Team USA Kicks Off Bid For Gold At Noon Today
by Mr. Plank on Feb 15, 2010 11:53 PM PST
in Winter Olympics

In all honesty, nabbing gold in Vancouver is going to be one helluva task. It is a young team with a good core that will make some serious noise in Sochi during the 2014 Winter Olympics, but expecting two big upsets in the elimination rounds over the likes of Russia, Sweden, and Canada is like jumping off the top of Niagara Falls and expecting to survive. Sure, it has been done before, and anything is possible in a short tournament where a hot goaltender can singlehandedly lead a team victory. It just comes down to firepower and experience, and at this juncture where the old guard has been drastically turned over to transition towards the future, relying on that experience isn't going to be a possibility. Coupled with the lack of a premier backend that will be able to stop the class of forwards thrown their way, a reasonable expectation should be (and is, I think) that Team USA squeezes their way into the bronze medal game and manages to slug out a victory.
Then again, [Insert obligatory 1980 Miracle on Ice reference here].
Getting that far means Team USA wants to grab at least two wins in pool play, with today's tilt against Switzerland being a game that is definitely one that should be included in those plans. The Americans can't really afford to lose either today or Thursday, because doing so would result in a lower seed going into the quarterfinals where they wouldn't be blessed with a soft draw against one of the minnows early on.
Since we're talking about seedings, here is how the tournament is set up. Twelve teams are split into three groups, with each team looking to gain as many as possible. You get three points for a regulation win, two points for a win in overtime/shootout, one point for a loss in overtime/shootout, and zero points for a regulation loss. Sorry kids, no free points for showing up.
After pool play has been completed, all twelve teams enter the elimination rounds with the top four receiving a bye into the quarterfinals. Seeds are determined by the aforementioned standings points, with several tiebreakers in place for teams who earned the same amount. In order, they are goal differential, goals scored, and IIHF ranking. This puts a premium on not just winning games in regulation, but also showing no mercy in the third period of a 7-0 game. Norway-Canada, also being played today, could get quite ugly I think. When you see Mike Babcock double shifting Crosby with five minutes to go, don't paint him the villain with a heart made of coal. There's a diamond in there somewhere.
The Swiss have a pretty unremarkable roster in place, with Jonas Hiller and Mark Streit being their two stars. Streit's pretty underrated since he plays for the lowly Islanders, but he's definitely a notable addition to the team and would easily see top four minutes with the San Jose Sharks. Hiller, obviously, is a known commodity to Sharks fans, and while he doesn't have the likes of Pronger, Niedermayer, and Beauchemin in front of him like the 2009 playoffs, stealing games is something he is definitely capable of.
Problem is, the Swiss have very little on the front end and will likely struggle to score goals. All of their forwards play in the Swiss leagues, which means no NHL experience and therefore no real threat that this will turn into a 7-6 affair. Team USA will be able to open it up right from the get go because of this, an opportunity they won't be afforded on the 21st against Team Canada when Ron Wilson will likely be implementing his standard defensive shell; it should be pretty entertaining to see how the lines have shaped up in terms of chemistry in the offensive end, what with one day of practice before the Games.
Here's three of Team USA's forward lines, pieced together from here and here. They are obviously subject to change ten minutes into the first period-- Wilson is behind the bench after all:
Zach Parise (NJ) - Paul Stastny (COL) - Patrick Kane (CHI)
Dustin Brown (LAK) - Ryan Kesler (VAN) - Jamie Langenbrunner (NJ)
Phil Kessel (TOR) - Joe Pavelski (SJS) - Ryan Malone (TB)
Beyond that it's safe to assume Chris Drury (NYR) will center the fourth with Bobby Ryan (ANA) on the wing. David Backes (STL) and Ryan Callahan (NYR) fight for the final spot, and I'm guessing they go with Backes to provide the lineup a little more punch. Pun intended.
Brooks Orpik (PIT) will skate with Jack Johnson (LAK) on the backend. Beyond that I haven't seen anything indicating what the pairings will be. Ryan Miller (BUF) obviously in net, and he'll be the key if Team USA ends up playing for a medal. There's just not enough talent on the blueline to stand up against the Big Three on paper, although I do like the addition of Tim Gleason (CAR) on the roster.
The game kicks off at noon today on the USA Network. Be sure to read Ivano's entry on games including other San Jose Sharks.
Go USA.

I’ve been really looking forward to this tournament, great to be able to watch some of the best players in the world lining up against each other and also fantastic to have games happening at a sensible time in Europe. 8pm tonight? Woo hoo! Now just got to see if the BBC will bother screening it.
But much as I want to watch this evening’s match up between the US and the Swiss, not sure if my heart can bear to hear the words “save” and “Hiller” in the same sentence ever again. It causes a little bit of my soul to die for ever.
Still, I’m sure the missus will want to cheer on her homeland, so here we go (clears throat): U-S-A, U-S-A! Enjoy people.
And you think you live in a non-traditional hockey market...
Doesn’t it feel good to cheer for us? :)

You should be able to watch it on the website if its not on TV. All the women’s hockey has been on it, so i presume the mens will be as well.
I don’t have an american wife, or anything that links me to any country apart from Britain, so i’ll be supporting the sharks, and therefore canada, followed closely by the USA. Shame the canada-norway match-up doesnt start until 1230 over here…its gunno be a late night
NBC streams are typically available only to US IP addresses, as is the case with TSN/CTV feeds available only to Canadian etc.
So true. Watching the world juniors earlier this season on Eurosport made me want to cry, the commentary was so bad.
Sadly it looks like the BBC isn’t showing the US game, but it is screening the Canada game live and on repeat. Damn colonies, always receiving favourable treatment!
And you think you live in a non-traditional hockey market...
It will be a late one, but nowhere near as bad as a Sharks game starting 7.30pm on the west coast. To be honest I’ll try and find the US game then hit the hay for a few hours before rising for the Canada game, and then grab a few hours after that before getting up for work.
Remind me again why we do this?

On a side note, the IOC Nazis are attempting to cover up many goalies masks with electrical tape.
Ryan Miller specifically, but Jonathan Quick and the Finnish goalies are apparently targeted, as well.

Because the IOC is the biggest group of buzz killers ever.
They are very protective over their Olympic logo, so any unauthorized usage is frowned upon. Miller has this on the front of his mask.
Also, advertising or anything that could be construed as advertising on your equipment is also frowned upon. Miller usually has Miller Time on his mask somewhere. Even though it has nothing to do with Miller the beer company, the IOC just wont budge on that shit.

Could not ask for a better day to have off! I will be glued to the TV. I was praying that Pavs would center a line with Parise and Kane but I understand Stastny.
HIller makes me nervous. We all know how he played last playoffs and if he pulls that crap again I’m gonna be pissed. Go US!!

Interesting
I love the Olympics, but this just furthers my hatred for the IOC and NCAA.
Pavelski closing in, Pavelski fires, HE SCOOORES!! 5 games not enough! The Sharks have another date in the Lone Star State!
As said on the bloguin post about this
The IOC, an international body charged with being as neutral as possible, asked for slogans which have the potential to be seen as a political statement to be removed/covered. Athletes from every country have already been asked to cover up non paying corporate sponsors on their gear. This is really no different. The IOC has very little wiggle room in which to operate in this case. As the article mentions, Canadian players are likely to get a similar call regarding the personalization of their gear.
It’s not JUST about us, it’s about all nations. Canada apparently has some “questionable content” on their masks too. As long as the IOC treats everyone by the same rules, I don’t have a problem.

I can see “Miller Time” getting covered up as he obviously got that from the beer slogan, so it’s sorta unintentional advertising, but covering the Olympic rings or “Matt Man” on his mask would be ridiculous.

It's very European
Europe would love to be this standardized place where people can come to and freely travel, and everything is the same. Britain is a hold out. Half the country still hasnt got used to seeing everything in Kilos.
I think American’s would take a similar attitude were it mandated for everyone to suddenly change from Inches to Centimetres, and from Pounds to Kilos because some bureaucrats decided this is how it should be done.
"iaT"S FUCKINGE LIEK CONICO DO MAYO!!!!!111"
Mr. K. 5/5/2009
Ah metric
People wouldn’t mind it once they got use to it, the problem is it’s just too expensive for this country to flip over systems. think of how large this country is and how many road signs, school books, etc. would have to be changed… it’s enormously expensive and doesn’t have any real tangible benifits other than we match everybody else.
"Douglas Murray is a humongous human being." – Drew Remenda
I hate the metric system!
I mean it does make more sense and it’s easier to use, but we gotta keep things American! GO USA!!!!!!!!!!!! (The Olympics make me patriotic okay)
"I think people were ready to watch some hockey. We took up enough of everyone’s time."

I love metric
Must have something to do with going through the sciences in school. It’s soo much easier to deal with.
I also completely understand the resistance to it (financially) for the US. People would get over it if we switched, but damn it’s expensive.
Also, I would advocate keeping Fahrenheit over Celsius if we do switch. Celsius is good for science or whatever, but Fahrenheit is much better for cooking and just generally describing the weather. You can better visualize temperature differences with the wider scale. That’s just me.
"Douglas Murray is a humongous human being." – Drew Remenda
I'm for metric
sadly I don’t have a say in that actually happening.
resident cartoonist @CouchTarts Lightning is seven times as hot as the surface of the sun.
That’s still not as hot as Douglas Murray. -mymclife
I reckon we have it worst in Britain because we use both.
So, I tell the temperature in celsius, long distances in miles but short ones in metres, my weight in stones and pounds (even though I can understand kgs better as an individual unit). It’s bloody confusing.
And you think you live in a non-traditional hockey market...
We have a mix of both as well, but not to the degree that you do. Schools still use a lot of metric in the sciences, but not in the rest of the country. Occasionally you’ll see kilometers listed on road signs, but never without miles. They also appear on most of our speedometers, again, with mph as well.
Look at how small the UK is compared to the US and imagine what a nightmare it would be switching our country over… Our only hope is that states can start doing it on their own and not wait for help from the federal government.
"Douglas Murray is a humongous human being." – Drew Remenda
Celsius is perfect!
0 Degrees is Freezing, 100 Degrees is Boiling point.
Or should we go back to measuring temperature on the Réaumur scale?
"iaT"S FUCKINGE LIEK CONICO DO MAYO!!!!!111"
Mr. K. 5/5/2009
Um, Kelvin is perfect!
0 is absolute zero. None of that -273.15° business.
"I think people were ready to watch some hockey. We took up enough of everyone’s time."
-Jody Shelley after an 87 second hockey fight against Cam Janssen
What does the boiling point of water have anything to do with how warm it feels outside?
Also, why use Celsius at all? If you’re going to go that route, go Kelvin. Negative temperatures is stupid, should we have negative meters too?
"Douglas Murray is a humongous human being." – Drew Remenda
I dont know, just how I grew up learning stuff. Makes more sense to me like Centimetres does.
But its amazing how quickly weather forecasters switch over to Celsius when they want to let us know how cold it is, then back to Fahrenheit when they want to let us know how hot it is.
"iaT"S FUCKINGE LIEK CONICO DO MAYO!!!!!111"
Mr. K. 5/5/2009
Again,
I like metric, I just think Celsius is completely arbitrary, much like Fahrenheit. If we’re going with completely arbitrary then I like the Fahrenheit scale better as it gives a better scale for human use on a daily basis.
"Douglas Murray is a humongous human being." – Drew Remenda
DAMN SCHOOL
I’m only 13 which means I still have to go to school which means I won’t get to watch the game. Its probably going to be a blowout anyway, but whatever.

You know Pavs will love having Kessell on his wing, no doubt Wilson will try and seduce Pavelski as being their top line center. Does this mean we’ll get a draft pick when Toronto tampers? (tongue is in cheek)

Plank – well done breaking the tournament format. I still have a hard time understanding it, but we’ll get it as we go.
I’m smelling an upset this afternoon. The guys are just getting together, and Hiller in the net is going to generate some major headaches for you yanks.
Swiss 2 USA 1, with US putting up 50+ shots on Jonas. Somewhere today there will be Sharks fans who will feel a strange dejavu every time commentator says “save by Hiller”.
Crap
I have class 12-145 so i will be missing the game. Hopefully i find a way to catch a replay or something.

Indeed indeed.
Four years ago I was also in college, but still found a way to watch most of the games via stream, right there, sitting in class, on my laptop.
When Russia was beating Sweden 5-0, the whole class turned at me at one point when we scored a goal, as I realized I probably celebrated too loud.
You people need to embrace the technology. If you’re too afraid, spend a few bucks on a privacy screen and never look back.
Sometimes at work, on work provided computers, they have firewalls and such in place to stop you from doing such things.
I plan on trying to find a way around it in the next two weeks, though.

Yesterday was a holiday, and today is not. It wouldda been nice if I could reverse that. But alas, I will be stuck at work (probably doing nothing) while the US starts their olympic run. I’m going to try and at least find a stream I can get around my firewall, but I’m not hopeful. I could take a long lunch at noon, but even then, I couldn’t take a full 2 1/2 hours off to get the whole game in. I’d only be able to watch a period of hockey…maybe part of the second.
Either way, if Jonas Hiller breaks my heart again, I will literally have to kill him. No way around it.
GO USA!

Mr. K. 5/5/2009
As an American, I’ll be cheering for the US. Should they get knocked out early, though, things get tricky. My heritage is quite a mix between Irish (no hockey team), Scottish (likewise), English (not in the tournament), and German (Go Greiss!). So, yeah, I’ll be cheering for Germany, but they probably won’t make it further than the US. Which still leaves some late cheering to decide. At that point, the Sharks take over, and I’ll probably have to cheer for Canada.
Should be a fun tournament either way.

Olympics are contested as a nation
So rather than Scotland having it’s own separate entrants, England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland all compete under the Great Britain banner. So if your roots are Northern Irish, Scottish and English, you should cheer for Great Britain (if we ever made it).
If your roots are Republic of Ireland, then you are out of luck. I dont know if they have any participants at the Winter Olympics.

But I don’t think the Sharks need him, kinda the same thing I went through when Cheech was traded. Better for the team, gonna miss him as a person.

True statement
I missed the actual line, so it could have been “He reminds me of a young Joe Sakic” but it’s a pretty simplistic statement. And NBC commentators just annoy me in general.
If we’re throwing out comparisons, I’d just as soon wait and talk the guy up for what he HAS done rather than what he might do.

Everything on Thursday night is still awesome. Parks and Recreation is an Office with heart, the Office still has luster. 30 Rock makes me laugh my head off and Community will always be great for the “donde esta, la biblioteca” rap. Chuck is great too. (I also liked Trauma when it was on, but it’s in some weird limbo of having been canceled and extended.)
Community
that show is so much better than I expected – that rap makes me laugh until I cry everytime I watch it on youtube. I also liked the bit where Abed and Troy were imitating people in the library and Jeff called them on it.

So what we’re learning here is that it wasn’t so much as Hiller last April as it was people around him..
I still maintain
Hiller wasn’t great. We gave him confidence to get a little hot, but the Ducks kept us to the outside, and no one on the Sharks commited to getting to the net.

Exactly. We just let Blake and Error keep bombing it from the outside.. Americans are going inside and there you have it.

He had excellent rebound control. That, combined with his athleticism make him a good goaltender, but right about now, he’s missing Neidermayer, Pronger and Beauchemin.

Pretty good game by the US so far
But they gave up way too many opportunities in transition. And their dmen can’t defend a 2-1 to save their life. After watching Vlasic make odd man rushes look like nothing, the American dmen are pretty bad at keeping the pass from getting across against mostly non-NHL talent.
That is exactly what Team Canada needs, a goaltender controversy.

Rofl…I tried watching women’s ice hockey over the weekend. The lack of hitting made me fall asleep. Literally. Although, my couch was pretty comfortable.
There is no parity in women’s international hockey. It’s kinda ridiculous.

Probably not. The physicality is part of the reason I love hockey. I appreciate the skill too…but its the combination of skill and physicality that makes hockey such a special sport.

I get bored watching KHL as well. It’s nice to see crisp passing (no dumping the puck) but that league needs more hitting.
It’s probably the reason why I love Ovechkin as a player (unless he’s playing against the Sharks, lol). He’s the perfect embodiment of skill and physicality. It’s fun to watch!

Skating through the neutral zone with the puck, got tripped up and Drury skated into him then Drury bumped into Hiller.

No, we suck just like the rest of the world.
I don’t think there is an event that more skewed to favor just two nations. Nowhere else in the world do they play women’s hockey.
What’s next, football as an Olympic event?
It at least has two
Softball just had one basically.

Speaks to many social inequalities worldwide
But that’s a big political debate we can avoid for the moment. But you’re right on, it wouldn’t take much to make it a competitive sport. Look at basketball. We’ve come a long way from the original dream team. Sports as a movement for change is all good in my book.
