Team USA Fights for Worlds Life

Team USA will face Finland today at 2:15 pm in what amounts to a play-in game for the Americans. Win and they move on to the qualification round. Lose and head home with your tail between your legs.

Kevin Allen at USA Today says Brandon Dubinsky stepping up is a key for the Americans to beat Finland.

Coach Scott Gordan has tinkered with his lines a bit to jump start Team USA's anemic offense...

Galiardi-Potulny-Moss
Foligno-Carter-Hanson
Kreider-Nystrom-Kennedy

...big time game for USA Hockey as a loss here would be a huge embarrassment.

Im not surprised that this is happening to the USA team cause if you look at the roster most of those guys are 3rd and 4th line players at best. Not much scoring ability on the team.
