[quote rmandel]FYI - Darren Eliot '83 is doing the color commentary for Westwood One.  He is also writing a column for the Atlanta Thrahser's website.

Darren's column mentions that Team USA's games are carried on 680 in Atlanta.
I've found it at
www.680thefan.com
and has a "Listen Live" button.  I don't know if there are any rights issues that might prohibit them from streaming the games.

Yeah!!! Go Buffalo.  You're talking about Ryan Miller, right?  :-D

Of course. If Buffalo sports fans know how to do one thing, it's complaining about perceived injustices

That's just a fancy way of calling yourselves giant homers.

[quote Tub(a)]Might have been nice to have the best goaltender in the US available for today's game, wouldn't it?

::rolleyes::[/quote]Man, I keep telling you but you can't seem to get it through your head.  Mike Richter is R-E-T-I-R-E-D.

DiPi will get his shot. Just be patient.

DiPietro is terrible. Ryan Miller should have been picked, and i'm not even a Sabres fan.

[Rich S]

Dipietro has had a very shaky year and has done nothing to merit playing time in the Olympics.

[Josh '99]

Well, I can think of one point in DiPietro's favor:  He didn't give up three goals to Latvia.

Neither did I.  Hey, start me!!

Grahame may have given up three goals to Latvia, but none of them were soft.  The only one I can really blame on him was giving up a rebound on a pad save that ended up right on a Latvian stick, and got buried into a mostly-empty net.  The other two goals were a beautiful shot, and a good shot with a good deflection.  Grahame bailed out the shaky US defense more than once.

[Rich S]

I din't see the game and haven't yet read an account.  Who saw it and can offer an opinion on the US goaltending?

Coming in, that was thought to be a question mark, right? As said before...we need Richter!

See above.

[Rich S]

Seems like the goaltending story of the game is more about Irbe than Grahame...or should be based on the SOG.

In any event,no way should the US be tying Latvia.

[daredevilcu]

Honestly, Rich (and it pains me to say this), it was like watching Clarkson at Colgate.  Every opportunity you could ask for, but they just couldn't bury them.  It was either two inches wide, or a great save by the goaltender, or blocked by a defender just in time -- or they'd just plain whiff.  Painful.
