Olympic Hockey 2014

[JimmyMess]

Yes there is more than one sport in the Olympics, but being a Canadian hockey guy I have but one focus. So I call on my fellow Canadian posters to give their opinions on the Canadian Roster... as well as any other poster from other nations to give their opinions on their country's squad or ours. Thank you.

Okay I call on my fellow Canadian posters to make their opinions known:

Really wanted Looch there obvs but that was somewhat of a long shot.

[weather vane]

Also nuts that USA didnt take Ryan, Yandle, and Buff.

My Russians are going to stomp those over-rated Canadian bitches.

[JimmyMess]

My Russians are going to stomp those over-rated Canadian bitches.

I disagree, Russia has a huge talent pool but I don't see them being able to take on this Canadian squad based on the paper.

[JimmyMess]

Kinda weak that they didnt take Marty and Giroux.

Really wanted Looch there obvs but that was somewhat of a long shot.

Marty sent a message with his 2-goals last night didn't he!

[Bad News Gertner]

Canada sucks outside of North America. Their junior teams suck and their olympic teams suck when they travel.

[JimmyMess]

This will be the year that changes that I think, speed is key for these guys this time!

[HunterSK]

Whats the difference between buying this and the EA sports NHL games, Is the interna/onal roster different cause NHL seems to have the Euro-soviet leagues and players.

[RP]

I sure hope America has some sort a special cohesiveness because aside from there goaltending, they don't stack up. I would have gone with Craig Anderson instead of Jimmy Howard. Probably even over Miller

[Bad News Gertner]

[Bad News Gertner]

Miller is probably the #1 contender for the Vezina. That Buffalo team is awful and he's been great. Plus he's got a track record in international play. He was amazing in Vancouver 2010.

they're always scary, they won in 06 right?

Team Canada:

They should have included USSR stats under Russia. Looks odd that there are only 2 results listed against them.

[Bad News Gertner]

Gonna be 1-2 vs my Russians

[RP]

Shit Sweden is stacked too.

[RP]

Kessel just outworked all of Slovakia for that 4-1 goal

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Ronic who do you want to win?

[Bad News Gertner]

Fuck is Valeri Nichushkin ever impressive to watch. He's going to be a star in the NHL. Reminds me of a young Jaromir Jagr with his size and puck control.

[road doggy dogg]

Can't wait to watch the trouncing in 2 hours. Hope the internet at work can handle the feed

[RP]

I'm rooting for Toews, Sharpy and Keith, but I'd love to see Canada eat it today.

[OssMan]

Boss

[CSL]

lol BBC showing luge instead of the Canada game

[road doggy dogg]

The line on Sportsbook for tomorrow's Canada/Austria game is Canada -17000 moneyline... that's a bit ridiculous lol

[Bad News Gertner]

lol Canada just does not play well on big ice. I have a feeling they are going to run into a hot goaltender and not medal. They should have crushed Norway. Was not impressed.

Also I can see why Alex Radulov has flamed out in the NHL. Such a selfish player. Russia is getting away from that and he's a Russian type from the early 2000's.

[Arashi Kage]

I hate hot goalies so much - because Canada never has a hot goalie and always gets owned by hot goalies, while outshooting and outplaying the other team.

I am still haunted by Richter in the 1996 Canada Cup. :mad: I wish that Lemieux had played in that tourney.

Apparently, the Russians are hoping for a Canada-Russia gold medal match. I've read that the '72 Summit Series has been playing on Russian TV all week. Gotta love the two Super-Powers of hockey.

[Bad News Gertner]

You just watch: Sweden is going to take it. They've got it all.

Russia is an odd team. They seemed to play with structure today, although I have a feeling that they might abandon it and just play like Russia of old and not use their teammates.

They had a stretch today in the third period that it looked like the puck was glued to their sticks. Nichushkin was a friggen wizard. To think he's only 19. 6"4 and skates like a friggen horse on a track.

[Bad News Gertner]

The Swiss are going to be a dangerous team in the next round. Reallly gave the Swedes a run for their money. They block shots like crazy. Berra looked great except for that one goal.

[Shisen Kopf]

Fucking Zetterberg. Goddamn it no redwings should be allowed in the Olympics.

[Skippord]

Rooting 4 Sweden

Go Gabriel Landeskog, you beautiful blonde hockey playing angel!

[RP]

Break up Slovenia!

[Bad News Gertner]

Let's go Russia!!!

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Onto the quarter finals!</font>

Kessel is wonderful

[Corndad]

Man. Canada has so much talent to be looking like they are. I love me some Kunitz being a Pens fan and all but he has pretty much looked lost last few games.

Russia/Finland is gonna be a pretty sweet game if that happens.

[Nicky Fives]

SWE/SLO, FIN/RUS, USA/SVK, CAN/SWI then SWE/RUS and USA/CAN.... CAN defeats SWE for Gold, RUS defeats USA for Bronze

[Bad News Gertner]

Canada vs Swiss is such a trap game. Hiller is the kind of guy who can stand on his head.

Called it at the start: Swiss beats Canada.

I got Russia beats Finland. Swiss beats Canada, USA beats the Slovaks and Sweden beats Slovenia

Russia beats Sweden, USA beats Swiss

USA wins Gold
Russia Silver
Sweden bronze

[Bad News Gertner]

I honestly don't know how people can say Olympic hockey is better. If you don't have a rooting interest the vast majority of the games are friggen atrocious.

[RP]

Norway skill level is like 0

[Bad News Gertner]

I love Russia but that wasn't even fun to watch.

[Nicky Fives]

Slovakia giving Czechs all they can handle in the third..... 5 minutes left and Slovaks down 4-3 after being down 3-0 and 4-1....

[JimmyMess]

some weird finishes today! Surprised big time at the Swiss/Lat game

[Skippord]

good call on the Swiss, Gertner

[Bad News Gertner]

Was feeling sooooo smart calling a Slovenia win, and then the Swiss just say "not so fast Gertner".

Ah well, Latvia 3 Canada 2.

[Skippord]

the Swiss are the Percy Watson of international hockey

[Bad News Gertner]

Not too sure what you're talking about.

[RP]

You suck Russia

[Bad News Gertner]

Russia #1, Iran #1, U.S.A patooie!

Ovechkin is overrated. He's definitely no Johnny Oduya

[JimmyMess]

So bubye Russia.

[RP]

You suck Canada

[RP]

This Canada vs Latvia game is amazing

[SammyG]

LMAO, Go Latvia

[RP]

What a friggin great play by the dude on Latvia pulling that puck out of the goal. What a game!

[SammyG]

Yup. That shit was sweet.

The Latvian goalie is having the greatest game of his life right now.

Congrats to the Canadian Women's team for the Gold in Hockey. Should be a great male-semi final match between Canada and 'Murica.

I expect the winners will be....

[Arashi Kage]

Gotta feel a bit sad for Jennifer Jones. Her undefeated gold medal run in curling is completely overshadowed by the hockey win. In all fairness though, with all due respect to our other athletes, it's only fair to say that the two hockey medals matter more to Canada than all the other events combined.

The Yanks will have an opportunity to crush the soul of an entire country tomorrow in the men's semi-final.

I hope that Price will put on the best performance of his career, and that the offence will finally break out (although unlikely against Mr. Quick).

Worst case scenario, keep letting Doughty and Weber take shots from the point. It's worked thus far. :p

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol didn't wnt to post this on facebook due to backlash, but it's women's hockey. Who the fuck cares? People will forget who scored the goal by March.

[weather vane]

That womens game was mint.

Go Canada go.

[parkmania]

Found it interesting that at one moment during the Women's Gold Medal Game, I noticed that the Canadians had on the ice a Oulette, a Rougeau, and a Duggan, and I don't mean these ones:

Duggan was the American captain

[RP]

Canada dominated that first period. I feel like it should of been 2-0.

[RP]

FU Canada!

[Emperor Smeat]

:-\ US lost. Game was good though.

[road doggy dogg]

fuck yes

[Arashi Kage]

Solid performance by team Canada. Price deserved that shutout, his first true test, and he was top notch.

What a difference in this game compared to the collapsing 5-man defensive games that we've seen from the European countries.

I won't be getting much sleep on Saturday night, as it will be an early morning. :eek:

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Finland took a complete heaping dump on the US during the bronze medal game. It looked as though Team USA didn't really care about winning a medal at all if it wasn't gold.</font>

The deadliest matchup in Olympic Hockey is a Bronze Medal game vs Finland. I don't think that any other team can match the excitement that Finland has for the Bronze game, they always play their hearts out for the Bronze, and always win it.

Good thing I'm sleeping through the game, because I never have confidence in Team Canada if they don't win international hockey games the way I want them to win.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

They won shut the fuck up and be happy they won you little shithead.

1-0 is the perfect game of hockey.

[RaginRonic]

They won shut the fuck up and be happy they won you little shithead.

1-0 is the perfect game of hockey.

There's a show on TV. It's called 'Jeopardy!'

In the show, anyone wo leads, AND has more than 50% of the 2nd place player's total, heading into Final Jeopardy!, is considered to have a 'lock game'.

I would only watch an international game of hockey, with CAN in it, if they were up 15-0 after the 2nd Period.

I not only want CAN to win, I also want to see them win in 'lock game' scenarios, where their opposition cannot catch up.

Where their opposition were beaten like dogs.

It might be boring, and cause low TV ratings, but THAT would show that CAN would be doing something right.

So STD, up yours.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

You are not a true sports fan of Canada. You are a pussy.

[road doggy dogg]

what a beauty of a game. FUCK YEAH CANADA #1

[Bad News Gertner]

Anyone who watched these games and says the NHL needs bigger ice deserves a punch in the head. That Sweden vs Finland game was awful, same as 95% of the games. Too many dead zones on that big of a surface.

Nice pic. XB

[JimmyMess]

was that photoshopped?

[road doggy dogg]

i don't get it

[Shisen Kopf]

USA felt sorry for America's Hat and Finland (like that's a real country) so we lost on purpose as we win the most medals and hit the most golds. So who really cares. USA #1.

[RaginRonic]

i don't get it

A] JimmyMess, it is an edited picture of both Canada's womens and mens Olympic hockey teams celebrating the unified Olympic hockey title that we won. Women at left, men at right. If you are here in Canada, CTV did a pic like that for their 'Hockey Gold 2010' DVD and BluRay boxsets. The image is inlaid behind the plastic that holds the 5 discs in those sets.

B] Shisen Kopf, both of Canada's Olympic hockey teams went undefeated in Sochi. Canada's men won all 3 of their Group B games, winning 2 in regulation, and beating FIN in OT at the end of the round robin. CAN would then beat Latvia 2-1 in the quarterfinal, the USA 1-0 in the semi, and Sweden 3-0 in the mens gold medal game, going 6-0, a perfect run.

The women went 3-0 in Group A in their end of the tournament, and followed that up with a 3-1 win over Switzerland in the semi-final, and then beat the USA 3-2 in OT in the womens gold medal game, going 5-0, another perfect run.

All told, CAN went a combined 11-0 in Olympic hockey in Sochi. Undefeated. Undisputed.

Get it all now, guys? =P

[road doggy dogg]

Ahh okay, I didn't get the Photoshop reference. I fully understand that Canada is the best fucking country in the world at playing the sport of hockey, because fuck yeah Canada.
