"It was pretty strange. They both got minor penalties for it, but that was it."
>>Islanders head coach Scott Gordon, serving as an assistant on Team USA, commenting on a shoving match between Kyle Okposo and Mark Streit during Team USA's OT loss to Switzerland (Boys will be boys.).
Despite the win, Switzerland is eliminated while USA will meet the Finns in the quarterfinals. [Update: Video highlights here, which do not look kindly on Robert Esche.]
