s National Team fell to Germany, 2-1, in overtime here tonight in the opening game of the 2010 International Ice Hockey Federation World Men’s Championship at VELTINS-Arena in front of a world record crowd of 77,803 fans.
“It was a great event to be a part of,” said Scott Gordon, Team USA’s head coach. “Obviously we’re disappointed with the final result, but I was especially pleased with the way we played in the third period.”
The United States and Germany played a scoreless first period, with Team USA outshooting its opponent, 8-7. Nick Foligno (Buffalo, N.Y./Ottawa Senators), who had his breakaway attempt stopped by Dennis Endras, generated the frame’s best scoring chance, while U.S. netminder Scott Clemmensen (Des Moines, Iowa/Florida Panthers/Boston College) turned aside all seven shots he faced to hold Germany at bay.
In the middle stanza, Michael Wolf netted Germany a 1-0 lead at 5:20. Clemmensen turned aside six shots in the period and Team USA outshot Germany by a 10-7 margin.
Carter knotted the score at 8:28 of the third period. Chris Kreider (Boxford, Mass./Boston College), who was stationed at the right-wing half boards, poked the puck to Christian Hanson (Pittsburgh, Pa./Toronto Maple Leafs/Univ. of Notre Dame) at the point, where he took a slap shot that hit off Carter and a German player in front of the net before crossing the goal line.
Felix Schutz scored just 21 seconds into the overtime period to give Germany the win.
Clemmensen, who stopped five shots in the third period, finished the contest with 18 saves.
Team USA will face off against Denmark in its second preliminary-round game on Monday (May 10) at 10:15 a.m. EDT.

wooo damn hooo carped again!!!!!!!
Oh, Linda..I thought I’m First at last
Dubinsky’s tripping! Oh noooooes!
Good afternoon, Sally!
i’ll give it to ya 4ever!! i dont think anyone noticed for about 5 minutes… i just noticed cuz i saw a new title out of the corner of my eye
Attendance: 77,803 ?? Where do they play that holds 77,000 ?
Blog went from one crazy discussion to another.
No thank you on the halak trade. Hank is still better and it is ridiculous to think anything you get for him will make the team more competitive when he is the single most competitive part of this team. The logic is asham-backwards!
Veltins-Arena – it’s a soccer stadium they converted for the game
True… make that zuccarello-AASEN backwards and you got it!
Oh carcillo, you’re right Linda!
Chris Kreider has played in both the indoor and outdoor hockey games to have the highest ever attendance.
The indoor game being this years Frozen Four finals at Ford Field. (alliteration anyone?)
And todays outdoor game.
70,000?!? Wow, that’s more than the seasonal totals for attendance in Jersey!
That can’t be completely true, billy! When I go the stands are packed with rangers fans!
Germany???
Haha, I know! But I couldn’t pass it up! Ahhhhhhhhh… still waiting for Slats to retire btw :/
I don’t know, but Pronger has been playing like he’s missing a prong or something.
[WHAT?]
Looking for the SWEEP!!!!!!!!!!
Let’s Go Bruins!!!
FIRE SATHER!!!! Don’t let him retire….
billy, defintely half a seasons worth of Thrashers fans for sure
Trade Lundqvist for Chara’s foot.
Sweep? what on earth for? I want these teams to go seven games and beat each other into the ice! Who cares who wins, as long as they are broken? Of course, this is coming from somebody who recently started cheering for a certain team in red playing a certain defending champions…
I just want Philly gone ASAP…
I just want to see Kane and Toes’ team win the Cup. If they don’t, then it’s another waste of a year. I don’t want any of these teams winning the Cup.
Especially the Sharks. Last thing the NHL needs is Heatley drinking and driving, and forgetting to put a seat belt on the Cup. It will fly out the window, and the NHL will have a carppy trophy.
Not as bad as the MLB’s Six Flags tribute trophy.
Fine, but if it’s a sweep, then let it be in a lot of overtimes…so they can beat each other into the ice for many more “games” within 1 game please.
SCORE!!!!! RECCHI!
BOSTON 1-0
Recchi made no mistake in burying that one…
Drat. Tied up.
Philly fans are weird looking
I wish to never hear the crease referred to as “the paint” again please, thanks.
Or hockey sticks as “twigs”...
They cant win in 4!! That’d be too easy for Boston! Oh, wait… I’m so effing confused.
How about the glove as “bread basket”?
Or “in the wheelhouse”
Tony, I was thinking the same thing. They had a really weird geeky looking kid in a Flowers jersey and a red hat.
Or the use of kitchen utensils as actions on the ice… ladled, knifed, spooned, seafood forked, etc….
2-1 Flyers!
Pronger 2-1. Darn
Rask is not looking too sharp tonight. 2-1 filthy
can openered.
Orr, I don’t think anybody can do more damage to the trophy than the 1994 NYR, who created the need for Stanley to have full-time body guards.
Carcillo in the box
Sin bin, I meant
Dammy!
Not so fast! 3-2
Surprise! Surprise! 3-2 now…
What’s with all those fragile twigs?

They cant win in 4!! That’d be too easy for Boston! Oh, wait… I’m so effing confused.
*****************************************
one day at a time ILB, you can do it!!
Withdrawal I guess, Linda…Sorry
Take the shot, Man!!!
Actually, didn’t Chelios nearly kill the Cup two years ago? He dented it. The bastard!
Ooooooookay, Joe.
I want to rip that guys nose off, and stab his eyes out with it.
we’re here for you ilb, we won’t put you on Intervention
Seems safe to come out now…
I touched the Cup in 1992 , Dam Penguin germs all over it!!!
They gotta work ‘Slap Chopped’ in there somewhere.
The Rangers knocked the whole bowl off the top of the trophy.
Ha, Greg was that before or after Lemieux had it floating in his pool for a week?
http://simg.sportsbybrooks.com/a/f/afd8b3987754d01f8a53af230093b6aa_StanleyCupPoolParty.jpg
Lin, Did you see the episode with that boxer with the funny cry? I was in pain from the laughter.
Nothing beats the girl that was addicted to the Dust Cleaner.
I love Intervention. Sometimes i forget that it’s a serious show.
Carp! Ya see the Broadstreet Bullies yet? I watched it with a NON hockey fan, and afterwards, it left him more interested in the NHL. Why doesn’t the league do more things like this to attract new fans?
Myself? I liked the show, and plan to watch it again at some point. It was nauseating at points, but it was informative and entertaining.
i have to start watching that show! i watched a few episodes of hoarders. i forget when these shows are on, except for the psychic kids one, love that.
Billy, you mean the shoot out is not enough to attract new fans?
Carp, is it true the Rangers put a stripper in the cup ?
Linda, lol, good point. The NHL has done enough already (to further confuse non-savvy fans and annoy the die-hards).
billy, i don’t get HBO. So, no.
Tony, that’s the rumor.
The best story is the Montreal team that had to change a flat tire and left the Cup by the side of the road.
3-3. Imagine being Flyers fan right now?
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tied up! Now finish them off at home!
Billy , Yeah I touched it after that!!! I know it was polished cuz the guys with white gloves took it out wearing thier gloves. I dunno If we were allowed to touch it but right before my buddy took the picture I quikly put my left arm around the cup and touched it while I had my other finger pointing up at number one. I’d have to google and see why the Stanley Cup was in Saskatoon after the Penguins won the cup?
A week after winning this year’s Stanley Cup, Red Wings Kris Draper put his newborn daughter Kamryn in the Cup where she did what newborn babies do. We’ll let Draper explain: “She pooped in the Cup…We had a pretty good laugh. I still drank out of it that night, so no worries.”
“3-3. Imagine being Flyers fan right now?”
No.
Montreal flat-tire story:
The Stanley Cup was also lost, but no one picked it up. In 1924, Montreal Canadiens players were on their way to a victory party at owner Leo Dandurand’s house. The players had set the Cup on the sidewalk snowbank while they changed a flat tire. When arrived at Dandurand’s house, they realized they had left the Cup on the sidewalk. They hurriedly drove back, and were relieved to see the silver bowl sitting right where they left it, completely untouched.
Flyers need to feel the pain!!!!!
Top 10 Stanley Cup stories
http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/news?slug=ys-rcsstanleycup060309
Someone needs to Poop on Drapers head for letting that happen!! Its too gross to be funny .
Another good link: http://www.greatesthockeylegends.com/2009/06/stanley-cup-lost-and-stolen.html
...and poop on Car-silly-o too!!!
What a cheap call on Chara.
Byfuglien Hartnell is full of carcillo. Do I make any sense?
Draper’s daughter carcilloed in the Cup.
lmao the Cup was full of carcillo oy!
dumb and dumber ilb. they complete each other, ew now there’s a visual none of us needed!
Gotta get it back!!!
Looks like we are going to Boston. I’ll leave it at that :)
I honestly prefer to use the word poop instead of mentioning that carcillo Carcillo around the cup
At some point this blog will be completely unreadable by newbies. Hilarious!
i agree ilb, its disgraceful!! may that name NEVER be engraved on the Stanley Cup, and may he never be a Ranger!!!
LMAO, billy! If they look at my post at 9:13 they would think I was talking line combos.
LMFAO I WAS JUST PRAYING THE BRUINS WOULD SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OT ? :D
That was nice , wow!!
RECCHI!! 4-4
31.5 seconds left, good job velcro patch!!!!!!!!!
Boston Scores!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like a dagger to the heart!!!!!!!
maybe i should create the blog dictionary, in the same way we have the Nickname list and the Gregisms!!
i hope mako grasshoppa comes back for the pre season so we can begin work on the 2010-2011 Nickname list lol
To be honest, I’m still trying to figure out exactly what “Byfuglien” means…
LOL, nice job Vs. picking up that shot of the stunned Flyers fans.
holy carp, was that girl related to Fankist???? she was mighty orange!
Oh great, the Chicago-Vancouver telecast is in limbo now.
byfuglien is a nicer way to say FIRETRUCKIN (just remove some letters lol)
Olga, we may both get what we wanted. 12 OT, here we come!
Linda, thanks for clarifying, I was kinda guessing that, but wasn’t totally sure. There should almost be like a newbie primer or a glossary of terms…
i’ll work on that billy. if you are on FB, you should join the boneheads group
bbb- it works for me as long as Boston scores next.
Ugh, I would if I could but I don’t know how. I don’t FB. Maybe a phony account is in order? I dunno, I’ve resisted thus far…
Let’s just get out of this game without any hits batsmen.
If we were to hit someone, somehow the Red Sox will play the victims, then attack us tomorrow, and the media will be on their side.
Sorry, forgot. The media is already on their side.
Oops, wrong site.
I think I’d consider this week to be complete if the Flyers stay home after tonight.
Blyad.
lmao ilb
Big Buff is a tad cocky, isn’t he?
JB, i thought his NO answer was great!
“Funneled” back through center…Byfuglien kitchen tool.
oh no, is there a disturbance in the force?
‘in stride’ what, he’s a horse?
Son of a
what olga????
FIRE SATHER
Fire Sather, Linda
wow, I can’t believe they called that!
Boston Power Play!
We need a Recchi-Trick.
i wonder if it was anyone but savard if that would have been called
Go Chicago!!!!!! 2-1 over Van
>>JB, i thought his NO answer was great!
All he has to do now is back it up.
lmao @ the green men with toews in the box…thats just too funny
Come on, Boston, it’s time to put Flyers out of their misery. I want to see the Chicago match.
if he has another game like he did the last time, it’d be pretty good backin up
..is watching the Hawks Nucks game ;-)
yeah really, that was more of a bump than a body check on Savard…
goneyaaaay… blechn
Crap. See Ya’s monday Boston.
Now Go Chicago!!!!!!!!!!
Flyers live to fight another day.
Let’s go to Vancouver which just tied it at 2.
lmao i am way behind that JB… its still 2-1 and the stream just froze…damnyou hockeystreams
Oh. Did I misspell Carp?
Fire Flyers, Olga. Monday?
somewhere, conspiracy theorists are celebrating
Definitely, ilb. Monday. I don’t want them anywhere near a game 7.
Hold on! EDZO?
Shush, Linda!
my apologies Olga!! i’m gonna go check the skies because the flyers and yankees won tonight… there must be some kind of alignment
Yankees won? Who did they play? Don’t tell me they played…
Cardiac arrest happens…
cleveland beat the celtics lol hold on,stephen hawking is calling me!
i think the alternate sports universe just exploded
Chicagzo!!!!!!
3-2 lead…
Little toes Toews!
if his name is pronounced taves, i’m typing it that way… because i can
oh nice tricked out name olga!
Chicago is attempting to separate the Siamese twins. So far so good.
linda
http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/7b456ff000/green-man-from-velcrocity?rel=auto_related&rel_pos=1
lmfao tr!!!!
earlier when taves was in the box, one of the green men was in the seat on his head, and his legs were moving like he was riding a bike! We need these guys at Rangers games next year! Torts would be ballistic if they were near him! Madcap hilarity ensues!
Green man wearing an ugly tie for Torts, Linda. Im sure we can find a bonehead who would do it.
Chicago has got to win. I can’t take a double setback tonight.
i bet ORR would do it for entenmanns donuts, that burger from Burger King, and a side salad to keep it healthy!!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chicago!!!!
5 on 3
Go for the jugular!
Wow, Nucks are playing like idiots. They’re blowing this series, which is awesome news.
Toes for the hat trick!
5-2 as Vancouver implodes
Get another….
will they set cars on fires in vancouver again???
Luongo = NOT ELITE
Hossa dumb penalty! They were looking for a makeup call.
5-3 now.
Lin, I’d definitely do that. And speaking of Donuts, I was surprised to wake up to an 8 pack of crumb cake donuts sitting in the kitchen.
First things in the morning, crumb cake donut, Raisin Bran, and Vanilla Milk. That’s how i start my day!
Beer and Wheaties. Breakfast of Champions!
what kind of beer?
ORR, i would definitely get you the donuts and burger king if you did that! you would be a bigger bonehead legend than you already are lol
I guess a Sam Adams Wheat beer would be appropriate.
Boston. Every chance I get:)
wheat beer and wheaties… nice lol
Black Hawks better not try to sit on a 2 goal lead. Not with this team…
And not with a goalie named Aunt Teeny Emmy.
so three things I have noticed
lapierre makes a point to hit someone…I really like that guy.
gill is proof positive you can be a big slow physical guy and make it in the league. all you have to do is keep people close and be smart…..sign witt!!!!
talbot scores some clutch goals (not tonight)!
I don’t know about anyone else, but I am stoked as hell that montreal is getting a MLS team in a couple of seasons!!
I mean (according to carp) I am no linda, but i think the MLS in montreal is cool!!
Dan boyle is the biggest piece of carcillo in the league period.
Dan Boyle is a bigger carcillo than Carcillo?
wrong wicky. every team in nhl passed on witt. the game has totally passed him by. but somehow you know better?
wicky- why listen to a guy named “wrong”?
Game over! 6-3!
olgazo
absolutely!
wrong
at the time of the year yes, you honestly think he won’t have a job next season????
Ahhhhhh. 6-3. I feel a little better now.
olga
what? you mean he isn’t a regular (or she).....hmmm
dan ‘slewy’ boyle, own goal and an assist on the other own goal..
and I AM NO WICKY
karma on boyle! carcillo is a punk, but at least he answers the bell, boyle is just pure carcillo with a yellow streak!
niters guys, have a great saturday!
Big Buff is a tad cocky, isn’t he?
yep….....wish he was in ranger blue or we had some guys like him who could play
night linda and night grandpa
7-4 Empty net.
3 games to 1. Finish them off Sunday at home.
Good night Auntie Niemi.
witt has 1 year left at 3 million. no team will touch him and islanders will bury him in minors.
Good night, boys and girls, John-Boy, Aaron, Jim-Bob.
Good night, Sally!
I HATE to give NBC any of my money, so I wanted to buy the WC “Tournament Pass” from the IIHF website…and here is what the website tells me:
Product Overview
« From what countries-regions can I access games?
» You can access the games from any countries with the following exceptions: Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Bulgaria, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus, USA, China, Hungary, Romania and France.
Say what?? USA is on exception list and Canada isn’t?? Just another reason to dislike Canada: P
Half of the participating countries can’t BUY a tournament pass from the IIHF website directly?? Who runs that tournament? People from Versus? I know there are other ways to watch these games but not being able to buy the product directly from the seller is kind of stupid…oh well…i guess they won’t be getting my money :)
You don’t get Univesal Sports, CCCP?
sorry CCCP, i am watching the game on hockeystreams ;-)
well, watching when its not freezing! i guess i’ll see that play about six times
aaaaaw there’s mdz. and now the feed is lost. wow, they really suck for this!
go to tsn.ca and you could watch from there
i do get Univesal Sports but i wanted to watch every game…plus, Univesal Sports picture quality is horrible!
Thanks Eric…i had no idea that tsn shows the games.
last time i tried to watch on tsn, it informed me i could not because the game was only available to residents of Canada…wth!? LOL
thats is exactly what i mean Linda… i rather pay $40 and know that i can watch it on my own terms and any time i want to!
i gotta hand it to hockeystreams though, they fixed whatever the problem was with the feed, and i’ve not had a problem since. Even though the Rangers season was tumultuous, ( i KNOW i spelled that wrong) that was the BEST $70 i spent!!
4-1 canada, and why do they keep playing Bryan Adams ‘Summer of 69” each time a goal is scored?
Hockey and Italy still looks strange to me…its like Hockey in Africa… lol
Bobsled in Tel Aviv?
>>Hockey and Italy still looks strange to me…its like Hockey in Africa… lol
Or hockey in south Florida?
