Olympic Hockey Thread Part II

Kane has been underwhelming. Always trying to cut into the zone but no trailers or help -_-

Well it's not like he can use Brown

 

[Raspewtin]

Ugh Backes.

 

[highandwide]

I know, just disappointed, he's so explosive. It's a waste

 

[Raspewtin]

This compete level is serious garbage.

 

[Raspewtin]

Phil with the hattrick after Wheeler's lines amazing shift!!

 

[DoTheBlue]

That was a good shift.

 

[Cmox]

Mac!!!!

 

[DoTheBlue]

Rolling now. MacTruck!

 

[Raspewtin]

MacTruck!!!! What a shift by Wheeler!

 

[RangersFan]

Mac truck!!!

 

[justanomade]

That was one hell of a shift by the US of A!

Kessler with a hatty. I`m having trouble seeing how anyone can beat this side.

 

[The Gloaming]

McDonagh gets a goal!

 

[Raspewtin]

Russia and Slovakia are still scoreless. Wow.

I think three, maybe four or five team have a decent chance - Canada, Russia and Sweden, with maybe Finland and Switzerland on a very good day. Yesterdays game against Russia was decided in a shootout, and to be fair is that the only game until now where the Americans have met a challenge. For the top teams the tournament doesn't really start before the knockout stages.

True, I think the lines need a couple of tweaks to complement Kane and Parise better. Kane's puck skill is just off the charts though, holy. I keep the Pavelski and Stasny lines together and do this:

Parise-kesler-kane
Wheeler-Backes-Callahan

I sit Brown.

One NHLer and 20 overmatched guys just happy to be there shooting on Ryan Miller? Welcome to every Buffalo Sabres practice

I lol'ed.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

McDonagh gets a goal!

Well deserved and I'm diggin the praise he's getting from other teams fans. Now they know what we know every night.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I lol'ed.

Minus the one NHLer.

 

[Raspewtin]

Minus the one NHLer.

hahahaha

 

[Raspewtin]

Of course Russia plays the USA like it's the gold medal game, but they play like ass against the Slovaks.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Russia and Slovakia are still scoreless. Wow.

A lot of bad games from prominent teams, USA look the best so far. QF round will have some interesting seeds. One of the top seeds may get a Czech matchup.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

hahahaha

Unfortunately, they'll have one overpaid and termed NHLer come July 1....

Of course Russia plays the USA like it's the gold medal game, but they play like ass against the Slovaks.

Once the Russian players have their Gazprom shares revoked, there could be an emerging market opportunity...
