what the hell is skeleton anyway?

Luge on your belly instead of your back and head-first.

Brutal, two goals missed. They need to stop the game for commercial breaks.

i wondered how i missed those....

damn!

 

[SChan*]

That is it. Send him home. No reason to keep Henrik around if the team refuses to play defense. What a debacle. No reason to hurt the Rangers because the Swedes are clueless in their own zone, take bad penalties and give away more pucks than Santa Claus.

that's what happens when you have liek 8 regular D men injured or cant play.

[Panopticon]

did Lundqvist have no chance on those 2 goals? screened, deflected, or what?

He's just not that good...

Our Russians were playing with emotion. They were more determined, they were willing to take a hit to make a play, they were blocking shots, they were dishing hits out, they were battling and winning loose puck battles, they played with emotion, they were quick... the only thing they did not do is beating the crap out of Swedes (which is a good thing - I would not want any of them to be suspended). The crowd was behind them from start to finish. Russian fans were much more boisterous and louder than the Swedish fans. Also, the difference in goaltending between Nabokov and Bryzgalov was obvious.

Good game Russia.

 

[GuloGulo]

Congrats to Russia. Better in all aspects of the game. Capitalized on the chances.

Maybe Canada can't be so confident then after all?

Very well deserved Russian win. Hopefully something good will come from this loss.

 

[Big Mama*]

Congrats to Russia, they look like a very good skating team. A tough competitor.

what the hell is skeleton anyway?

A guy going with the head first in 170 km/h (think so) down a icy hill. Stupid.

Congrats to Russia for a fine game

Sweden whoops Canada 5-2 first game SLC Olympics, Canada goes on to win gold.

Russia whoops Sweden 5-0 in second game of the Torino Olympics...

Be glad it was at an early juncture of the tournament. It may just be the wake up call Sweden needs.

Какая боль, какая боль: Россия-Швеция 5:0

 

[RangersFan88*]

*** it was 4-1 now 4-3 latvia is surprising me again

 

[Borlag]

Great game by Russia, if this is how they'll play, meaning as a team, then they're definitely a team capable of going all the way

 

[Namso]

Organized suicide.

 

[TheDamned]

Good job Russia, you guys have a great Captain

hopefully you're right, but a loss like this hurts in this nation

Zetterberg: We didn't have the speed...

Not strange since all russian forwards, except maybe Yashin, is better skaters than the whole swedish team.

Well, congrats Russia.

 

[Berkut]

Great win for Russia!
I want to congratulate all team Russia fans, and also thank the sweeds fans for always beeing classy (well most of the times )

Good luck against SVK!
