Re: the 2010 Olympics so far....
Holy crap, think Canada had a wakeup call??? They are up BIG over Russia after two 7-3. They look pissed and determined. Thankfully they'll also have to get by the Sweden/Slovakia winner before they get the US. US won today and will play the winner of the Finland/Czech game. Definitely going to be an interesting few days.

The Canadien team definitely schooled the Russians tonite. The Russian big line had nothing and the goaltending was terrible. In
fact, IMO, a big mistake by the Russians waiting too long to switch goalies. But then again the way the Canada team was flying it
might not have mattered.
Too bad the matchup didnt live up to the big hype but isnt that usually the case?
Re: the 2010 Olympics so far....
WHAT A GAME! Fast paced to all heck. Canada was a MONSTER tonight. Russia didn't bother to show up. Maybe the vodka mixture in their water bottles was slightly off. Ovetchkin was out to lunch tonight. I was dissapointed in his performance but happy that Canada more than just sqweaked it out like a mouse. This is the land of Rats! Afterall. :borat: Go Canada!
I'll make my medal list now. Canada Gold (with continued performance to tonights standard) USA Silver Finaland Bronze.

LOL no no that wouldnt surprise me. When this young team was put together the expectations for any type of medal
was pretty low. A Silver or Bronze (for me) wouldnt be the end of the world. What I really want to see are two really
great games in the semis like the USA-Canada game Sunday night.
And I cant believe the USA-Finland game is at 3PM EST!!!! Damn work!! This time I'll get the DVR fired up. Yesterday I had
to rely on my son in Arizona streaming it live on his computer while he studied in the school library. He then txt'd me at work
and as I commuted home!!! :D
Re: the 2010 Olympics so far....
Uh-oh Gerard...UH-OH!!! :lol:

Very interesting. This was the way the WOMANS hockey went today.
Good call though wrong gender :)

First off, Congrats ladies of Canada, well deserved.
Secondly, you will not win many games with 0 goals. So yes, no shot. ;)

Exactly. If you watch as much hockey as you say you do, you'll know you'll never win if you can't beat the goalie. Don't let Stan Fischler tell you different.

Wow thats a brilliant statement. :lol:
If the game is only 2-0, First period, you still have a shot.
The way you were talking with their scoring 46 goals it was going to be a blowout and they would never have
a chance. As long as you keep it close, which they did, you ALWAYS have a chance. Last year Devils-Carolina playoffs
Carolina scores two goals with a 1:20 left to win the game and series.
Yes I watch a lot of hockey and I've seen crazy things happen.
BTW enjoy this because come 2014 Womens hockey might be eliminated. There are rumblings in the IOC that because
of the total dominance by these two teams and the lack of any competition it might be best to cut this sport. That would
suck especially since I have a friends daughter who plays for the University of New Hampshire and is quite good and one of
her dreams is to try-out and play on the US National team.
Re: the 2010 Olympics so far....
2-0 ain't a blowout, but still...no goals = no victory. Next thing you're gonna tell me is Rick DiPietro is a franchise goaltender deserving of a 15 year contract! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Re: the 2010 Olympics so far....
USA-Finland was a masacre today. US scored 6 goals in the first period, Finland only managed to score thier one goal with minutes to go in the 3rd. is russia playing tonight?

Mika Kiprusoff pulled himself after the 5th goal lol, most of which were completely stoppable. The Finns are good but their current squad is getting old. You can't rest your hopes on a 40 year old former superstar when you're playing a group of hard charging kids.
Russia??? :lol: :lol: :lol: They'll be enjoying Vancouver's best fish and chips tonight!
