US-Canada Olympic Men's Hockey

[Mike80]

anybody besides me think that jeremy roenick is a douchebag when hes on the air?

He's an ass, but he's an ass to Mike Milbury and that's completely fine with me.

He was an ass his entire career and sticking a microphone in front of his face isn't the best of ideas (Hull is better anyway), but at least he's not a pussy like Pierre. I can respect that at least.

Hitchcock's style isn't exactly exciting. He's gone now though. Check them out after the Olympic break, they've been much more exciting with the new coach.

Rafalski gives luck a lot of credit. I agree with him, unfortunately.

Ya, Im definetly gonna check them out when I can. I pay attention to the scores and such, but I'll try to catch as many games as I can now that my intrest has been peaked. I wish I had played when I was younger too. I'm only 17 but if there's anything I could change about childhood it would be to sign up for hockey.

BTW that 2nd Canadian goal was the Rafalski we've seen since the 2008 SCF. Watching the puck carrier as a winger goes behind him to get a clean shot on goal

David Backes(#42 USA) has the same last name as my mother's side of the family. I don't know if we are related to him or not though. GO USA, fuck Canada.

One thing I love about watching hockey is the announcing(play-by-play). There's so much action that it leaves very little time for BS.

Rick Nash just threw the fucking hammer down.

Feels like Canada has been on a power play all period. Skating circles around us.

Jack Johnson got owned.

Rick Nash just threw the [censored]ing hammer down.

crosby followed him up with a hard hit also

I heard it, but didn't see it. How did it compare to Ovechkin's hit on Jagr earlier today?

 

[Mike80]

It's the Olympics and Joe Thornton is still a 6 foot 8 inch walking Vagina when he has the puck. A guy that big needs to be strong with the puck instead of getting pushed around by a d-man who is a foot shorter and 30 lbs lighter

you cant exactly compare an open ice hit to one along the boards, but it was one hell of a hit

Ovie's will be the hit of the Olympics unless someone else REALLY gets lit up....

Nash's was a good hit.

Ovechkin's was much better, but more expected because that's how he plays. That was probably one of Nash's better hits in his career. Probably wouldn't have been that noteworthy if it were someone who normally throws hits like that.

USA picking things up the 2nd part of this period.

Canada out-hitting us. USA needs to change that ASAP.

Finesse is out-gritting the grit.
