Olympic Hockey Thread Part II

[gary laser eyes]

5-0. Backes. Nice assist by Cally.

 

[Cmox]

Cally might have an assist.
That's a good one.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Assist by Cally?

 

[Raspewtin]

Backes from Callahan!

He's having a very good tournament.

 

[highandwide]

keep going hard to the net

 

[lilphildub]

Hows D Step looking?

 

[SKjEi o2]

Hows D Step looking?

He's playing safe.

 

[Levitate]

Yeah Stepan not getting much time and taking short shifts for the most part...not sure why Bylsma keeps running out his top line when up 5-0 and under 10 minutes left...give some of these other guys some time, they're still better than everyone but Kopitar on Slovenia. MIght as well let these guys have some fun

Still don't really like McDonagh on the right but it says something about the coaching staffs trust in him that they keep putting him out there on the right even with partners other than Suter

 

[Cmox]

Why do they keep saying Kessel has a natural hatrick? He scored 2 in the first and the 3rd in the second. Have I been wrong in thinking that a natural is 3 goals in one period?

Three without someone else scoring any. (in between)

 

[GP035]

Nice jinx there Doc.

 

[Ail]

If Russia loses... lol.

 

[gary laser eyes]

I like Miller over Quick. He's so much more calm in net.

 

[Cmox]

Three without someone else scoring any. (in between)

Thanks! I don't know why I didn't know that?

 

[Cmox]

play 2 commercials 6 times in a row.

 

[Raspewtin]

Russia-Slovakia in OT now.

Russia played awful.

 

[Levitate]

I like Miller over Quick. He's so much more calm in net.

differences in style but yeah, I like Miller's better. I feel like he's kind of between Lundqvist and Quick in terms of challenging shooters but not being too crazy in coming far out, etc

 

[Levitate]

Russia-Slovakia in OT now.

Russia played awful.

Seems like they really got up to play the US but haven't looked all that interested in playing other than that one game

 

[DoTheBlue]

Russia to the shootout again.

 

[Raspewtin]

This shootout will be interesting.

 

[highandwide]

radulov just looks skuzzy...

 

[Ail]

radulov just looks skuzzy...

Seriously, his face is an awful thing.


He can score though.

 

[Raspewtin]

Yeah, that was over before it started.

 

[silverfish]

Ooof, would have loved to see Slovakia pull that one out.

Still good that Russia has to go through the elimination round.

Not the strongest game from the US today, but color me certainly impressed. Did not think they would win the group.

Really wanted Miller to get that shutout. He played a very, very, very solid game. Some of the best rebound control I've seen.

 

[DoTheBlue]

Yeah, that was over before it started.

Pretty much.
