As far as I’m concerned, this game basically determines the outcome of the entire 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. I know there is ice dancing, bobsledding, nordic skiing, terrible Team USA curling, and even downhill skiing. But to me, this is all that matters. And in an event mirroring that of the Women’s Tournament, it all came down to USA vs. Canada – the rematch.
With the Thrashers losing top scorer Ilya Kovalchuk to the Devils this week, no one thought they’d show up to play… and boy, were we wrong. The first period started out with a garbage goal for the Thrashers, to which the Avs answered back almost immediately with a goal by Clark. Stastny set him up for the perfect shot; a skill he’s perfected to a T. A Thrasher penalty and an Avs power play, which produced nothing but a bunch of…well, nothing. Passing the puck around and not capitalizing on opportunities pretty much sums it up. Game tied 1-1 at the end of the first.
Are you as excited for this upcoming season as you were last year?
