i really dont expect this game to go on past 5 minutes in overtime. too much talent in too much space

Whatever happens I think I pulled a rib muscle cheering on that goal.

Up there with the Holy Buckeye as far as my vertical goes (which means it was at least 17-18inches).

 

[OHSportsFan]

I don't either. First 3-4 minutes, the teams will feel each other out, but there is going to be an onslaught of odd-man rushes after that. It only takes one...

Should be fun. USA!

20 min 4 on 4 but idk what after that

OT is only 10 minutes in the Olympics, and I don't think it is 4 on 4, unless the rules are different in the gold medal game.

I saw the Czech-Latvia OT game earlier this week and that's how it worked.

Is this 5 minute Sudden death or 20 min? How exciting if it went to a shootout!

 

[ORD_Buckeye]

Gotta figure we've got the shootout advantage with Miller playing out of his head right now.

It's 20 minutes in the gold medal game.

I'd probably say it'll be even, Toews and Crosby are the two best shootout guys in this game, both for Canada. Two of the best in the world at the shootout. Not sure I take any other two over those guys. I think we need to win in OT. Maybe because I hate shootouts. :p

It's 20 minutes in the gold medal game.

Still unsure on the 4-on-4 thing, however.

NBC said it, which means...nothing.

They're playing on an NHL size rink this year, not the larger international version, and it's 5 on 5.

Yeah. 4 on 4 favors Canada heavily IMO. I hope it's 5 on 5. :(

 

[RB07OSU]

What a game...Miller is playing awesome and great determination to get this tied up...USA!

Really?

I stand corrected, although I wonder why they change the rules for this game.
