Olympic Hockey Thread

[Warpe]

A Canada-USA final is pretty well a given on the women's side, but what about the men? Think Canada's gonna be there, but I dunno about those pussy Americans...

[WildBobAA]

Hmm the olympics are going on? *yawn*

[Demiparadigm]

What is "hockey?" is it anything like soccer?

[dj newman]

Imagine two canucks being the only people interested in this thread

Canada has looked sweet so far....the other side is a crap shoot by the looks of it. US will have trouble making the playoffs....go Latvia.

[Warpe]

Guilty of blasphemy!! Your sentence is a hockey puck in the 5-hole area!!

[tcpj4]

Gold medal match for Mens will be Russia vs Canada. Go Russia.

US for the bronze

[Warpe]

I dunno...the Finns are 2-0 and so are the Slovaks. I'd like to see a Canada-Finland final, with ex- Winnipeg Jet Teemu Selanne. Russia crushed Sweden today tho.

[journey075]

sweden looks good this year. think theyll win it all.

[donkbee]

haha Sweden's going nowhere. Too bad Naslund isn't playing. Glad he's resting up.

GO CANADA!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

[Corey]

fucken canadians... all u fucks say is eh...

well gl to you eh sayers hope usa does well but yes Canada is the powerhouse since Chech Republic lost today.

[Miffed22001]

russia gold
canada silver
usa bronze

their ive said it now ill leave.

[Greedo017]

the only thing less interesting that olympic hockey is all other types of hockey

[dj newman]

I have gained a whole new respect for the lady in the thong....

Oh, and there is no way USA is making the medals....be lucky to make top 6.

[lolzzz_321]

HOw is Qatar doing?

[donkbee]

I have gained a whole new respect for the lady in the thong....

Why, what happened?

[ake]

Bleh, our team is weaker than normally..but we usually need a bad start to get things going. And you fucking canadians know you got lucky last time in the final. Actually you injured Forsberg only so you would have a chance, that's bad hockey.

And yeah, as long as Finland doesn't win Im happy (which they won't).

If sweden can't make it Ill be rooting for Czech, they play beautiful hockey. Russia too.


courtibee, do you remeber the 94 olympic final match final shootout?

[Pingviini]

Team Finland after 2 matches. 2 Wins, Goals 11-0.

[a500lbgorilla]

The Men's US team is real weak. I'm cheering for Germany becuase I like Malikin, Ovechkin, Kovalev and Kovalchuke.

[G_host]

OK Sweden through to the first final and USA is not there

It's beginning to look good

[Warpe]

Awesome! That's great for women's hockey.

[bigred]

The Men's US team is real weak. I'm cheering for Germany becuase I like Malikin, Ovechkin, Kovalev and Kovalchuke.

Ovechkin had the greatest goal , EVER

[Gab15]

if someone think USA is getting a medal in men 's hockey this year , they better start praying right now.

Canada got gold this year.

[Warpe]

Canada vs. Sweden for the women's gold on Monday. Sweeeet!

[Blinky]

courtibee, do you remeber the 94 olympic final match final shootout?

She's a young 'un and probably doesn't remember.... OTOH I'm sure we all remember this one...

[ake]

My dad had to call in sick the day after that one

[tcpj4]

All of those players are Russian.

Russia and Germany have the best looking sweaters, by far. ;D

[bigred]

What exactly is happening in that picture. Is she shying away from puck?

[Blinky]

Ake: indeed - it must have been hard to watch.

Bigred: the photo is of Tommy Salo who gave up THE softest goal in the history of hockey against Belarus in 2002 olympics. IIRC it was a long shot and Salo was, uh, afraid of the puck...

[dj newman]

The funny thing is, the Oilers would probably love that goalie back at this point.

Thongs are sexy Courtiebee.....but being a canadian hockey fan is way more sexy.

Who is the Swiss team....beat both of the pre-tourny favorites?

Hot goalies are +++++EV in short hockey tourneys.

This could be the wildest International Hockey Tourney ever.

Who makes it out of that group on top....Switzerland?

[Genitruc]

Yikes. That damn Swiss goalie is like playing every hand with a guaranteed 3-outer hitting. Brutal game for Canada. Things not looking good with 2 remaining games (even though Round Robin means shit all).

[Genitruc]

BTW BIGRED : best part of that Salo goal is that the puck literally BOUNCED OFF HIS HEAD, way up in the air, then into the net. hilarious.

I meant russian, mah bad.

[ake]

In your face canucks

Damnit, I just heard that Forsberg won't be playing in tonights game vs USA, not good

Sweden and Czech not doing too well..I dont like the look of this

[Muxy]

courtibee, do you remeber the 94 olympic final match final shootout?

I would of only been like 5-6 at the time, and i remember i was cheering for sweden (the far inferior team to canada) and my dad sent me to my room.

[ake]

Who cares about women's hockey? I don't even care about my team and we're in the final soon

[Warpe]

[RiverMonkey]

Canada is the sucks.

For the swedes out there, shootouts between sweden and canada olympics 94, oh its so beautiful

[donkbee]

Well we beat the Czechs. Canada has some work to do before the next game. Brodeur saves the day ...!

[ake]

No Hasek = sucks

[Warpe]

Well we beat the Czechs. Canada has some work to do before the next game. Brodeur saves the day ...!

Yeah, Brodeur beat the Czechs. We were outshout 12-2 in the third. Our boys better step up the scoring. Must win from here on in...

[donkbee]

Today at 11:30 am the Russians die.

[dthorne04]

Since I won't likely be up when this starts, nor will I bother to watch it at all, should I just assume when I hear in the news tomorrow that a 20 year old girl has gone on a shooting spree in Vancouver that Canada has once again choked?

[ake]

Soyuz nerushimy respublik svobodnykh
Splotila naveki velikaya Rus'!
Da zdravstvuyet sozdanny voley narodov
Yediny, moguchy Sovetsky Soyuz!

[ake]

Sweden ready for semi finals

Sweden - Switzerland 6 - 2

[donkbee]

Just because Americans suck at hockey (Finland > USA), doesn't mean you have wish bad things upon the Canadians. Get over it, seriously. It's not my fault your team sucked this year. Just cheer for the Canadians and accept the fact that we're winning gold in the only sport that matters.

... Besides, I don't have a gun

Typing this in your sleep?

[dthorne04]

I'm talented...

...unlike the U.S. Hockey Team.



I hate you. SPUTNIK FOREVER.

[G_host]

Europe Ownz North America
Not even Semi for either USA or Canada...

*wow*

[Warpe]

Ouch. NH Russia.

Okay, I'm cheering for Finland now...

[a500lbgorilla]

Europe Ownz North America
Not even Semi for either USA or Canada...

*wow*

USA going 1-4-1 didn't suprise me. I said before the tounry started that we would get crushed.

[donkbee]

I waited four years for Canada to win gold in men's hockey again. That's a long time. And they can't even get into the semis???

Whom do I have to sleep with to get tix for the gold medal game in the Vancouver 2010 olympics? Should I even bother now? Because if Canada does this to me in 2010, I'm gonna have to move.

I'm so depressed. Bye
