GDT: Quarterfinal - February 21 - Czech Republic (3) vs USA (2) SO

[adsfan]

Good game so far. Czechs definitely the better of the 2. Will be a good tight finish.

The last shot total that I heard was 17-11 Czechs. Take away those power plays and it will be pretty even. Although the Czechs didn't get any shots on the last power play IIRC.

but that is his only role here- to run the point on the power play - so when he is on the ice you damn well know he is letting it go!

You can see the wheels turning, creakingly slowly, but turning --

1....Hey, a puck!....
2.... I must wind....
3....up....
4....and...
5....shoooooot.

My wife just woke up. Her first question was "what is the score?" How can you not like that?

To be fair though. It’s not like he’s very good at much else so it’s probablh the right choice

Greenway just towers over his teammates out there...yikes

Better than “Who the hell are you?”

The attendance figures are actually in the wiki article already.

Ice hockey at the 2018 Winter Olympics – Men's tournament - Wikipedia

Quite a few are in the 6,500 range but there are some around 3,000-4,000.

What actually confuses me is the official attendance numbers. For Korean preliminary games, for example, there have been very few empty seats but the attendance given is still at just 6000+. Below is a picture from the Korea - Czech Republic match. Attendance? 6025.

has Borgen even played 1 minute this Olympics??

What’s the capacity though?

Or "can you turn that down, we can't sleep"


US going with the same script from the start of period 2? Run around a lot in their own zone, ice the puck, repeat?

 

[Paxon]

Nope

 

[Urbanskog]

10 000.

And so they teased me with just a smidgen of this game and now it's back to figure skating.

Yes agreed. Czech possession is a lot greater though. Their cycle is proving very challenging for the states. Scoring chances have been pretty close. Also note those penalties are a direct result of Czech possession/cycle domination.

need to control the play here guys...use our speed instead of chasing

 

[Cellee]

How the hell is Jagr not on this team?

There seems to be very few empty seats in this photo.

exactly, he is here for 1 reason only folks...

 

[czechcanadian]

Not taking anything away from USA though. They have looked very dangerous still

 

[AmericanDream]

Nope

After 34 years, I rarely get "What are you doing here?"

 

[NyQuil]

10 000.

Interesting.
