Just finished listening to it, great game! Joe Thorton game winner, Marty Brodeur with some big saves including a penalty shot save vs. Ziggy Palfy

Is this game On U.S. TV anywhere now? Trying to follow this tournament is like trying to follow soccer in the states.

NOT ON TV?

a playoff game?

I suggest you guys write emails to your networks?

what a shame for the young men who are there playing their hearts out.....

2PM EST action

Writing e-mails won't aquire the rights at this point. The lack of stars on the U.S. team was probably the reason for no U.S. tv. Here in the Detroit area if CBC would have shown these games then it would have been on Comcast cable but no luck on that either.How many books are posting lines on this as it winds down?

Just like last year's quarter-final, it came down to a one-on-one confrontation between Czech goalie Tomas Vokoun and USA defenseman Andy Roach. This time, however, Vokoun won the battle, and his Czech team grabbed a 3-2 shootout victory that puts them into the semi-finals.

It was sweet revenge indeed for the Czechs after being ousted on home ice last year by the Americans.

In the early going, the Czechs often dominated play but never seemed to hit their full stride. It was almost as if they thought they were still in an earlier round of the tournament, as they played too much perimeter hockey. The Americans, meanwhile, played smart, defensive, opportunistic hockey and forced the Czechs to rev it up in the final 20 minutes to come back from a 2-0 deficit.

It turned into an intense, emotional contest, with the Czechs outshooting the USA 53-27. Rick DiPietro got the start in goal, despite Ty Conklin's big wins in last year's Final Round run to the bronze, but the New York Islanders youngster performed heroically to keep his team in the game.

Martin Rucinsky was the sole player to score during the final shootout, overtime having settled nothing.

Mike Modano and Mark Parrish opened up the lead for the USA in the first and second period respectively before Marek Zidlicky and Jaroslav Spacek replied for the Czechs in the third.
