OT: XXII Olympic Winter Games - Sochi 2014

[DaStars99]

NA is general has weak goaltenders IMO. Not having high expectations for Team USA, I'd be happy with any color medal/beating Canada. I wouldn't be surprised if neither happen. What I'm hoping for is if USA doesn't win gold is Russia does with Val playing a key part.

 

[TrillMike]

I really hope the guys not playing in Sochi have daily conditioning planned.

 

[TrillMike]

It's impossible for me to cheer against Benn, Val and Lehtonen. I'm not really "pulling" for USA, I want to see our guys get valuable experience.

ruff talked to each one of them individually and told them what they needed to do

I wouldn't expect guys that play like they do to let up on that.

Seguin is headed to Mexico...so there's that.

Drinking Tequila shots and banging hot Mexican chicks I assume? Quick someone tell the Boston media!

I'm sure the Boston Globe already has a team down there waiting for him at MargaritaVille.

Seguins phone rings on Wednesday night after a 4-day binge:

"Hi, it's Team Canada here, [insert player] got hurt, could you come and play against Finland on Sunday?? "Shhure, I'm on it, bye".. "Senoritas, pack my bags, duty calls"

Hmm, I wonder if the hotel the millionaire athlete has booked has an exercise facility.

 

[Anhero]

Nuke with the Russian National Team. Only two spots away from Malkin ))))

@TSNBobMcKenzie 2h
So, as it turns out, JT starts at C with Bergeron-Benn on wings. Marleau on LW with Getzlaf-Perry. Duchene and St. Louis appear extras.

Benn-JT-Bergeron? Looks good.

 

[Primetimey*]

I don't want Benn with Getzlaf/Perry. They weren't that good in the World Championships a few years back.

 

[Captain Awesome]

Benn-JT-Bergeron? Holy crap that line is awesome, hockey boner inducing awesome.

I was wondering why Nuke is so short in that picture, didn't have skates on.

Huh, so it looks like he might be watching this tournament from the press box after all. Their loss I guess.

Either that or his skates are taking their sweet time getting back to Russia from Dallas

He was the only russian player on the 3rd charter with NHLers. His bags were still somewhere at the airport.

Déjà vu

 

[piqued]

Updated the original post with more detailed schedule information for the teams most Stars fans will be following.

 

[Rune Forumwalker]

Well if he does sit that would be rest for the remaining season and World Championships/playoffs.

 

[ElGuapo]

I was thinking..DAMN that Russian team is tall since that photo made Val look short.

 

[Starry Knight]

Pondering not going to my afternoon classics class to go home and watch team Canada's game on Thursday.

 

[Kiorei]

For some reason, Thursday feels so far away. lol. Can't wait.

 

[KiedisA]

30€ put for both Sweden and USA (7.00) and 1€ for Slovakia(41.00)..

 

[Klockis]

Sweden up by two against the Czech's after the first.

 

[Klockis]

4-2 Sweden after three.
