Olympic Hockey Day 3 Thread

I'm just this excited to be away from Getzlaf and Perry because they smell.

I'm just this excited to be away from Getzlaf and Perry because they smell.

Right, this will be my last entry of the weekend, as I'm off to Sin City.  So the Matt Daily Double will be taking you through the prelims from here on out.  We'll get a better idea of how the US stacks up today as they and Canada switch opponents.  If Switzerland can stymie the hosers as much as they did the Yanks, I'll feel better about the US's chances.  Anyway, your hockey menu today:

TEAM AMERICA, FUCK YEAH! v. NORWAY: 2pm on USA Network

I don't expect 8, but I do expect the US to handle this team with ease.  Goal difference could come into play, but it won't with Canada or Russia as they're your likely group winners.  So Finland with a current +4, the Czech's with a current +2 are the main ones to keep an eye on, as they're likely to have 6 points when all is said and done.  Unless they take points off group Leviathan's Sweden and Russia, respectively.  Or the US off Canada.  We'll know more after today's games.

CANADA v. SWITZERLAND: 7pm on CNBC (assuming curling is over)

Maybe Hiller stands on his dick and makes this one awfully interesting, but I doubt it.  The Swiss were a lot more physical than anyone expected against the Yanks, and half their team looks like Patrick Sharp.  But that won't work against a much bigger Canadian team.  They won't get 8, but they'll put up enough.

RUSSIA v. SLOVAKIA: 11:30 on CNBC

Slovakia played the only contest that looked like an actual hockey game last night against arch-rival Czech Republic, or did until the Czechs bunkered down like it was Gallipoli in the 3rd period.  For those who watched it, how much better of a broadcast was it with Kenny Albert and Joe Michelleti instead of Doc Emerick and Eddie O?  Boss Hoss looked ok for someone who probably still has a concussion, and Jagr's goal should have probably been a hooking call on him.  Still, I'll be a lot happier when Marian gets back to the couch.  Anyway, this one could be fun, if you're up.  Russia is obviously loaded, and the Slovak's have more scoring talent than I thought (Or would if Richard Zednik would stop bitching to the refs for one second).  But still, Pavol Demitra is the #1 center, and that's icky.

Damn it!

with this 2pm start time again!! Hope there are some links that might work today!

I hope Hossa gets that rest too, I’m sure he is playing injuried, but we need him 100%…
Russia will run away with that game. I’d watch but I’ll be passed out at that point!

Kenny Albert and Joe Michelleti?

Hearing the words “off the goal post” repeatedly was driving me nuts. Luckily, I don’t think I heard “hockey stick”.

Panda looked more “dynamic” (for lack of anything more descriptive) in the offensive zone early on compared to his play on the Hawks. I’m not complaining, but did anyone else notice this? Is it because of the Hawks’ system, previously no Bolland, or just the nature of the Olympics?

Interesting factoid I saw last night.

Slovakia’s youngest player is Gaborik at 28. Doesn’t bode well for the future of their program.

by Dr. Ice on Feb 18, 2010 2:05 PM CST up reply actions  

Demitra sucks, but...

I’m pretty sure I could lead the tournament in assists playing in between Hossa and Gaborik…And that would just be pucks that bounce off my back while huddled in the corner in the fetal position which Hossa would dig out and either score himself of pass to Gaborik for an easy one-timer

Kaner ain't slumming it in BC this time

he’s going for the hot ones

Dating game: Kane is looking forward to taking advantage in breaks in the hockey schedule to meet some fellow athletes.

“I heard some ice dancers want to meet me, so hopefully I can meet them and hang out with them a little bit,” Kane said. “I don’t know any names. All I heard is they’re good-looking, so that’s what I’m excited about. I heard they play the EA Sports NHL ‘10 game, so that’s why they want to meet me.”

yup - that's the old hockey injury from the teenage years

the cervical one is from when I collapsed at the hospital a cople years ago (after the cancer surgery) and split my head open. That one periodically gives me the “just hit the funny bone” feling in my elbow for days to weeks at a time, and contents itself the rest of the time with inspiring me to drop glasses even when sober and type extra bad (the left hand fires faster than the right hand so I type dyslexic even when I do know how to spell stuff).

It seems closer.......

to Emerson’s “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.”
R.W. Emerson, Self-Reliance

But I really like Mencken’s “The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”
H. L. Mencken

non se•qui•tur (nŏn sěk'wĭ-tər, -tŏŏr')
n. 1. An inference or conclusion that does not follow from the premises or
evidence.
2. A statement that does not follow logically from what preceded it.

From Kuc's article

On the USA line change, Kane said:

“I thought we were playing pretty good throughout the whole game. I don’t know if they’re experimenting with different things but you just want to go out there (and) whoever (I’m) paired with on this team is going to be fine with me.”

“…going to be fine….” That’s just wonderful. Bring that arrogance to the ladies, Kane, and something might happen. It might not be what you want, but you never know.

This was a reluctant admission. I don’t get it myself, she seems to be nice in all other areas. I’m already ashamed. All I can think to do is get really drunk beforehand and shame us both.

Nova Scotia is filled with the typical allotment of Leafs and Habs fans, and then the Pens especially and some Boston meatheads. You rarely meet a Hawks or Scum fan, and so I’m ready to admit the potential for foul play. But as she’s also a golfer and a reader … I can’t risk terminating it before it begins.

I just realized I don't watch enough hockey

I had no idea Ovechkin was such a douche. And even worse, he sems like a prima donna douche.

This man got it right.

No seriously

I don’t think I’d want him playing in Chicago. That’s just not the kind of hockey I want to watch.

He is a huge douche.

Literally, he weighs 235 pounds and is only 6’2". Brouwer is the same height and weighs 20 pounds less.

Yes.

I too am jealous that OV doesn’t play for my team so I call him a douche.

Yes sir. Boozing and drinking. And also watching.

by Ban on Feb 19, 2010 12:59 AM CST up reply actions  

Mostly watching Hossa.

He had a nice pass on a short handed play earlier in the game.

I did see that

It was pretty.

He got the tying goal in regulation

And basically created the chance for his team to win it. Stupid on the Russians to keep using OV over and over again in the shootout.

Anyone know

Maybe I saw it wrong but did Russia shoot twice in a row after the 3. Rounds ended or am i just too tired and drunk to watch correctly?

They switched after the first 3.

From Slovakia shooting first to Russia shooting first.

Slovakia is strong like bull

Russia is weak like little girl.

Solvakia always live in triumph over little Russians.

Miscellaneous thoughts on Olympic hockey and the Hawks

1. Seabrook will be well-rested. And, at 16-19 minutes a night, so will Dunc. Fine by me.

2. England is the home of soccer (football.) So?

3. I’m surprised, not so much at the jingoism (this is the Olympics, after all), but at the venom directed specifically at Canada on this thread. I mean, they’re so nice.

4. Toews +1 last night, Hossa, Kane score. Yay.

5. Teams dominated by NHLers will click better in the third game- it should be a fun weekend.

6. I enjoyed the exquisite torture endured by Canadian fans last night- then it occurred to me that the pattern was similar to many of the Hawks’ less-well-played games this year. This may explain some of the inordinate hand-wringing over a team with such a gaudy record.

Yes, Canadians are nice

and we expect them to remain that way after we beat the ever living shit out of them on Sunday! ;)

Go USA! No apologies!!!

Well, folks, I want to thank you for being here for the recording of my live comedy album. Funny material and laughter will be dubbed in later.

We shouldn't be so competitive.

Bless you more!

All right, come on, dummy, you won the game. Come on. Pick up your trophy.

its true...

i don’t have anything against the Canucks per-say. but this is the Olympics. national pride and therefore i hate every other country that is playing the U.S. and then when the olympics are over… mostly everybody but France will no longer be on my hate list… cuz remember ppl If you don’t LOVE America… You can get the Fuck Out

Re: #3

Sorry, I think I had something to do with the general trend towards anti-Canadianism.

Aww, it’s understandable, it’s because we’re so good and win all the time.

No Reason

to cut yourself. Canada’s best 18 & 19 year old players are in the NHL

Competitive violence, that's why you're here!

Very true, it would have been scary to see all the eligible players play, but they didn’t, and the team that was there was bettered. Cut, cut.
