Lori Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 No country that counts Dmitri Kalinin and Max Afinogenov in their top 20 should ever win ANYTHING. Couldn't believe my eyes the other night, when I saw 61 on a penalty kill...
Simon Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Good job Russians. Show the world your class with late game cheapshots. They started that crap 3 minutes into the final period. I was hoping Pronger was going to poleaxe somebody. No country that counts Dmitri Kalinin and Max Afinogenov in their top 20 should ever win ANYTHING. And what the hell is Federov doing there? Is Russian hockey really in that bad of shape?
taterhill Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 This is an embarrassment. Oh look. Max shows up to score one of his special goals. There isn't a better player in the world when there's a 5 goal differential either way. Surprised Satan did not try to get Russian citizenship for the end of the game so he could make it 7-4 with a late talley
KD in CA Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Milbury: Russians showed up with their Eurotrash game.
Lori Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Milbury: Russians showed up with their Eurotrash game. I loved the other guys' reaction: Did he really just say that? And somewhere in Canada, Don Cherry chuckles ...
Doc Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Good thing for Milbury he's on NBC. If he said that on ESPN, he'd be suspended. And the Russians have cemented themselves as heartless whiners this Olympics. I'd seriously love to see someone show a skate down Plushenko's throat.
Simon Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 I loved the other guys' reaction: Did he really just say that? And somewhere in Canada, Don Cherry chuckles ... I can believe he said it. But I can't believe he said it at the Olympics. Next he'll be wearing lime green polka dot jackets.
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Couldn't believe my eyes the other night, when I saw 61 on a penalty kill... I noticed that for the first time tonight as he pushed away fruitlessly at someone along the boards. I knew then the ruskies had no shot.
meazza Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 You guys wouldn't happen to know if the Canada semifinal is in the afternoon EST or in the evening? I can't find it anywhere.
Lori Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 You guys wouldn't happen to know if the Canada semifinal is in the afternoon EST or in the evening? I can't find it anywhere. Think it's already been announced that the US is playing at 3pm EST again.
meazza Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Think it's already been announced that the US is playing at 3pm EST again. Thank you. By the way, seems like some Habs will have a higher value coming back home, i.e. Halak and Pleky
Simon Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Think it's already been announced that the US is playing at 3pm EST again. That's 4 out of 5 games we've had the 3:00 start. I sure hope I don't happen to get the flu about 5 minutes after lunch on Friday. Schedule Vokoun's giving the Finns trouble. No score going into the 3rd. C'mon Czechs!
Lori Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Thank you. By the way, seems like some Habs will have a higher value coming back home, i.e. Halak and Pleky One of the Habs beat guys on my Twitter feed cracked a good one the other night. Halak had something like 6 saves in the first period of one of their games, and he said, "heck, he gets that many on the first SHIFT in MTL." US-Finland it is.
KD in CA Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 That's 4 out of 5 games we've had the 3:00 start. I sure hope I don't happen to get the flu about 5 minutes after lunch on Friday. It sounds like the NYC area will be having snow all day Friday. Looks like I'll be working at home again. That Czech-Fin game was a good one last night; I just couldn't stay up past two periods. The semi final is no sure thing for the US.
Fan in Chicago Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 It sounds like the NYC area will be having snow all day Friday. Looks like I'll be working at home again. I work half day Fridays !! Yee-ha ! Is 2 pm too early to start drinking ?
thebug Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 I work half day Fridays !! Yee-ha ! Is 2 pm too early to start drinking ? Come on man! It's never too early to start drinking! Good luck to USA in the semi's, hoping for a rematch for gold (providing Canada makes it as well).

Good luck to USA in the semi's, hoping for a rematch for gold (providing Canada makes it as well). If a US-Canada play for the gold, can you imagine the hysteria in Canada ? Go US & Canada !!!
Kevbeau Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Couldn't believe my eyes the other night, when I saw 61 on a penalty kill... 2x even!! He actually held his position well. It looked like a beer league game out there. Russians trying to dangle three guys & cooughing up the puck leading to odd man rushes against a D that consisted of Gonchar, Markov and the 4 guys who were driving cabs in NYC last month. You can't have a team full of forwards that don't backcheck with a porous D like that.
