There are all kinds of sources on the interwebs to get all caught up on this action, which includes SBN and tWWL.
Here is to the boys in red, white and blue bring us a little joy and make us forget about UCLA basketball. At least for a while.
Fire away.
GO BRUINS.

Can't wait
This is going to be awesome and I think we’ll be able to beat them in front. I’m going to have to catch the last period at the stadium as it ends just as the UCLA baseball game is beginning, but I’m so excited for this game.
Are there any Canadian Bruins here? I can’t think of any that I know of, but I figure there have to be a couple.

USA! USA! USA!
So for this game I am rooted for guys even if they are stinky Badgers like Joe Pavalski. That’s why you gotta love Team USA most of them went to college before the NHL.

The beer is chilled, the grandson is napping, and the tube is tuned...
Go USA!
My two favorite teams are UCLA and whoever is playing $C.
Here we GO!
GO USA!!!!!!!!!

CRAP

I don't think so
We weren’t ever going to carry the play to them so we settled for well organized and physical to keep them from using their size. They had to rely on skill, not speed or size, which plays to our advantage. It was just a stupid Erik Johnson pass that finally killed us.

We were playing pretty well
Very well organized and bodies in all the right places, but Erik Johnson has been making stupid passes in our own zone all tournament and it finally bit us.

OT
See the ad on the side from CBS sports – “u$c’s Title Hopes End with Loss to Oregon State” HELLO? What title?
"The entire world that bleeds blue and gold ... they have been dying for this." - Coach Rick Neuheisel
Pac-10 title
Their loss along with Cal’s win clinched it.

I know
but I thought they are on probation? They could still have a Pac-10 championship?
"The entire world that bleeds blue and gold ... they have been dying for this." - Coach Rick Neuheisel
Ya
They just can’t play in the postseason and will be subject to greater penalties if they violate rules while under probation.

I have to admit
I never thought he would be a great 3 point shooter from NBA distance. I thought he’d be adequate, but AA has really become a knock down shooter from anywhere. It’s awesome to see.

Not too bad of a 1st period
With the exception of the awful pass that led to the goal, I was pretty happy with our play. It wasn’t exceptional, but we did the dirty work and really got on the forecheck to hit their defensemen, which I think will pay off as the game wears on.

2-0 now
Aiii.
I want the US to win, but with four Sharks on Team Canada, I don’t want them demoralized for the rest of the season! I already have Nabby to worry about after giving up all those goals for Russia.
Damn
This blows. The last time I watched regularly was when Mcsorley, Robataille and Gretzky were playing! hehee. To me though you can see a real difference – especially on the power plays. We just can’t seem to get anything going.
"The entire world that bleeds blue and gold ... they have been dying for this." - Coach Rick Neuheisel
I think the power play struggles go back to our struggles offensively in total
We’ve started to try and get pretty. We’re not a pretty team whatsoever. We play ugly and gritty, yet for the last eight minutes or so we’ve tried to get pretty.

I love hockey
Hopefully these games give it more exposure and make it more popular again. Still one extremely exciting sport
