Team USA looks like the better team, but I really got the sense after the first period that they lost a golden opportunity to score a couple of goals. The Slovak goalie looked very unsteady in the first period, but has looked much better since then.

For the life of me, I can't understand why Chris Chelios is on this team. At the age of 44 he has a tough time playing on the larger international ice surface, and a few times this game he's even been physically pushed around by smaller Slovak players.

I agree completely, he should not be out there. There are so many better choices that could've been made, especially for this style of play.

The US is missing the one legit scorer....

if they had a Rick Nash (and he did score that goal earlier I don't care what they say) or someone like that, they'd be in great shape.

but they don't. They have good players, but they don't have that one go to guy....
