2014 Olympics Thread (2/12-2/23)

[Monk]

I'm rooting for the USA in this game, but the second somebody like Backes or Oshie scores on Bob, it's going to get interesting.

 

[Samkow]

Quick looks phenomenal.

 

[Samkow]

Brown needs to realize he can't play this dirty outside of the NHL.

Edit: Thanks Brown

 

[eljefe72]

Not surprisingly, a lot of "missed calls" against the Russians.

 

[MFRONE]

Brown with the dirty knee-to-knee hit. That's why I made my previous statement.

 

[bizzz*]

Quick looks phenomenal.

jinx

 

[Samkow]

Bittersweet goal there.

 

[bizzz*]

I was conflicted prior to the game, but as soon as I saw the Jackets guys in white and bunch of a**holes in blue I'm all for RU.
Toots?!!!

 

[eljefe72]

Very conflicted right now.

 

[Samkow]

What?!?!?

 

[eljefe72]

Whaaat? Must be high stick

 

[bizzz*]

Quick moves the net and goal is disallowed.

 

[eljefe72]

Good explanation by NBC Sports. HUGE break for the US.

 

[bizzz*]

Now every time when opposition team enters your zone you can just kick the net off its moorings.

Yeah, you would think that would be a penalty on the US goalie.

 

[bizzz*]

Medvedev was a reason for the 1st US goal when he couldn't clear the zone and now this stupid penalty. Him and Radulov are the reason this game is tied.

 

[eljefe72]

Great game so far.

Bobrovski looking good.

 

[Samkow]

Yeah, you would think that would be a penalty on the US goalie.

If it was intentional, sure. That wasn't.

 

[bizzz*]

Datsyuk is fantastic player.

 

[MFRONE]

US doesn't want a SO against Bob

 

[bizzz*]

If it was intentional, sure. That wasn't.

Seriously? You can read Quick's mind? You can kick the net off like that every time and make it look unintentional.

 

[eljefe72]

If it was intentional, sure. That wasn't.

A lot of penalties are not intentional (e.g., delay of game, too many men on the ice, high sticking) but are called none the less.

At the very least, the play should have been stopped before it even got to the point where a goal was disallowed. There were several seconds from when it was dislodged to when Tyutin scored the goal.

 

[Samkow]

You can read Quick's mind?

Can you?

It didn't look intentional. That happens 3-4 times every NHL game. The goal should have counted (it's a rule issue) but to say that Quick intentionally moved it off is a stretch.

 

[eljefe72]

Bobrovski meditating before the shootout.

 

[eljefe72]

I hope Bob stuffs Oshie.

EDIT: meh
