hopeleslyobvious Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 I'm upset minded today... my picks Switzerland 2, Sweden 1 USA 3, Finland 2 Russia 4, Canada 2 Slovakia 5, Czech Rep 3 Interesting picks...You are definately upset minded. I think Sweeden will beat the Swiss, and Finland will beat the U.S. I agree with your other two. Should be an interesting day...and I forgot to set my Tivo!
PTS Posted February 22, 2006 Author Report Posted February 22, 2006 What time does the US play? SUI-SWE - 10:30 am USA-FIN - 11:30 am CAN-RUS - 2:30pm SLV-CZE - 3:30pm Can I take my SUI-SWE prediction back?
hopeleslyobvious Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 For those of us not near a TV can you give us updates?
PTS Posted February 22, 2006 Author Report Posted February 22, 2006 For those of us not near a TV can you give us updates? Sweden 1, Switzerland 1: It looked like Sweden was going to run away but the Suiss regrouped, tied the game and took the play to Sweden. We're 13 minutes into the first.

mphs mike Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 Of course if Finland wins there is a really good chance that 2 Sabres bring a medal home. I wouldn't mind seeing Finland get the gold. Can't cheer against the US, but I don't see an upset - unless you are talking about a 2d goal for Teppo - in the cards. On a side note, as much as Aebischer has played for the Swiss it will be interesting to watch his performance for the Rockies the rest of the year. It should add to the "play/rest" debate we periodically pick up for the Miller snub.
PromoTheRobot Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 2-0 Finns, on a short-handed goal no less! Way to go, Waddell. Nice team you put together. Maybe next time we can get an orange traffic cone to play goal. Knueble (sic?) just scored. 2-1 Finns PTR
hopeleslyobvious Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 Wow, 2-0 already!!! Can someone who is watching comment on the goaltending for the US?
PromoTheRobot Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 Wow, 2-0 already!!! Can someone who is watching comment on the goaltending for the US? DiPietro is getting peppered, but the goals he let in were soft. I guess it could be 5-1. PTR
PromoTheRobot Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 Did I just see Mika Norenen walk down the tunnel for the Finns? Is he the backup on the Finnish Team? I didn't know that. At least he's having some fun and may get a medal. PTR
hopeleslyobvious Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 Doesn't look like he's on the roster. Maybe it was Norrena? http://www.tsn.ca/olympics/feature/?fid=1704&hubname=
Strow Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 Anyone have a link to an audio feed or a better site that provides updates? If not just keep giving updates on the board so I can check while at work please.
Eleven Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 Sweden 1, Switzerland 1: It looked like Sweden was going to run away but the Suiss regrouped, tied the game and took the play to Sweden. We're 13 minutes into the first. For realtime results... click here I think the Swedes are running away now--I just heard 5-1 in the second while listening to the USA game on GR. Tied at 2!
hopeleslyobvious Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 Today would be a good day for DiPietro to prove to me that he can be consistent!
PTS Posted February 22, 2006 Author Report Posted February 22, 2006 I don't care what anyone thinks. Rick DiPietro is #%^$#!. He's horrible and he's the reason along with the coaching and GM why this team will not win any medal. 3-2 Finland
PromoTheRobot Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 I don't care what anyone thinks. Rick DiPietro is #%^$#!. He's horrible and he's the reason along with the coaching and GM why this team will not win any medal. 3-2 Finland DiPietro was brilliant fighting off a 5-on-3 Finnish power play, then lets goal #3 slip through his armpit. Very frustrating. Also, the fact that Team USA couldn't put the puck in the ocean from the deck of the Queen Mary isn't helping. PTR
GGM Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 This team is clearly too stupid to win anything: 4-2 Finland on a(nother) 5-3.
PromoTheRobot Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 At least Chris Drury will get some extra time to rest. I'm just hoping none of the Sabres get hurt the rest of the way. The bodies are flying. PTR
PromoTheRobot Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 DiPietro sucks again. 5-3 Finns You mean 4-2 on the 5-on-3...and that last one wasn't his fault. It's a freakin' 5-on-3! PTR
GGM Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 The prolonged silence in this thread speaks volumes. What can one say about this mess?
PTS Posted February 22, 2006 Author Report Posted February 22, 2006 You mean 4-2 on the 5-on-3...and that last one wasn't his fault. It's a freakin' 5-on-3! PTR He sucks. Period. He can't control his rebounds and that's a problem.
PromoTheRobot Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 The prolonged silence in this thread speaks volumes. What can one say about this mess? It's not a mess...Team USA is playing it's a$$ off. It's just they can't seem to score. Just a secnd ago, Teppo hauled down Drury on a breakway. No penealty shot, but 2 minutes for hooking. They couldn't score. PTR
