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

[Crede777]

With seven minute left, I said it would be a minor miracle if the Canadian women scored two goals before the end of regulation.

Look what you've done!

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Yikes that's a pretty narly chokejob right there.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Look what you've done!

I posted that before the OT started. It got worse.

 

[Mayor Bee]

Do you believe in minor miracles?

A minor miracle would be not seeing this in next week's Portzline chat:

"Oilers assistant GM Scott Howson could have hired former CBJ player and current gold medal winner Kevin Dineen, but..."

 

[Robert]

I'm not sure I believe the USA women hockey collapse today, a total meltdown...

Perhaps they will get a guy as Kevin Dineen coaching the USA women next time...

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Wow @ hockey.

 

[MFRONE]

The US forwards aren't making any effort to play defense.

 

[Samkow]

Duncan Keith is pulling a reverse Rick Nash. He's been terrible all tournament and you can tell USA is trying to get favorable match-ups against him.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Lotta injuries piling up, if what I've read is correct, this will be helping the Jackets once the NHL gets back:

Zetterberg back surgery-8 weeks
Zuccarello broken hand-month
Paul Martin broken hand-month
Taveras knee-out for year.

 

[The Jones Zone]

Bigger Ice Surface

Like it Love it Hate It

 

[MFRONE]

Pavelski just stood there and let Doughty skate right to the net.

The forwards have no idea how to play defense

 

[MFRONE]

Zetterberg suffered his injury before the Olympics

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Zetterberg suffered his injury before the Olympics

and he's having surgery because he aggravated there.

 

[MFRONE]

Jackets have a better PP then the US

 

[JacketFanInFL]

US may want to find some good offense from the defense next olympics (Hint: Wiz can do it)

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

If only there were a defenseman with a reputation as a scoring blueliner who had a significant history with USA hockey.

Or Keith Yandel

 

[Samkow]

Pretty disappointed that as the game went on, the US got worse. That game could easily have been 5-0 if not for Quick.

How they couldn't get it into a higher gear is beyond me.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Never "figured it out." Disappointing.

Finland plays very organized D. Gonna have to figure something out.

 

[MFRONE]

Never seen a team so poor in the offensive zone. Norway didn't look that bad.

 

[jackets4life]

Canada's defense won that game. Our offense looked like amateurs (getting into the true Olympic spirit, I suppose). Sucks.

 

[MFRONE]

Parise and Kane have looked outclassed every game so far, it's amazing they got this far with nothing from them.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Big ice blows. NZ Trap hockey at its best.

Kiwis aren't even in this tournament.

Brian Rafalski?
