Olympic hockey
 

A tleast the US got a win beating the swiss today. I am sure it wont get any easier as they go along though.

They were saying the next game should be a little bit easier. Great game today though.

Damn I just turned it on and canada is beating Norway 8 to 0.

Playing on an NHL size rink should help the US and Canadian teams.

Go Canada Go!

As much as i'd like to be able to blame the rink size, Canada did horrible in Turin because they didnt play together, not because the ice surface was bigger. We've won plenty of championships on Olympic ice before.

But, Canada has hockey gold locked up this year!

orly, I would watch the russians they seem prety loaded this year. The US doesnt have enough talent up front and I doubt Miller can win it by himself the way hasek did for the czech republic. Will take some time and see how the squads start to gel as the games go on.

The Russians are good, but not good enough that we wont walk all over them...

This team is better than our 2002 team, and our 2002 team was unstoppable.

I didn't see any of the game.

Yeah the Canadians are the odds on favorite. They are stacked.

Next game for USA is tomorrow at Noon. Are these televised live?

Yes but the Canadians are screwing the US by scheduling the games during the day while the Canadian teams get prime time. Fuckers. DVR FTW.

Shitty. Wish I had DVR.

if you werent out trying to spoon gasman and buy guns you could get a dvr :lol:

Funny, but probably not.

I was hoping someone knew when the next game was. I hate that the olympics don't tell you what sport they are playing on the guide. I want to watch hockey, not fucking curling.

Yeah, that sucks.

Dish says what sport is playing in the program guide.

They just said favorites in men's hockey for like 8 hours last night. One hockey game. Bullshit everywhere else.

No, the Canadians are playing to their home audience. Funny how that works. Think how the Czechs and Russians feel about it.

Why? Did someone want to watch a team besides Canada?

Not around here.

USA hockey on in 1.5 hours.

Aw fuck I forgot to set the DVR. Who are they playing?

Norway.

Wife isn't home to set DVR... I wonder if Dish will allow me to set the DVR remotely. Time to investigate.

Fucking technology. And I've still got rabbit ears for my 3k dollar TV.

I can do it remotely but I have to be at home to register my account because I need the ID number off the DVR. Shit.

Shitty.

Great first period so far. Miller playing his ass off in goal

USA!!!!!!!!!!!:rockwoot::rockwoot::rockwoot:

Really good game and Miller is on fire.

24 shots on gaol for canada in the first. Way too much.

Exciting ass game.

Hope my boy miller keeps it up.

It'd be nice to see less shots on goal by canada and more by the US.

re thats being adressed in the locker room.

Say you guys see ovechkins hit on jagr. He got lit da fuk up.

2 very lucky goals by the USA so far.

Im not even saying this just because im Canadian. The USA looks horrible on the ice, they just got some breaks Canada havent.

they took it to canada in the first few minutes but canada seemed to dictate play the rest of the period.

Sometimes all you need is the hot goalie to steal you a few games.

kinda like how another sabres goalie did a few yrs back LOL

Oh, I agree, a goal is a goal, and their ahead...


oh, no, not ahead anymore!!!!

fuck.

BOOOOOOO

could be a lot worse millers made soem big saves.

I was in the middle of typing when heatley jammed it in... lol

US side seems to be (barely) treading water right now. They better get it together as I don't see luck alone getting them through.

It can easily be 4-2 or 5-2 right now :(

Yep, Miller is the only thing keeping them in the game. At least they are making the most of their opportunities when they get them.

theyre showing some signs of life and def are getyting more physical.

You don't see a collision like that too often. The three looked OK so I don't feel too bad about :lol:

ETA: NICE GOAL!

Score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

america is picking it up for sure.

Wow that was some great end to end action here

Another nice goal. Canada is having no luck.

This game is nuts

Wow, someone tell me why we brought brodeur to the olympics again???

4-2:rockwoot::rockwoot::rockwoot::rockwoot:

great save by miller

after the first period, i never would have guessed we would be doing this well. we were being dominated even though we were up.

cause on paper he is the best goalie in league...he sure as shit isn't proving it tonight though.

Jeremy Roenick said that the US would win 3-1, I was thinking to myself what the hell is he smoking...I didn't think that Brodeur would give up three goals and I sure as shit didn't think that he would give up four

Miller def kept em in the game after the second periods barrage

I really couldnt believe they started brodeur. I said it before the game.

Miller is awesome though!

Wow, I never thought Miller would be able to save that Iginla shot. Shit Canada scored, 4-3 now.

this is fuckin intense.

Holy shit! Canada is doing everytihng it wants but score.

what a flurry of shots!!! good on ya Miller


GOAL

5-3. fuck yeah.

Love the empty netter.

USA...USA...USA


d

Congrats guys. You didnt play well, but you won!

shots 44-22! You guys all owe Miller blowjobs!

It definately wasn't the Miracle on Ice, but it was a nice upset.

We'll leave that job to Tommy :D

holy shit what an ending

Good game.

And NBC is garbage, putting that game on MSNBC and ice dancing or something on NBC.

great game.

Go team usa

I'll be happy to have all the hockey games on msnbc, no damn commercials till intermission!! That was a FAST game, great to watch. Both teams had their strong moments and their sloppy moments.

Miller was outstanding. The rest of that team played like crap. Aggressive, sloppy, dirty....but you got the job done and that's what counts.

I am sad today. :(

I hope NBC's transmitter catches fires. Fuck that network. Assclowns. This is why they are in 4th place. Faggots.

don't hold back, tell us how you really feel:lol:

Markos a prety angry man, thats mild for him :lol:

so are you gonna take one for the team and give Miller his blow job like Apoc said he deserves :lmao:

Dont you have some soccer to go watch or something :gofurslf:

He wins the gold AND a stanley cup then we will think about it lol

6 guys on that team are from MI.:rockwoot: Rafalski (Detroit Red Wings) is firing on all cylinders and Miller(MSU Spartans) is a fucking beast.

He already beat Team Canada alone.

And thats not a dig at your team. Canada was in control for 80+% of the game, Miller just wasn't letting the pucks in. Seriously, aside from him, most of USA looked like a highschool team.

They looked like second rate river rats with the aggressive crap they were pulling.

Marty got us off to a bad start with his handling....and he pulled it back but man!

Broduer and Pronger were playing like little girls. That is why they lost.

Youre absolutley right miller just played like a man posessed last night. If he can do that agianst the czechs, sweedes and russians a gold is a distinct possibility.

From the chatter on the local radio I think brodeuar is done for the tourney.

I'd like to see MAF put in and actually thought he might've been for last night's game.

that's i June :nee:

You wantt Fleury put in net? Are you sick?

Luongo is the only choice for team Canada. Brodeur shouldnt even have been taken, and Fleury should be caged up unless Luongo is hurt.

You have the best Goalie in the league on your team, and you put Brodeur in net. Fucking beutiful.

I've been bitching about this since he was announced as a goalie for Canada. Looking good on paper, and looking good on ice are two totally different things.

hey! I like MAF! I think he's solid. I think Brodeur gets the nod for the sentimental factor...and that cost us last night. :(

Have you seen his recent work with my beloved Pens? It leave a little to be desired.

Ya, I know, right?

He's never been that good, definately not one of Canada's top 3. His offense won a cup, not him.

At least brodeur used to be the best. Fleury, not so much.

I like MAF...he has his days. And he did make a few incredible saves in the Finals last year. But dude lets some easy pucks get by. He's not Olympic caliber...yet. But he's getting better.

He has his days. He'd have been a better bet than Brodeur last night. Was he playing baseball or hockey?

Ill give Brodeur one thing, he is the best puckhandler in the league as far as goalies go. Roy was about the only other Goalie who came close. But he made a horrible mistake, and it threw him off his game big time.

As much as I hate Roy, I wish he was younger, and playing in net for us. Dude was a god between the posts.

Yeah, who hits in hockey?

Dumbass, she's not talki9ng about hitting. Hitting is hockey, not aggressive hockey.

She means they were throwing themselves hard down the ice with no coordination and no passing.

learn to talk hockey, or GTFO!

Are you sure that is what Kell meant by "aggressive crap"? She also called America's play dirty. To me that indicates she meant more than a lack of coordination and passing.:shrug:

im pretty sure she meant dirty as in messy.

If not, she should GTFO too!

I guess we eagerly await clarification on who should GTFO.:lol:

That policy will be strictly enforced.
