Olympic Hockey Thread Part III

[Jabroni]

3 refs in the final are canadians. The Swedes are furious. Peter Forsberg calls it a Comedy and a "****ing joke"...

How the hell do they swing that? That's ridiculous.

I think the officials story is over blown. Wasn't Kerry Frasier the referee for Miracle on Ice game at Lake Placid? These guys are professionals that are there to do their job.

They all grew up a fan of a particular NHL team, yet there is never any conversation about it. If the players are fine with it, which seems to be the case, then I don't see what the big deal is.

This is just a lose-lose situation. If there is any slightly controversial decisions that have a impact on the outcome of the game they are ****ed either way.

since no one is talking about this game.. Kesler just saved a goal for team USA..

So, did McDonagh, but they didn't show a clear replay.

Meanwhile, Quick was flopping around on the ground

yea.. McDonagh has been well.. now Quick just made a save on Selanne... Callahan did a good job on the PK there.

Finns with good puck movement on the PP

Most players look like they don't care. Not surprised. Finns are hungrier.

Also, Patrick Kane really has no comprehension as to when to shoot the puck. I hate his pass first mentality. He has a wicked shot and has passed up so many in this tournament. He seems to shoot a lot more on Chicago, I just don't get this. He has driven me absolutely nuts.

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

Brown begins an 8 year extension next season. $47M. Good luck to LA.

Fast forward a few months "Callahan begins a 7 year extension next season. $49M. Good luck to NYR." Hopefully not

Penalty shot, whoa

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Is Olczyk right? Was this rule recently changed in the NHL?

 

[DoTheBlue]

Penalty shot US

 

[AHB*]

EDIT: I was wrong.

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

wtf was that Kane...

 

[Placid]

Penalty shot, whoa

But Rask says no.

And Kane misses the goal entirely i think ?

 

[The Gloaming]

Yeah great job Kane. 1/11 in Shootouts this year. Pick anyone else that was on the ice with him.

 

[DoTheBlue]

Kane with the fail

 

[Cmox]

Had to be a player on the ice.

 

[AHB*]

Had to be a player on the ice.

Did you read that. Announcers said anyone on the team.

 

[Cmox]

WAtching the replay of that Kessler block and I'm certain Quick has an elastic sack.

 

[Cmox]

Did you read that. Announcers said anyone on the team.

Pierre later corrected them saying the ref said had to be someone who was on the ice.

I should know by now not to listen to these announcers. 80th mistake these olympics.

 

[AHB*]

Pacioretty sucks.

 

[AHB*]

Lol Parise was on the Ice for the penalty shot oppurtunity.

This season, Kane is at 9.1%, Parise is above 37%.

Brilliant coaching.

 

[DoTheBlue]

Team USA all out of goals
