Can't believe I stayed up this late to watch that crapfest. Hey Sweden defensemen, how about play some ****ing defense? :mad:

Who would've guessed that Tomas Flocking Kopecky would have the game-winner for Slovakia?

Ugh, Canada is going to destroy them.

I was rooting hard core for Sweden. Canada is going to run train on Halak.

There are were only two goalies in the tournament capable of beating Canada once the US/Swiss game was over...Now we're down to one.

IF Slovakia somehow manages to beat Canada Friday night, I would expect riots all across Canada. Stuff that would make the LA riots look tame and pieceful. Like 15 years later they'll still be finding heads out in the woods on hockey sticks type of stuff.

Pretty much. So...

Go Slovakia! ;) :D

2002 all over again. :mad:

The US has to get past Finland and Kipper first. While Finland's offense hasn't been the greatest, they have gotten it done thanks to Kiprusoff. USA should be concentrating on them right now.

I'm not blaming her for the falls, it's for the stuff she said in the interviews afterward. She just rubs me the wrong way - I don't like her.

Time to get over it.

Just hand Canada the Gold. :mad:

I'm not convinced. Canada is clearly the best team, but as they came into the first game against the US playing imho scared, the next game they'll be so jacked up that they'll ripe for a team that can take advantage of mistakes (which we saw happen at the WJC). And often when a team that jacked and favored gets stonewalled by a goalie repeatedly - which Miller can do - frustration can set in.

On paper it's a Canadian win 7 out of 10, but if the refs don't job the US, Miller plays lights out and the US wins the mistake battle they could steal one.

Way to drop the ball CNBC. Ugh.

I forgot to mention this last night, but "Brass Bonanza" was played in the 3rd of Canada-Russia. It brought a big smile to my face.

While probably true, you never know. Halak's a pretty good goalie, and maybe the Slovaks can pull it off.

If the US gets past Finland and Canada beats Slovakia, unfortunately I think you are right. I don't think the US can beat them twice, on their home turf, in one tournament.

Anyone know what channel the Women's gold medal game will be on today? I'm probably not looking hard enough, but I didn't see it on the Olympics website.

Mess-NBC at 6 eastern.

I'm going to be rooting for a Slovakian upset, but I'm afraid that we're going to see a USA-Canada rematch for gold. I think the US will slip by Finland in a tight game. I don't like our chances going against the dirty canucks a second time...
 
Re: Part IV of the XXIst Winter Olympiad Or All Your Hockey Are Belong to US

Sweet result to wake up to. If only the Czechs had won we'd be headed to the epic Czechoslovakia reunification title bout. :p

Slovaks have won 4 in a row by 18-8 goals margin, including Russia and Sweden. Might be time to not think of them as Latvia anymore... :D

Or it might be 8 years too late.
