Sat., Dec. 25* USA vs. Russia 7:30 p.m.
Mon., Dec. 27* USA vs. Switzerland 8:00 p.m.
Wed., Dec. 29* USA vs. Belarus 8:30 p.m.(tape-delayed)
ESPN will also televise any post-prelim games featuring the US if they reach that far (and they should).
I was watching the USA/Russia game all it did was piss me off and remind me why I am so mad at the owners and the players. I wanted this damn season so bad.
It's definitely been nice to see some hockey again. We're 2-0 but we are going to have to step our play big time if we are going to compete with Canada who steam rolled through their first 2 games. Our D needs to tighten up and Montoya needs to find his game. Hopefully Belarus will help build up his confidence. I've been really impressed with Fritsche. That kid has been awesome so far.
