Looking forward to seeing Team USA take the ice against Switzerland this afternoon...

And yes, Norway's Curling pants are fantastic! :lol:

I'm watching this game, and the Swiss are coming off strong. With Hiller in net, it might be more of a challenge for the USA to pull it off. Either way its a good game so far.

Great game.

Swiss are playing a very tight and engineered forecheck.

Very physical on both sides.

USA started to take control late.

BOBBY RYAN scores on his teammate Jonas Hiller with 1:01 left in the first.

USA 1 - 0 SUI after 1st.

I was laughing when I saw people on other boards thinking the USA would run over the Swiss. Just like in 06 before Canada played Switzerland.

As has been shown, the Swiss play very well together. Nothing flashy, but very effectively. I certainly expected the USA to win, but the Swiss are going to play every game tightly and to win by 2 or 3 goals is a very good result.

Team USA has worn strictly white helmets regardless of jersey color for a while now.

Another interesting Team USA uniform note:

USA's pants are just shells not new pants. At least here in Ryan Whitney's case. You can see his black pants with the orange stripe of the Ducks. I tried to look through a few of Bobby Ryan's pictures to see if that was the same, but it's harder to tell. Whitney's are riding up.

How are Canada and Norway still tied 18 minutes into their game?

It takes awhile for a team to gel, they have only had one practice together.

A perfect example is 2002, they looked awful in an opening 5-2 loss to Sweden, but they went on to win Gold.

Canada's got a few players that have played together, especially in recent times, such as Seabrook-Keith, Pronger-Neidermayer, and Thornton-Heatley-Marleau-Boyle.

That said, I think both teams are just feeling each other out....
