Not a good result for the US. Finland (probable #2 in their group, unless they upset Sweden) is already 2 goals ahead in the differential for the final bye spot to the quarters. I guess it could have been worse
We REALLY need to beat Canada Sunday. That would put them and the Russians on course for a semifinal matchup!

That last shot from the 2nd end was almost, kinda close.

Beautiful shot by the Swiss right there to clear two stones.

That was waste of a shot. I could do as good.

Dude got stitches right on his knee from a freak accident running in to Lundqvist in practice. I imagine its not easy skating with a wound stretching out on your knee/thigh. I'm sure he'd be playing if he could.
 
Re: Part II of the XXIst Winter Olympiad....and NBC still sucks.

The Canadian Women are handing it to the supposed 3rd/4th best team in the world. 5-0 in the first.
 
Re: Part II of the XXIst Winter Olympiad....and NBC still sucks.

Yet again I have another event ruined for me. Go to look for some schedules and see the womens downhill results right in the open.

Gabby has a cut on his leg that required 25-30 stitches. He got it in a practice from Henrik Lundqvist. So, it is somewhat legit this time around.

I wonder how much krona Lundqvist received from Hockey Sweden for his efforts.
 
Re: Part II of the XXIst Winter Olympiad....and NBC still sucks.

Yeah, this Canadian Women's hockey game is gonna get ugly...last count I saw was SOG 20-1...

Apparently it would have required more but they couldn't stitch the muscle that was cut. :eek:

I can imagine that it basically makes skating impossible.
 
Re: Part II of the XXIst Winter Olympiad....and NBC still sucks.

Blech. I thought the Swedes were at least decent.

9-0 Canucks less than halfway through.

Copper Peak in Ironwood, MI?

This facility was opened in '69, the one I climbed was much earlier than that. Is this the second ramp on that location or was there an earlier ramp somewhere else in the UP that was taken down? I see where Iron Mountain is not in current use, that's too bad. Maybe we could pump some stimulus money into getting it back up to specs.

Yeah, word I heard on the Rangers broadcasts was that it was a pretty bad gash.

King Henrik makes plenty of money already, I don't think the SIHA needs to pay him off to injure his teammates. :p

Edit to add: And if he were to try to injure someone on purpose, I'd guess it would be Olli Jokinen, since the Swedes have the Finns in their qualifying group! :eek:

The hockey tournaments, on both ends, have been severely boring to date. Nothing but absolute routs all around - the only remotely interesting game was Finland/China last night in women's hockey - USA/Switzerland to a lesser extent but there still wasn't much drama in that one.

If crap like this keeps up, there's no reason why women's hockey shouldn't potentially get the same treatment baseball and softball did from the IOC - I know they won't, and I don't really want them to, but tell me, when you have one team completely dominating everyone and there's no competition, it's the same freakin' reason they poopcanned the diamond.

This is like having (American) football in the Olympics. Absolutely brutal.

Edit: unofan said in the last thread they dumped softball/baseball because the stupid Euros didn't want to make a baseball field that will never get used again.

Americans stealing some points from the Swiss. Now leading the match

Don't call it a comeback!

Women's Hockey is not going to be in the Olympics next time around if this keeps up. The upset over the US by "Finland was it?" in Torino helped but Canada whacking Sweden around is not going to look good.

AFAIK softball and baseball got dropped because it was too American and in Softball we were too dominant.
