GDT: 2014 Winter Olympics Part IV, POTENTIAL SPOILERS

[TCL40]

Finns score!!!

Nice play there to SelAnne.

 

[Fossy21]

Salami!

 

[BigGoalBrad]

2-1 shut the door Tuukka!!!

 

[Terrier]

Selanne!! 2-1 SUOMI!!

 

[EverettMike]

The arena seems crazy tense. Anytime the Fins move into the Russian zone it sounds like everyone is holding their breath, and when the Russians enter the offensive zone they start to lose their mind.

Crazy atmosphere.

 

[Alicat]

Tuukka is in the zone thus far

 

[TCL40]

And if a Russian falls they scream for penalties-it's almost like playing in Montreal.

 

[Terrier]

Wow that arena looks empty

I believe each hockey venue has a large bank of media tables on one side.


By the way, raise your hand if you've watched hockey, curling and little else. For me, each day has been live hockey at work and curling on CNBC when I get home at 5:30 or so. The prime time on regular NBC with Bob Costas et al may as well not exist.

Crazy atmosphere.

Reminds me of when I went a Bruins vs Habs game at Bell Centre, everytime the habs touched the puck it got so loud is was crazy. Also if a Russian falls everyone immediately screams for a penalty, so that is similar as well, lol.

 

[TCL40]

That was close-good thing he lost the puck.

 

[Shaun]

even though there would only be two more games I hope finland loses today and tuukka escapes without injury.

 

[EverettMike]

If Ovechkin doesn't score and Russia loses I am calling him GOATvechkin. Just a heads up.

If he scores I will give him credit for scoring a big goal in a big game though.

 

[EverettMike]

even though there would only be two more games I hope finland loses today and tuukka escapes without injury.

I think that is the right attitude for everyone else, but not Rask. I think playing well and winning big important games will only help.

Probably also true for Loui.

And if a Russian falls they scream for penalties-it's almost like playing in Montreal.

Or listening to Jack Edwards

 

[Fossy21]

And if a Russian falls they scream for penalties-it's almost like playing in Montreal.

Except they go "Razzia!1!!1!OnE!" instead of "Olé!!!"

 

[EverettMike]

Ovie has to bury that. Has to.

 

[EverettMike]

I give that Fin a 7.2 for the dive.

 

[Fossy21]

**** you, Yemelin.

 

[EverettMike]

Holy **** Eddie just made a great point.

 

[Fossy21]

I give that Fin a 7.2 for the dive.

I give him a 10. Without the dive, Yemelin doesn't get the stick in his face.

 

[EverettMike]

Russia down 3-1 at home, in the Olympics.

Russian typical.

 

[TCL40]

Finns score again.

If the Russians lose they whole team may get an all expense vacation to Siberia.

 

[Fossy21]

Russia down 3-1 at home, in the Olympics.

Russian typical.

Watch them score a fluke goal, gain momentum and win 7-4 or something.

 

[EverettMike]

The Russians are losing their cool!

 

[TCL40]

I give him a 10. Without the dive, Yemelin doesn't get the stick in his face.

With that kind of diving the big ice really does seem to be soccer on ice.
