Olympic Hockey Game Discussion Threads

Someone asked if Ruff might try to give Canada the "book" on Miller.

 

FWIW:

 

Ruff is one of Canada's assistant coaches, and before the game he helped his team prepare to face Miller.

 

"Whatever I said, it obviously didn't help," Ruff said, laughing.

I think he meant he had no idea the Sabres' goalie was American. And no, that wasn't me in the 7-11.

 

He didn't even know the Sabres existed. There's problem #1.

Come on Hiller, stop blocking them all.

[JujuFish]

Hmmm, maybe I should command opposing goalies more often.

[JujuFish]

Damn, no goal. Okay Hiller, I'm revising my statement. Stop blocking them all during play.

unbelievable :wallbash:

If they weren't playing the USA, I'd be rooting for the Swiss. What a gutsy team. I wonder if any of their guys will earn a look from NHL teams after this performance?

Score!!!!!! Rafalski or Parise?

[JujuFish]

That's more like it, Hiller. Let me see some more of that.

[Figster]

SCORE!!!!

[Mbossy]

Wow. Their goal waived off, then we score, waived off, penalty called, under review.

 

No goals

[JujuFish]

I don't agree with that interference call. That contact happens all the time.

[Chief Enabler]

Has this USA roster grown on you? Maybe it has just hit me, but it is a beautiful thing when a plan comes together :thumbsup:

[NobesBLO13]

I don't agree with that interference call. That contact happens all the time.

Yeah that was a softy call. There's suppose to be physical play in front of the net.

[Chief Enabler]

Score!!!!!! Rafalski or Parise?

Both are turning into american heroes of hockey. I had no idea Parise was this good.

[JujuFish]

Yes! 2-0! Game over!

[Figster]

Score Parise!!!

 

Good game for Miller and Drury :thumbsup:

[PromoTheRobot]

Hate to see the Swiss eliminated. Great team.

Great game for Miller and Parise. USA really took it to the Swiss in the 3rd. Hats off to them though, they played a great game.

GO RUSSIA!

[carpandean]

The US better beat the Finland-Czech winner, because either way, they will probably* be playing one of the big three (Russia, Sweden and Canada) in their last game. At least, if it's the gold-medal game, the worst they can do it the silver medal.

 

 

 

 

 

* Edit: sorry Slovaks, I counted you out a little early.

I've got that 1980's feeling... can't help myself..

 

The only difference is the big bad Russians of 1980 are the big bad Canadians of 2010..

 

 

That was the most selfless game I've seen in some time. Americans sacrificing their bodies on seemingly every shot.

[BuffalOhio]

;)

LOL. Thats funny.

 

Interesting, makes me wonder how watched these Olympics really are here in US. For me and my circle we talk about it a bit every day but for the majority and people like PA I wonder if they can even spell Olympics'.

 

alert for grammer n#a#z#i#'s: extra apostrophes on purpose because I can feel the love from your thought's, to your keyboards', all just for me...

GO RUSSIA!

I can't stand the thought of any team with Syndey Crosby being successful.

The Russians are getting to their butts handed to them...3-0 in the 1st...
