Sochi Olympics 2014

Come on Latvia!

3rd period just started, Canadians on the powerplay.

 

[Bucky32]

Torn between pulling for Latvia in the upset or Canada so we can beat those benders.

 

[TooTall]

Dude.... Did that Latvian player take a slapshot to the face?!

EDIT: Nope, right on the outside of the knee. Ouch.

The NFL set Europe up for failure when they weren't included in the Super Bowl discussion back in the day. RIP NFL Europe. :(

Now, THAT was a save! Penalty shot or not, he saved his team temporarily!

If Latvia wins this, #11 is an honorary Murican.

Canada has laid an egg in this game regardless of outcome.

 

[TooTall]

Crosby, Teows, Nash, Getzlaf... They all look flat. They don't have their defensemen to bail them out, yet either.

This Latvian goalie is playing a fantastic game.

 

[TooTall]

Shit. 2-1 Canada

Slate has to go and piss in everyone's Cheerios:

Way to go, Slovenia! Not so hot, Team USA

The big takeaway: "The relative success of countries like Slovenia, Latvia, and Austria shows that a country’s culture can be more important than its population or economy when it comes to securing Olympic gold." Ohhh, now I get it, thanks Slate!

 

[BUCKYLE]

It's easy for these countries to talk shit the one Olympiad America isn't doped up.

I didn't watch it live, but watching it now, I think the driver for USA 1 women's bobsled hit every part of the track on Runs 3 and 4. The same goes for the drivers of USA 2 and 3 (on Runs 3 and 4).

Canada ran clean, so they deserved the gold.

The fact that NBC is interviewing Lolo Jones (on all platforms) like she won a medal and didn't finish 11th is funny (and predictable).

I watched yesterday's runs. USA 1 didn't have a clean run then either. The commentator was in a bit of disbelief that they were fast with as shaky as they were.

I caught a part where LOLo Jones said she couldn't wait to go celebrate (or something to that effect).
