OT: 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics Thread

[Garo]

I struggle to remember a worse period of hockey I've seen. This has been going from puzzling to full on incomprehensible.

 

[Rapala]

She won't play the kids.

 

[Skip Bayless]

It's only a matter of time

 

[Bloumeister]

Maybe add some speed next Olympics. They look completely outmatched with more space on the big ice.

I was thinking the same thing initially, but I've been truing to analyze the rushes from both teams, I it looks like the US team plays a more hermetic, 'wait-for-them' defence, while the Canadians leave more room for the US skaters to come in. They play too deep in their zone.

Look at that last shift. See how much space the US D had at the Canadian blue line? The Canadian 'box' is way too tight, and too close to the goalie.

 

[Rapala]

Time out.

 

[le_sean]

Wow. Maybe they will get a shot on goal.

 

[habtastic]

Get ready to watch a Habs pp

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Finally an interference call.

 

[groovejuice]

Looks like a Julien OT. Defense, defense, defense...

 

[Pickles]

PP!

 

[void]

Szabados has been unreal. Rest of the team looked like they had cement in their skates..

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Gotta end it here.

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

Looks like a Julien OT. Defense, defense, defense...

There is a lot of O-zone, its just that they can't shoot with velocity.

 

[DubDub]

This is it... goal on the pp?

 

[Bloumeister]

I wonder if there's a smell of mothballs in the Radio-Canada booth. Haven't heard Jean St-Onge since... forever, I guess.

 

[Redux91]

omg what a break!! what an effort by poulin!

 

[Bloumeister]

Man, those Canadian line changes are hard.

 

[Pickles]

Sucks that a gold medal game is decided on a shootout

 

[Bloumeister]

Weak-ass 4-on-3.

 

[habtastic]

Yep, that was awful

 

[le_sean]

It’s honestly an injustice if Canada wins. This is the worst period of hockey I’ve ever seen.

At least it’s up to Szabados. The only one you can trust with Poulin.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Wow... can't believe we couldn't put it away. Damn.

 

[Rosso Scuderia]

That was a pathetic showing in OT. Even on the PP they looked nervous as f***.

 

[Rockomax]

Lol terrible passes and shots on the PP. Number 4 going full Alzner at the beginning of the PP.

It's brutal! Should stay 4v4 , they really should look at changing this.
