2014 Winter Olympic Hockey

[darksabre]

All right, let's go Letts!

 

I remember last Olympics the Latvian goalie played out of his mind. Let's see if they can get the same performances this year.

 

I have a feeling this is going to be bad.

 

Sandis f*cking Ozolinsh.

It's only Switzerland. Latvia can win this.

Latvias jerseys are nice, though the fake lace on the neck is still dumb :doh:

SWE 2 CZE 0 with 6:43 remaining in the 1st.

[dEnnis the Menace]

Latvians looking pretty good defensively. Now if only they could generate some more offense. I've only seen Girgensons in the D-zone, but he's seemingly doing well.

[dEnnis the Menace]

Why is NBC telling me that Coverage has concluded for this game?! WTF?

 

Nevermind - just came back

 

EDIT: I no longer have commentary

You gents have your thread for attractive women in hockey, I have men's Team Sweden.

 

Third period starting!

 

AND ZETTERBERG SCOOOOORES 3-0 Sweden :D

[LGR4GM]

Zemgus Girgensons doing well for Latvia. Has had a couple of moments where he was behind the play but has made some great smart plays and just drew a penalty. Gus is going to be really good someday.

Stuck on a "coverage will begin momentarily" loop.

Switzerland is 8-1 to win the group

 

Latvia is 150-1

 

The group of 4....not gold!

[josie]

4-0 Sweden.....

[LGR4GM]

Gus looks like he is playing C for Nolan. Didn't get any PP ice time this last go around. Has been very calm on the puck. His battle has helped him a lot thus far. He just refuses to quit and it has been a resulting in some good chances for some teammates.

[josie]

No longer a shutout for the Czechs- Zidlicky beats Lundqvist for a 3-1 score.

Sweden is 1-2 and Czech, 5-2. No appreciable difference between 8-1 and 100-1 (which is what I've seen) when Sweden and Czech are involved.

 

And it doesn't matter; Latvia can win this game. The other two games? No.

Did someone take a goal away from the Swedes?

Derp.

 

That be the lack of sleep typin', thar. The BBC color guy just referred to the puck as a "dead quail" and earned a wtf response from the other commentator... It's been an odd time.

 

Aaaand Jagr makes it 4-2.... He's been quite the strength of the Czech team, all scoring considered.

So glad I don't have classes on Thursdays...got the alarm set already and I definitely hope we have a live GDT here. In fact, we should all make a point to keep ANY game-related posts in that thread exclusively for those on delay - the rest of the board should ideally be a spoiler-free zone, IMO.

Latvia was 6-1 to win this game...in real time they are still 4-1 even with a tie going into the 3rd....

Yeah. Winnable. Tell me what their odds are next game!

[sabre snipe]

wow girgensons a monster…almost had it!

Girgensons and Hodgson for Stamkos......

Should have taken that backhand. Instead, he fed Ozolins.

[skaught]

Oh man, that was nice, too bad it was off the post.

[sabre snipe]

Agreed, still a nifty pass though. Robbed by the post. I like that he crushed the guy into the boards still after the miss

[Eleven]

Now, at the blue line, again he passed when he should have kept it. Hey, Z, you're the only NHL player on the team. You've got to LEAD, buddy!

[chileanseabass]

Anyone know where to get a Latvia jersey? I wouldn't mind getting a Girgensons.
