holy shit another sweep

 

[Blader]

Holy shit, Dutch sweep. That was nuts. Sucks a little for Smeekens who thought he had gold though

 

[Antagon]

Now Sven Kramer just has to pull a Gianni Romme and take 15 seconds off the Olympic record on the 10k and I'm happy.

 

[massivekettle]

Is Canada's women national hockey team choking or Finland looking really strong? Still 0-0 in 2nd.

 

[Linius]

Pack it up other countries, we're winning the medal count this year.

Spoiler

Oh wait, we're like half trough with the speed skating events

 

[HerbertFish]

Holy fuck nbc. Turn your commercial volume down

 

[Blader]

Goodness, what a finish. Looking at that photo finish, it looked a lot like 34.72, but what do I know. Grats, NED!

Looked like his skate was just before the line at 34.72, so he would've hit it a fraction of a fraction of a second later.

We'll be in the top 3 and about halfway through the Olympics we'll just stop getting any medals and slide off into hopefully 6th or 7th.

Holy fuck nbc. Turn your commercial volume down

Yeah that's totally not on purpose or anything.

 

[lamaroo]

Referees are a joke in international hockey.

 

[Linius]

Here's the history of sweeps btw. We tied Germany now ^^

Finland is a good team. Canada seems to be outplaying them so far, but the Finnish goalie is incredible.

As a side note, the officiating is annoying.

 

[zroid]

I am salty as fuck about this curling game so far :lol

Jacobs you're killin' me

edit: finally a lucky break to get an open draw for a deuce. unless he misses the house which I wouldn't put past him right now.

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

Go Finland! Beat Canada!

I think Finland is supposed to have a good team this year.

 

[bgbball31]

Great run by Erin Hamlin in the Luge!

 

[bonesmccoy]

I think Finland is supposed to have a good team this year.

I think I heard Cassie Campbell say that Finland was 'back to how good they were in the 90s' when 'we'd lose to them by 1 goal'.

Game looks pretty even.

 

[massivekettle]

I think Finland is supposed to have a good team this year.

But CAN-USA good? I highly doubt it. USA dispatched FIN relatively easily, which indicates that there is still a gulf between the top 2 teams, unless Canada is just not having a good day today.

 

[massivekettle]

What happened to Geisenberg? Did she run?

 

[HerbertFish]

John Shuster chokes again shocker

 

[bgbball31]

What happened to Geisenberg? Did she run?

She hasn't had her second run yet. But right after I posted that Hamlin had a great run, Huefner beat her time.

I wouldn't say that the US dispatched the Finnish team with ease. They're a good team and their goalie is really good.

As for the Can-USA comparison, the stats (after two periods) are similar for both games, the difference obviously being the score.

 

[massivekettle]

Yep - saw that. Hopefully she pulls it off in runs 3 and 4. Would like to see the German domination come to an end.

It's Finland's goalie, Raty.

She is arguably the best female goaltender in the world and is keeping Finland in the game big time.

Hah, the NBC announcers shit talking Kate Hansen's dance warmup.

 

[Teggy]

Hah, the NBC announcers shit talking Kate Hansen's dance warmup.

Definitely going to need some gifs of those moves.

 

[bgbball31]

And Geisenberger just put everyone out there to shame.

 

[naku]

Yeah, Finland has a good team, but Canada is supposedly way better. Finland's goalie is just incredibly good.

 

[Samyy]

Damn off the crossbar, so close

 

[Arjen]

Wow, another sweep, really impressive.

 

[kottila]

Here's the history of sweeps btw. We tied Germany now ^^

Wow, another sweep, really impressive.

One trick country...

We're sweeping USA of the ice right now btw

 

[Kazerei]

Canada's doing a great job, but Raty is doing an even greater job. 35 shots on net so far, christ.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

One trick country...

We're sweeping USA of the ice right now btw

We're also decent at football! 2 tricks! Two!

 

[Brinbe]

GOAAAAAAAAAAAL, FINALLY

 

[IcyBlueStrawberry]

Yeah.

The first half of the game was kinda close, but now it's just Raty vs Canada.

Fake edit: Finally!

 

[Samyy]

YAYYYYYYYYYY

 

[MeBecomingI]

GOOOOOAAALLL!!!

 

[Kazerei]

Finally, Canada scores! Woohoo!

 

[beanman25]

Dang! Come on Finland! Still have time!

 

[kottila]

Euro 2012...

 

[HerbertFish]

Usa curling is brutal.

 

[Arjen]

We're also decent at football! 2 tricks! Two!

And korfball!

 

[SkylineRKR]

2 sweeps, nice. But skating is all we have to offer on the winter stage. Which is too bad as I love to watch slopestyle snowboards and Ice Hockey.

 

[Tha Robbertster]

And korfball!

Field Hockey as well!

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Euro 2012...

Yeah that tournament never happened.

And korfball!

I'm not counting sports only we know exist.

Darts though!

^^Field Hockey as well indeed.

Dude we're good at so many things.

 

[zroid]

[Maidenpool?]

[IcyBlueStrawberry]

Damn that was nice.

Game is really opening up now. Exciting hockey.

 

[lamaroo]

Nice goal!

 

[Kazerei]

OMGGG, I nearly had a heart attack! Good job though Canada!
