Olympics: Quarterfinals talk!

[PanniniClaus]

Slafkovsky is probably securing himself a 2-5 draftpick spot at these OGs.

I agree..Brad Lambert? Won't be able to tie his skates..

 

[John Price]

USA Score! They lead!

 

[jkrdevil]

Goal! 2-1! USA!

kind of fortunate to be up. US has been incredibly sloppy this game.

 

[tobu]

Same thing again, forwards were outskated on the backcheck, it was 5 US on 3 Slovaks there.

 

[Antiillafire]

Slovak forwards taking way too long shifts

 

[tobu]

USA can win this on the rushes. Slovakia has outshot and outposessed everyone incl Finland and Sweden, but can lose on the rushes getting outskated on the backcheck.

 

[BMOK33]

The US I think overall is trying to be too cute...there's been a few cases if they just threw it on net they'd probably have scored but probably making too many extra passes

 

[PanniniClaus]

I feel the USA are playing at a blinding pace..Slovakia are still just one shot away but have nothing like the pace the USA have. The teams that took veterans ... not happening here.. kids, speed, skill..

Indeed but unfortunately there is no better Slovaks available. Besides maybe Lantosi and Liska. We don’t have the disposal of choosing either NCAA or Euro players. Personally I wouldn’t have mind seeing Jedlicka here for Slovaks over Dano. But there is some weird obsession with the latter, even when he’s terrible

 

[BMOK33]

Slovakia probably has to win it in the 3rd...I feel with the short turn and the fact the game is fast paced they'll start losing their legs if this goes past regulation

 

[John Price]

5 on 3 power play for the States, can really put this game away with a goal here.

 

[Kyndig]

I thought it was a smart play, but had a feeling they would call delay of game there. Saw a similar penalty in the women's games.

I mean I wouldn't exactly count Slovakia as a team that took veterans. Not as young as US sure, but it's still like the 3rd youngest team at the tournament.

 

[Zero Pucks Given]

Pathetic powerplay

 

[tobu]

Posts on both sides, Slafkovsky almost with the tying goal. Slovaks are looking gassed though...

 

[rohky]

Russia plays Denmark (again) in the 1/4 final. For the DEN and RUS this will to be a tough game. Tougher than the previous one. Both teams know each other. DEN is on the rise after the group stage and additional game. RUS had some ups and downs in the last game so their win isn't obvious.

 

[John Price]

Tie game.

 

[Gurglesons]

USA Powerplay killing both the men and women teams.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Ugh

Slovaks tie it with about :40 left in 3rd

 

[Zero Pucks Given]

Jesus Christ

Sweden and Canada must be laughing really hard right now

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

When did Olympics go to 3 on 3 OT? I dont remember this

 

[slovakiasnextone]

RTVS Sport stream found the best time to die on me...

 

[ViD]

Russia scores against Denmark. Shipachyov’s first goal

 

[kingsholygrail]

whiffs on the open net, omg!

 

[Zero Pucks Given]

Knies nearly stole it for us at the death, wow
