JujuFish Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 Nabokov is not playing well tonight, regardless of the effort of the team in front of him.
wjag Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 Okay Rickshaw I concede, Canada is warmed up. They embarassed the Russians in that first period. Makes the Miller effort all the more meaningful.
theend Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 If we needed any confirmation that Miller is the best goalie in the league...he stood up to the Canadian rush...Nabokov isn't...
wjag Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 I hope the Russians can get a few more before Canada gets any more. I want this to be a close game.. If it's a blow out either way, I'm going to be highly disappointed.
wjag Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 The intermissions on 'the networks of NBC' are ALL COMMERCIALS.

Eleven Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 The intermissions on 'the networks of NBC' are ALL COMMERCIALS. Not too different on CTV. EDIT: Game isn't on NBC in Buffalo at all, actually.

Eleven Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 ...wow...if it weren't for former Sabres, this would be an out-and-out embarrassment right now... Despite former Sabres, this is an out-and-out embarrassment right now. Wow.
SouthernSabre Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 Despite former Sabres, this is an out-and-out embarrassment right now. Wow. Anyone with a working internet cast of this game?
BuffalOhio Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 I fear the US has awakened a sleeping giant..... Holy cow, 7-2 so far.
K-9 Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 Looks like losing to us was the best thing to happen to Canada. They got their sh*t together real quick. Not bad considering they played last night (OK, Germany was like a night off) but the Russians were rested and they are being embarrassed.
darksabre Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 Well this is disappointing. I was hoping for GOOD hockey today. USA v. Switzerland was boring, this is a blowout. Bleh.

I didn't know the Russians were going to lay down.
LabattBlue Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 I just walked in the door. 7-3? Are you kidding me. Nice effort by the Big Red Machine. <_< Now I don't feel so bad about the loser of this game not getting a medal.
theend Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 Anyone with a working internet cast of this game? I'm watching through nbcolympics.com - you have to put who your provider is (Cable, Satellite, etc, and enter a username/password), but it's working fine and free for me...and pretty high quality, too.

Yeah, really...for all those in the media who said this should've been the gold medal game, I'm glad it isn't.
Guest Sloth Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 I fear the US has awakened a sleeping giant..... Holy cow, 7-2 so far. I agree, but disagree with that idea. Yeah, this team is loaded with a number of NHL first liners/superstars. So Team USA could have "awoken a sleeping giant." But here's another thought. Canada's team chemistry at the beginning of the Olympics didn't appear to be at the level it is now. Didn't they start out slow in 2002? Another reason Russia is getting their butt kicked tonight is Canada simply wants it more. As soon as the puck was dropped Canada was going after it and Russia was not. Reminds me of the game between the U.S. and Canada. Team USA did whatever it took to beat the Canadians. Canada is doing that with Russia tonight. As a side note, I was exctited about this game. I thought it was going to be a great one to watch. I am shocked, and really disappointed. Even though Germany got beat 8-2, they played much better than Russia has tonight. What a puckin' joke.
korab rules Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 Euro trash? Are you kidding me! NBC may be looking for a new hockey commentator! Roenick's face was priceless!
CallawaySabres Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 Well that Canada Russia game might have been the biggest let down of a sporting event I have ever witnessed. I was REALLY thinking this could be the match of the century and it turned into a total dud. Never Have I built up an event so much only to be totally wrong about it. Oh well, time to direct that emotion towards the US again and start a little happy hour at 3pm on Friday.

korab rules Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 I thought it was great! No doubt it was funny, but a potential career killer! Just ask Kornheiser and Jimmy the Greek!
