How about THAT shit? There was some actual hockey yesterday (US vs. Norway notwithstanding)- what a novel concept. Jonas Hiller stood on his head as he and his scrappy Swiss teammates took the Canadians to the brink before Sid finally ended the shootout, and Dat Horsa Guy knotted the game at 1 halfway through the third period of the Slovakia/Russia tilt before the corpse of Pavol Demitra ended the skills competition for the Slovaks. With Canadia only getting 2 points, and Russia 1, some interesting scenarios may now affect how the standings at the end of pool play shake out. That the US squad has two victories in hand is large right now, but they still have deal with our more polite neighbors to the north on Sunday.
2:00PM - Belarus vs. Sweden - The ghost of Tommy Salo still looms large over this one after Belarus' shocking upset of the Swedes in 2002. Don't look for history to repeat itself, but do look for Niklas Kronwall leaving his feet with impunity in IIHF play as well.
6:30PM - Czech Republic vs. Latvia - Watch it for the uniforms. And then make sure you find Jaromir Jagr's post game remarks in a game writeup somewhere, as he's all but guaranteed to make himself sound like an asshole.
11:00PM - Finland vs. Germany - Well this should be a friendly affair shouldn't it? Zee Germans hung closer with Sweden than was expected, and should give the perpetually ill-tempered Finns a game. But unless the krauts can completely trap the life out of Finland, or Niklas Backstrom (the one who's the goalie) fills his diaper in his obligatory start, Teemu & The Gang should come out ahead.

Nice to see..
Hossa w/ a solid game against those damn Russians!

Hockey is life! Lets go Hawks!

regardless of how it screws with the nhl schedule
the excitement alone is worth keeping the Olympic break.
Correct me if i’m wrong, all the US needs to do is send the Canada game to overtime and then regardless of the outcome of overtime, US gets the top seed?
Also, if i’m wrong, let me know, all Sidney Crosby needs to do is grow a wiener and he’d be a dude?
No, then he'd be a tranny

I don't think so (but I'm not positive)
Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t head to head play the first tie breaker?
With 3 – 0 and 2 – 1 point splits, the US is at 6 pts after 2 games, and Canada is a 5.
If Canada wins in OT/SO the end would be both teams with 7 points.
If head to head play is the first tie breaker, then Canada would be ahead of the US.
that sounds right
i suppose i could just check. However, that would require me to divert time away from what i’m doing while i’m avoiding doing actual work.
That's right, but 7 points should get us a bye regardless
The only way we couldn’t get a bye when sending the Canada game to OT is if Sweden and Finland also go to OT on Sunday and the loser has a better point differential. It’s almost way too complicated, but everyone advances regardless.

Goalie Fight!!!
If anyone can find proof (like a YouTube link) that would be awesome. I would but I’m at work and that site is blocked.
anyways, details:
Feb 12, Rockford vs Milwaukee. about 2 min left in 2nd.
According to co-worker that was there it was an all men on the ice scrum with a broken glass bonus. Crawford was the pugilist

The only Cup we can win is this years
You Stand Corrected
If the US gets into OT or a Shootout with Canada but loses, they will both wind up with 7 points. From there, I’m not sure if it goes to head to head or goal differential first. They pretty much need to win to win the pool. Regulation or OT. But if they do lose, they can still get the “wildcard” and get that first round bye into the quarters. Don’t you love the olympics?

Via IIHF:
A tie between two teams in the same group will go to the winner of the head to head game.

If still tied at that point
It goes to Thunderdome

If they send Sid
and we send Kane, who wins?
All right, come on, dummy, you won the game. Come on. Pick up your trophy.
kane may have golden girlie locks but crosby has a vagina. Since crosby is a woman, he has less ability to build muscle mass, edge goes to kane. Also, before kane walks in, someone wispers into his ear that crosby shorted him 20 cents.
But Crosby may have the ability to grow pubes
Even?

Merkin?
SCH is sooo educational…
You learn something every day
"My Father's name is Jack, and my mother's name is Daniels..."
But with the top 4 teams going on AND 4 of the 5 to 12 teams
The USA is pretty much guaranteed to go on – the real question is whether they’ve avoid having to play a game in teh 5 to 12 seed play down round to get teh last 4 teams to go on.
Goal by Belarus !
They are looting in Minsk ! Not that you would be able to tell the difference between any other day in Minsk
Yep, thats infected.

I didn't know it was possible
but Kopecky is a worse writer than hockey player.
Competitive violence, that's why you're here!
Check out Marian Hossa's
Here:
Today was just practice and now we go for lunch and rest before the game.
This is my third Olympics and it is always fun to be part of. It is honor to play for your country.
Life in the Olympic Village is fun. You have a chance to meet other athletes and it is very friendly atmosphere. We relax and watch some other sports on TV.
My roommate is Pavol Demitra. The rooms are nice.

I think I wrote something similar once.
Replace “Olympics” with “Disney World” and “Demitra” with “my brother” and it’s my “What I Did On Summer Vacation” essay I wrote in third grade.
"FACEOFF!" "Makes the pass." "FIGHT!" - 8 bit hockey
Keyword....
“Mostly” Not bad for the Slovakian! Probably better than mine on a daily basis..
Hockey is life! Lets go Hawks!
Hossa has a bit of an accent from what I've heard - there was a report that Kopecky doesn't
but when would he ever be interviewed?
When they paint a picture of his ass

UGH - no HD on Sunday
I know I’m going to sound like a little whiner, but fucking Comcast in Chicago doesn’t have MSNBC in HD for the USA-Canada game on Sunday. I can’t remember I the last time I didn’t watch a hockey game in HD. I’m hoping someone can help me out, but does Direct TV or RCN have MSNBC in HD? If so, I’ll find a friend or bar so my pretentious ass can catch the game in High Definition. Thanks for the help in advance.
asshole
last time i watched a hockey game in HD was Game 7 of last summer’s Finals. i’ve had to make do with internet feeds since 2009.
All right, come on, dummy, you won the game. Come on. Pick up your trophy.
Ha
That’s your punishment for moving to Canada. Are you talking about all games, or just the Hawks games? I know Canada is behind the times, but they have heard of HD, right? Then again I assume your in civilized Canada (aka ‘100 miles within the border of US’ Canada like 90% of the population). But I could be wrong.

there's HD
but i don’t have that kind of change. broadcast tv only, and the “sports” bars aren’t as well “endowed” as back home

Gotcha
What threw me off was your internet feeds remark, which made me think you were holed up somewhere in BFE Canada like the Northern Territory. But then again, who the fuck has internet in the Northern Territory

My friend was pissed because they’re not getting it in HD. Maybe it’s part of a pricier package.

A couple things
First, that girl is hotter then anything 20 cent had in the limo with him. And second, who gives a fuck. The guy is a 22 yr old kid who probably just hit the pinnacle of his career, is plastered, and just happens to be really good at snowboarding. Nothing more, nothing less. The USOC can suck a dick. A Playmate from Italy basically in so many words to Alberta Tomba on world television she would fuck the shit out of him after he won gold and noone gave a shit. Fuck Murrica’s puritan ways.

Well, I know you're kidding, but...
When I played goalie, those low shot games were a bitch
"My Father's name is Jack, and my mother's name is Daniels..."
Yeah, I know
I never played goalie. But it’s along the same lines of a pitcher who takes to long to pitch/doesn’t throw strikes. The infield doesn’t focus/gets bored, errors happen.
