Olympic Hockey 2014
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: TEAM CANADA MEN'S HOCKEY ROSTER Goaltenders Roberto Luongo 6'3" 217 04/04/79 Montreal, Que.

Kinda weak that they didnt take Marty and Giroux.

Also nuts that USA didnt take Ryan, Yandle, and Buff.
|
My Russians are going to stomp those over-rated Canadian bitches.

Canada sucks outside of North America. Their junior teams suck and their olympic teams suck when they travel.
|
This will be the year that changes that I think, speed is key for these guys this time!
|
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.
|
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

yeah they're pretty fucking good on paper.
|
How about them crazy Czechs taking Nedved, wtf?
|
petr nedved?
|
Lol yeah Petr Nedved. Where's Martin Straka lol
|
Team Canada:
http://cdn.agilitycms.com/hockey-can...nfograph-e.jpg They should have included USSR stats under Russia. Looks odd that there are only 2 results listed against them. |
Gonna be 1-2 vs my Russians
|
Shit Sweden is stacked too.
|
Kessel just outworked all of Slovakia for that 4-1 goal
|
Ronic who do you want to win?
|
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.
|
Can't wait to watch the trouncing in 2 hours. Hope the internet at work can handle the feed
|
I'm rooting for Toews, Sharpy and Keith, but I'd love to see Canada eat it today.
|
Boss
|
lol BBC showing luge instead of the Canada game
|
The line on Sportsbook for tomorrow's Canada/Austria game is Canada -17000 moneyline... that's a bit ridiculous lol
|
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. |
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. |
You just watch: Sweden is going to take it. They've got it all.

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. |
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.
|
Fucking Zetterberg. Goddamn it no redwings should be allowed in the Olympics.
|
Rooting 4 Sweden
Go Gabriel Landeskog, you beautiful blonde hockey playing angel! |
Break up Slovenia!
|
Let's go Russia!!!
|
Canada shouldn't lose.
|
Lol what a bunch of bull shit... unreal
Fucking USA deserved to lose |
My God what a Hockey Game.

<font color=goldenrod>Incredible game.</font>
|
Wow! A preview of the gold medal game. Canada vs Finland is a preview of the 8th place match.
|
:y: US 3-2 win over Russia today.
|
For fun, Phil Kessel will now wear a Slovania jersey
|
<font color=goldenrod>Onto the quarter finals!</font>
|
Kessel is wonderful
|
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. |
|
SWE/SLO, FIN/RUS, USA/SVK, CAN/SWI then SWE/RUS and USA/CAN.... CAN defeats SWE for Gold, RUS defeats USA for Bronze
|
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 |
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.
|
Norway skill level is like 0
|
I love Russia but that wasn't even fun to watch.
|
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....
|
some weird finishes today! Surprised big time at the Swiss/Lat game
|
good call on the Swiss, 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. |
the Swiss are the Percy Watson of international hockey
|
Not too sure what you're talking about.
|
You suck Russia
|
Russia #1, Iran #1, U.S.A patooie!
|
Ovechkin is overrated. He's definitely no Johnny Oduya
|
So bubye Russia.
|
You suck Canada
|
This Canada vs Latvia game is amazing
|
LMAO, Go Latvia
|
What a friggin great play by the dude on Latvia pulling that puck out of the goal. What a game!
|
Yup. That shit was sweet.
|
The Latvian goalie is having the greatest game of his life right now.
|
USA vs Canada in Hockey Wars
|
Such a shame. Rooting hard for Latvia.
|
USA Canada it is.

the best thing about these Olympics is learning that Sandis Ozolinsh is still alive and playing hockey.
|
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Canada #1
|
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.... SPOILER: show |
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 |
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.
|
That womens game was mint.
Go Canada go. |
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:
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pu...ierre_1612.jpg http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.co...rothers/23.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l1...mcandawcw4.jpg |
Duggan was the American captain
|
Canada dominated that first period. I feel like it should of been 2-0.
|
FU Canada!
|
:-\ US lost. Game was good though.
|
fuck yes
|
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: |
<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>

1-0 is the perfect game of hockey. |

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. |
