Corp000085 Posted February 18, 2006 Report Posted February 18, 2006 I see there's a few members lurking right now... If you want to discuss the game, here ya go. Right now its the beginning of the 2nd period, and the swiss are up 1-0. I just turned the game on so i can't comment on the first period.
Corp000085 Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Posted February 18, 2006 canada looks like it doesn't have anything. They're also playing dirty. There's a lot of game to go, but this would be quite an upset.
Corp000085 Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Posted February 18, 2006 god i hate pat quinn... I'd also really hate pat quinn if he drank my stash of beer, which i wouldn't put past him. SCOOOORES by the way. swiss take a 2-0 lead on a 5 on 3 power play.

Corp000085 Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Posted February 18, 2006 I'm at work. Is there somewhere I can get the audio streaming? here's a live updating boxscore. That's the best i can do http://www.nbcolympics.com/results/1501469/detail.html It looks like canada scored on the swiss. Gerber caught the puck with his catching glove and it looked like it went behind the crossbar, but it was very close. They're still reviewing the goal as of right now. Damn, this is a long review. It's been going on for almost 5 minutes. I'll just keep this thread open till there's a call. Ok, 2 minutes later and they're going to a friggin commercial break. Great Job NBC!!! Another stellar olympic TV coverage decision. OK, back from 1/2 of 1 commercial. No goal. That my friends was the ultimate screwjob. The puck was clearly in gerber's glove, and gerber's glove was definitely in the net. I guess it wasn't "conclusive". I can't stand team canada, however, i feel for them. they got absolutely robbed. still 2-0 By the way, this thread took 9 minutes to complete.
PTS Posted February 18, 2006 Report Posted February 18, 2006 Team USA should take notice and see what happens when you have a goalie that can steal a game and pump his teammates up. Too bad that goalie for Team USA is somewhere in Michigan right now.

Too bad that goalie for Team USA is somewhere in Michigan right now. While i'm as bitter as you about miller getting screwed, i believe that this will be the single best thing that will happen to the sabres between now and 16W (if you know what i'm talking about)
PTS Posted February 18, 2006 Report Posted February 18, 2006 Wow, I'm shocked how good some of these Swiss players are. They're all poor-man versions of Daniel Briere- like players. Most of them are flat out skating the Canadians. Some of these guys might land an NHL job before this season is over. Then again the Swiss Hockey League is pays very well.
Corp000085 Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Posted February 18, 2006 Yes. They are really outplaying canada. This is a classic case of david vs. goliath. That and gerber is playing the game of his life.
PTS Posted February 18, 2006 Report Posted February 18, 2006 It's hysterical watching CBC crying about the officiating. You are freaking Canada, self-proclaimed Gold Medalist. You should be winning no matter what.
Corp000085 Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Posted February 18, 2006 I was just going to post that i wish i were watching CBC right now. Oh geez, iginla is now taking a penalty. 4-on-4 for the rest of regulation Directv really needs to pick up cbc
Corp000085 Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Posted February 18, 2006 yes, now i am officially scared of playing the canes and gerber in the playoffs.
BetweenThePipes00 Posted February 18, 2006 Report Posted February 18, 2006 This game just shows how good NHL goalies are ... even with all the PPs, bigger surface, you name it, if a guy gets hot he can pitch a shutout ... (the goal that should have counted notwithstanding) ... 22-1 shots in the THIRD PERIOD in this game as I type this ... Canada is NOT playing poorly.
Corp000085 Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Posted February 18, 2006 GAME OVER! 2-0 Switzerland over Canada. 26 saves by martin gerber in the 3rd period alone. Poor gretzky
DR HOLLIDAY Posted February 18, 2006 Report Posted February 18, 2006 Some bad calls in the game, but Pat Quinn sucks............TO much Bertuzzi and not enough Heatley...........Losing at this stage in the tournament might actually be a good thing.........Gretzky should kick Quinns huge butt off the bench and take over............ B-)
hopeleslyobvious Posted February 18, 2006 Report Posted February 18, 2006 My favorite part of the game was when Bertuzzi took a dumb penalty on the PP. Nice job showing everyone how disciplined you are...I can see why they named him to the team over other more deserving players!
Eleven Posted February 18, 2006 Report Posted February 18, 2006 Smug mfs got what was coming to them, in that game.
Corp000085 Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Posted February 18, 2006 Smug mfs got what was coming to them, in that game. maybe they can play USA for the bronze medal. "The Cocky Cup Championship"
Eleven Posted February 18, 2006 Report Posted February 18, 2006 maybe they can play USA for the bronze medal. "The Cocky Cup Championship" I don't think this year's USA squad is overconfident, nor are we as fans--I don't know too many who expect the USA to medal, and although the team members would never say so, I'll bet they're not feeling assured of a medal either.
