Olympic Semi-final Thread

Now we're into the meat of things, aren't we? The tournament is down to the final four, and all six Blackhawk Olympians are still involved. I think it's obligatory at this point that we say we hope no one gets hurt, so I'm just going to throw that out there. So here's a look ahead at today's games, BOTH of which are on the big boy network, as shocking as it sounds.
2:00 PM - Fightin' Finns vs. America (Fuck Yeah!) - I know I'm with Sam on this one when I say I would have preferred a matchup with the Czechs for the Freedom Fighters. Finland is a team that plays NHL-Playoffs grade nasty hockey in these tournaments, and it's usually why they do well. Solid netminding from Miikka Kiprusoff, balanced if unspectacular scoring from the Koivus, Ruutus, and all-time Olympic scorer Teemu Selanne, and an underrated d-corps led by Kimmo Timonen make this a daunting task for the Americans. All is not gloom and doom, though, as the US has quite a bit of sandpaper of their own, and the solid play of Ryan Miller between the pipes. Patrick Kane hasn't been a factor to this point in the tournament, though he certainly hasn't been a liability. But over the last two years, he's pretty much done nothing but pull the Belmont Transfer on Kipper, so look for him to have a breakout effort. Nostradrunkus (me) says this one goes to OT.
8:30 PM - Slovaks vs. Hosers - Slovakia's upset of Sweden meant Canada's road to gold got slightly easier, but the Slovakians are not to be looked past. Marians Hossa and Gaborik are world class game breakers against world class competition, and a re-animated Pavol Demitra has been helping to provide some more balance to the offense. Look for Jonathan Toews and his line to be matched up against either Hossa or Gaborik all night long, and conversely, Sidney Crosby is going to be seeing a lot of Zdeno Chara, which means Joe Thornton won't be, but he'll still buckle like a belt in this one. Canada should take this on paper, but how well has that worked out for them in the past? This will be the track-meet yin to the afternoon game's meat-grinder yang.
Come get a taste.

If the US wins:
We are guaranteed that at least one Hawk will come home with a gold medal.
We are guaranteed that at least 50% of the Hawks participating in the Olympics will come home with a medal.
It keeps alive the possibility of all 6 of our Olympians coming home with medals.
Awesome.
Technically, the Finns could still win gold and shut out all the Hawks from it
but I don’t think anybody is going to bet that way

I've always thought Kiprusoff was overrated
Then again, I’ve only seen him get slapped around by the Hawks. Maybe he’s actually a decent goalie against other teams?
Kipper's been the only reason the Flames have won a single game this year.
He can be a wall, but it looks like he’s having a bad day.

Kipper had 3 saves on 7 shots
Backstrom has 2 saves on 4 shots, so I guess he’s doing better?

The most beautiful sight in hockey...
Is Mikka “hanrahan” Kipersoft storming to the locker room in a snitthird time I’ve seen it. Always fun!
And to think he demanded to be the number one goalie, or he wouldn’t play for Finland.
Megaturd!
"My Father's name is Jack, and my mother's name is Daniels..."
At the start
I was going to post about the fact that Kipper’s save % was 0.5 and it was probably going to be the lowest I’d ever see. But, dammit, Kipper was determined to prove me wrong. Love it.
I have to admit...
I was a little worried after watching that first shift from Ruutu. I love being wrong

It'd actually probably be Brouwer the be the first to hop in and kick ass on Kaner's behalf.
He’s usually Kaner’s self-appointed defender.

I think Kaner really wants his hat trick
Especially after that cheap shot from Jokinen.
Kane always takes his game to another level when you take cheap shots and piss him off
It’s my favorite part of his game.
Tremendously tremendous

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

Tribune sports page
did anyone see the sports page today.
It has six different pictures, one of each hawk player in his olympic uniform in action.
The one of Seabrook, is absolutely not seabrook.
I think it may be crosby
This is inexcusable
"In an ideal world I would have all 10 fingers on my left hand so my right hand could just be a fist for punching."
It a picture of a lefthander shooter who is crashing the net.........um
it is hard to see the number and you can see the player’s face a bit, but no way is that Seabs…..how the fuck does that happen?

I'd have liked to see Miller go ahead and get the shutout
