2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics Thread

[Fresno St. Alum]

On the bottom of the screen of the taped game it said my local NBC 24 will show the game live at noon on Fri. They must have got a bunch of calls from pissed off people here. We have a minor league hockey team in Fresno that is good every year.

1-0 Canada just 2:21 into the game. That joint is rocking.

[clenz]

Russia is fucked in this game. Canada is pissed...I want to see Canada get upset at some point before the gold medal round. Hell, no medal for them would make me giddy as a school girl


Russia is just sloppy as heck. 75 foot passes against flow, among other things

[93henfan]

3-0 Canada already in the 1st. Looks like Canada has responded to the wake-up call from the USA. Teams appear to be on a crash course for a rematch.

Russians choke under pressure, as usual.

[clenz]

Goal Russia...over five minutes left in the first yet

[93henfan]

The ruskies are on the board. 3-1.

[clenz]

Is that a RUSKIES SUCK cheer I'm hearing?

Let's just hope it's in the gold medal game. The winner of this game will have a tough time with Sweden, especially if they have any let down after this game.

goal canada

[93henfan]

5-1. Bye, bye Russia.

[clenz]

WTF was he doing out of the crease that fucking far?

[93henfan]

WTF was he doing out of the crease that fucking far?

Well, they finally yanked him at 6-1.

[93henfan]

This game has become farcical with nine goals scored before the halfway point.

[clenz]

make it 10 goals...

7-3

[clenz]

5 of the first 11 shots went for a goal in the second period

[93henfan]

The Canadians are back. C'mon Sweden and knock them puppies out.

[93henfan]

USA picks up two more medals. Women's 3K short track speed skating relay team takes bronze and the USA2 women's bobsled knocks the Germany1 team down to fourth and steals a bronze.

The poor Koreans got jobbed out of the gold in the women's 3K. They were DQ'ed for a bump that was pretty weak IMHO. Oh well, two Korean screw-ups have led to a silver and two bronze for the USA.

lates projections from 538. These were before todays events.

The Czech's and Fin's are scoreless midway through 3rd period. The winner plays the US on Friday.

[BlueHen86]

Fin's score with under 7 minutes left to lead 1-0. A Czech player losses his helmet, Fin's score as he retrieves it (which he must do by rule).

[BlueHen86]

The US will play Finland in men's hockey on Friday, Finland beats the Czech's 2-0.

If you watched you probably saw the end of Jaromir Jagr's career. He played tonight, but was not a factor in the game.

[BlueHen86]

After a scoreless first period, Slovakia has scored twice in the second period and now leads Sweden 2-0 with 6 minutes left in the second period.

[BlueHen86]

So much for that lead... Sweden scored twice in 37 seconds and has tied Slovakia at 2-2 with 3:31 remaining in the second period.

[BlueHen86]

Slovakia scores again and leads 3-2 after 2 periods.

[bench]

Goals on consecutive shots make it 4-3. Slovaks go up two, Sweden with the immediate answer.
