OT: Sochi 2014 Olympics - Hockey Discussion Thread

[Spez]

If that was us in game 7 of the SCF that puck would have went in instead of hitting the post. Then we could add the linesman to the list of refs we hate with O'Rourke, Peel, Devorski and McCreary.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Of course they tie the game after I call them out

It was all planned

 

[Dionysus]

What a game! The Canadian women really battled to tie it up.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Weak call

EDIT: I meant that in women's hockey the rules in regards to checking are more stringent...

Too bad the game is now probably over. 4-on-3 power play for the US because of a "dumb" penalty.

Never mind... yet another penalty.

 

[CanadianHockey]

Wickenheiser dove. Have no idea how that's a) a crosscheck, and b) not a penalty shot.

 

[Qward]

Winner winner.

 

[CanadianHockey]

Can't complain too much about another Gold.

What a game.

FFFFFFFFFF uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu dineen

But thanks for being a Sen!

You can tell he was apologizing to the American coach for the reffing.

 

[Spez]

Glad they won gold but those two first calls were garbage for a championship game. Only the breakaway was the one you had to call. Thank god that weak cross check didn't cost Canada the game.

 

[Marty Straka]

I like Goooooooooooold

 

[Spez]

I'll say this though, the game ending on a PP on a legit call is much better than it being decided in a shootout. I just wish they'd get rid of shootouts to decide championships in international hockey. I can understand why soccer does it since it's much harder to score in that sport but hockey ending in OT means so much more.

Can someone explain to me, please, why patriotism and pride are such great virtues and how not feeling those two abstract emotions is shameful in any way? Especially when specifically referring to men's ice hockey.

Reading through the main thread on that women's game shows the ugly side of patriotism for sure.

Epic game!

Best women's hockey i have ever watched!

It's funny because the Olympics are supposed to be about sportsmanship in competition, so many sports fans are so freaking dumb it's very annoying.

 

[YNWA14]

Yay Canadian women...showing the men how it's done. Now get it done.

Obviously, it was a gold medal game with so much on the line, but that was the most entertaining hockey game, men's or women's, so far in these Olympics. I was so into it.
