holy fuck... wow.

Wow is right!

So? Us swedes got Freddy Modin, age 57, in the team for fucks sake... And Peter Forsberg (only half his body will be injured at the time of the olympics)... And a recently injured Daniel Alfredsson... And Mattias Weinhandl (who's half blind due to a horror-injury a couple of years back)...

Bring on the russians!

Heh, maybe the Russians aren't so imposing after all...

has there ever been a more epic failure? such an incredibly stacked team on paper, such a total failure in practice. too many stars/egos? i don't know, but i am in awe of such a total and complete failure.

Canada looked like they could score at will. Man, I so hope we get a USA/Canada final!

You will, don't worry. And Canada will grab the gold, there's no stopping them after the demolition of the russian empire.

Still though, the highlight of the tournament so far has to be the 3-1-goal the russians scored against the czechs. Ovetchkin nailing Jagr and setting up the goal for Semin to hammer in... Beauty in practise.

Just watched the first period of the USA shellacking Finland, 6-0...hilarious.

by **_Marcus_** on 28/02/10, 21:17:48

Perry just scored 2-0, seconds after the refs (canadian refs) missed a clear-as-day crosscheck from a redwhite shirt.

Great, entertaining final so far.

fuck canada.

Deeply impressed with the US team, especially Miller who I never thought was THIS good. Too bad the sudden death goal was a fuck-up from him.

All in all though, a great final that actually somewhat lived up to the hype.

bullshit. it was a blown defensive assignment to leave cindy alone in the slot. can't blame miller on that one. D got caught chasing.

Sure it was poor defending, but Crosby didn't aim or anything, just threw a shot at the net and found the one gaping hole in Millers gear. A no angle shot, defensive errors or not, is almost always the keepers fault.
