Post-Game Talk: 2018 Winter Olympics - PyeongChang, South Korea February 9-25

The 1440 was nuts, he gets so much more air then everyone else.

What was even more nuts was that he did back-to-back 1440s. The tweet is correct. Shaun White is not human.

 

[gvkmedia]

That's it - Donato sucks. No way can he play for the Bruins with blown coverage like that.

 

[JoeIsAStud]

What an awful loss

 

[Alicat]

Only being together 6 practices caught up with them

Slovenia definitely looked like they have played together for a while

They grew up together, players pool is tiny here.

That they did.

The analysts are right. USA needs to put this game behind them and get ready for Slovakia.

Canada men are on tomorrow at 7:10 am and they haven't been together long either..

 

[Alicat]

They grew up together, players pool is tiny here.

They definitely poured it on when it mattered.

Was a good game until the 3rd

Slovakia over OAR, this is anybody's tourney

Slovakia won’t be a pushover either. Two upsets already, love it.

I am still trying to decide if this was an upset or not. Brian f***ing Gionta doesn't give me warm fuzzy feelings.

Slovenia has 1,000 registered hockey players. God knows how many there were when these guys started out. USA has around 500,000. I’d say it’s an upset

Kopitar-less Slovenia beating anyone is an upset.

 

[Mount Kramer Cameras]

Tough ending for Donato. He was desperate to atone for losing the puck in OT and had a rush of blood to the head. Even then, he was only an inch away from intercepting the pass across the crease for the winner.

Overall, it was a very positive game for him though. He was a big part of arguably the best line on the ice. First choice for 3v3. PP time.

The irony of him blowing coverage in OT is that his IQ had been terrific throughout the game. He looks like he just gets it. He reminded me of Heinen a little bit, in this respect - his stick is very active, and he's really good at using his hands and body to protect the puck.

Lots more hockey still to play!

Anyone else love the fact that so many teams are in the mix in this version of Olympic hockey?

This to me is far more interesting than the vaunted "best on best" predictable tournaments of the years past.

Too bad it comes on so early in the morning. With my schedule I wont' get to see much of it at all.

So by that rational, the US never winning a World cup in soccer is the ultimate upset!

Not quite the same thing, but one factor on the way

(For one, Germany has more players, for another, the U.S. would need 300m+ soccer players for the ratio to be comparable )

My opinion is exactly the opposite of yours.

Only about 150 of those are adults, other are youngsters.

Cool, that’s the figure I was looking for. Can’t have been many around at all when those adults started out.

 

[Fenway]

Slovenia erases two-goal deficit, defeats United States in OT

I wish for speed skating and downhill theyd say how fast they were going.
MPH . None of that metric shit either.

1 MPH = 1.6 KPM~

I aint doing any math unless Im getting $80 an hour to do it.

Give me half and I'll do the math for you. Out sourcing
