Dante Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 They are going to be a handful to compete against. Watched the first two periods this morning(that's all that was really needed) before going to work. The team is very fast and seem to have good chemistry already. Kessle, Pavalski , JVR look like they could be the best line in the Olympics. And Quick in net! Tough. Being from Canada I'm cheering for the motherland but I would love to see these two be there at the end. Would be a hell of a final. Can't stand the russian's and think they will wilt as the tourney goes on.
LB3 Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Glad we won....pissed that they announced the final score on the radio right as I pulled into my driveway because I had it recorded. Still watched. Go USA!
Alaska Darin Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 That was something. I think Quick struggled a bit today and we had some issues with the Olympic ice, especially at the defensive end but this team is deep front, back, and in the net. USA Hockey is definitely going in the right direction. Dear Olympic Officials: Elbowing is a penalty. I counted at least 5 today that the Russians threw. None were called. That shootout was a nail biter. I was literally shaking when it ended. High drama and great theater. Please don't ever take the pros out of the games. The hockey is breathtaking.

Not quite as exciting as seeing college guys win it all, but yes...exciting.
PastaJoe Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 I was hoping that Quick would have a bad game so they'd have to switch to Miller.
Optometric Insight Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 It was terrible seeing Miller lose the shutout with 17 seconds left
bbb Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 It was terrible seeing Miller lose the shutout with 17 seconds left That's his move.
Wooderson Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 It was terrible seeing Miller lose the shutout with 17 seconds left That was an incredible shot. He was just too far deep in the crease.
ExiledInIllinois Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 That's his move. Uneven eyes! ;-P ;-P
BuffaloBillsForever Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Quick pulled a "Hasek" in the Russian game. As a leafs fan I always remeber Hasek knocking the net off with nobody around him. Too funny. I bet Putin is pissed...lol

I bet Putin is pissed...lol Russia probably isn't complaining about their path to the gold medal game. Granted they have to play an additional game, but I think they'd rather face Finland AND Sweden than have to go through either the USA OR Canada. Barring any shocking upsets, Friday will be USA v. Canada. http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/02/sochi-olympics-hockey-playoff-bracket/
Dante Posted February 19, 2014 Author Posted February 19, 2014 LOL Russians eliminated on their own rink. Love it. Russia probably isn't complaining about their path to the gold medal game. Granted they have to play an additional game, but I think they'd rather face Finland AND Sweden than have to go through either the USA OR Canada. Barring any shocking upsets, Friday will be USA v. Canada. http://ftw.usatoday....layoff-bracket/ To bad US and Canada can't play in the final.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) The video I am watching is supposed to be live US leads 3-1 w/ 11:33 to go in the 2nd QTR V Czech Republic make it 4-1 Edited February 19, 2014 by BillsFan-4-Ever
Alaska Darin Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Latvia came to play today. I don't think getting outshot by a 5-to-1 margin is "coming to play".
The Poojer Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 looks like semis are 7AM & Noon on friday, not sure which game is which
Jauronimo Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I don't think getting outshot by a 5-to-1 margin is "coming to play". Latvian goaltender came to play. 2 goals allowed on 50+ shots. No one in their right mind would have thought Latvia plays Canada to a 1 goal game with Luongo on the bench.
DDD Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I was hoping that Quick would have a bad game so they'd have to switch to Miller. Me too. I want the USA to win obviously but it would be much more intense and emotional for me if our guy Miller was between the pipes.
