Olympic Hockey Thread Part III

[Fitzy]

Canadians giving double the effort in this period than they showed in any other full game this tournament.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

"The Canadians have had the last 6 shots on goal in a row".

What is the definition of redundancy, Alex?

 

[The Gloaming]

Let's go powerplay.

 

[Ail]

Get one here, let's go.

 

[DoTheBlue]

Good time to get one

 

[Nickmo82]

nash on the pk???

 

[Ail]

nash on the pk???

He was a top PKer under Hitch in Columbus.

 

[DoTheBlue]

Sick PP

 

[Ail]

Canada giving them nothing.

 

[The Gloaming]

This isn't the time for a ****** powerplay.

 

[haveandare]

Quick is looking real good. USA has to get some sustained pressure though.

 

[Nickmo82]

every time i watch kessel, he sucks.

 

[Ail]

Awful, terrible PP. Just unacceptable.


Nice job by Canada.

 

[The Gloaming]

every time i watch kessel, he sucks.

Tied for the most points in the Olympics.

 

[JCrusher*]

Quick has been great. If not for him the US would be down like 3-0

 

[Doctyl]

Torts coaching the PP?

 

[Lime]

What a great period.

 

[Nickmo82]

Tied for the most points in the Olympics.

yah i know. i clearly pick the wrong games...

 

[Ail]

USA looked very good in the first 10 minutes, Canada took over a bit and the USA was reeling.

They need to find that second gear.

 

[Ail]

Quick has been great. If not for him the US would be down like 3-0

Yup, if anyone has to show up today and have a big game, it's him.

 

[Fitzy]

Carlson could have scored, and Canada had 2-3 that very well could have been as well.

Doesn't look like USA has the legs to carry the play this game. Need Kessel to click on the counterattack.

 

[Fitzy]

The nativist is on a rant on CBC. Typical.

 

[Ail]

Doesn't look like USA has the legs to carry the play this game. Need Kessel to click on the counterattack.

They can't let Canada control the pace of this game, it will be the death knell. They're not built to play a weather the storm type of game and hope for some big bounces. They have to at least keep at an even pace.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Canadians giving double the effort in this period than they showed in any other full game this tournament.

Not surprising, but 100% agreed. Not awful for the US 5-on-5.

First goal is gonna be HUGE.

 

[ArPanet]

Only thing I can think of is, US had to win a shootout, Can won out in regulation. Still don't know how US was higher seed.
