Cracked me up during the game, and as a gif it's somehow funnier. I kept waiting for a linesman or teammate to skate by and grab it but no.

 

[Quick]

What the hell is that?

 

[calder]

Piece of tape on the ice.

 

[zroid]

why do I always miss all the funny shit

I didn't see the ref tackle either

 

[Stasis]

Looking at the Russian lineup with their names spelled correctly where in the NHL the "yo" is replaced with "e".

Artyom Anisimov
Alexander Syomin
Nikolai Kulyomin

You kinda understand why Varlamov stuck with Semyon.

 

[Big-E]

Missed the game due to time zone difference but it seems like Crosby is doing jack shit again. This whole linemate crap is fucking ridiculous. Two tournaments now they have been looking for linemates for him. 99 percent of the players are playing with people they havent played before so shut the fuck up and produce.

 

[MetatronM]

Only just saw this McD play. So awesome.

 

[Stasis]

It's no wonder our boy is moved to top line shutdown duties!

Hopefully he can handle the right. I guess they talked it out and he felt more comfortable there than Suter.

 

[speculawyer]

Oh man . . . I hope Norway can at least win one game. Well, going up against Canada and Finland was not an easy way to start.

 

[Red_Man]

Babcock and Co already have in their mind who they wanted to be the starter. Two games against worthless opponents weren't going to change that minus any incredible implosion from either goalie.

Hey, at least hes cleaning tape off the ice, don't want anyone to trip.

I'm dying.

Saw it live, but .gif version will get used for generations.

 

[Zeppeli]

Holy shit, that Luongo. Guy is great.

 

[Cake Boss]

Holy shit that was Crosby's first assist in 7 olympic games.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

But did he get it eventually?

Fun fact: Carter played the least of any Canadian forward (under 10 minutes).

Luongo has the best quotes:

“It’s nice,” he said, following his 6-0 shutout win over Austria on Friday night. “This was my first win in three weeks [he'd lost his lost five starts with the Vancouver Canucks before the Olympic break]. It feels really good, you know.”

And: “I just didn’t want to give up that six-goal lead in the third.”

They should win against Austria. As a team they are way better. Austria only has one line that can do something (their NHL line) and then nothing (bunch of guys from Austrian league) . Norway has more balanced team (pretty much all players from Swedish league). They were not even that bad as the numbers would indicate today against us finns. Couple of soft goals from their goalie in first round and then that freed our game.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

No way in hell I was getting up at 4am on a Saturday morning.

OOOOOOOO CANADA \o/

Getzlaf scoring makes me happy. Seeing Teemu score for Finland is great too.

So what's the whole thing to take away from todays game ladies and gentlemen? I won't be able to watch it for another 24 hours.

subban just passes by.

classless.

 

[Freyjadour]

Who is sitting for Subban?

Rosa Parks

Just now seeing this, lost my shit.

oh god I totally missed that ROFL

Wow, bravo sir. Bravo.

 

[Smiley90]

Team USA gonna have to face the best cop on the force tomorrow.

 

[MetatronM]

I'm actually considering waking up at 7 am on a Saturday in order to watch USA vs. Russia.

...I really should just DVR it, right?

 

[Decado]

Doesn`t matter who starts. They`re both solid. Goaltending isn`t going to be the reason for any of Canada`s results.

It could easily be in a tight game against any of the better teams.

 

[Fata1moose]

I hope Bob gets lit up by the US tomorrow.

 

[calder]

Alarm set for tomorrow morning (well, technically this morning, shit), should be a great game.

A close, nail biting game would be great. A shit kicking by either the US or Russia would also be entertaining. I'm basically good with whatever.

 

[Quick]

Fuck that, I'm sleeping in. I'll catch the replay later in the day.

7 is way better than 4. I'm for sure not waking up at 4am.

 

[AcridMeat]

I'm staying up all night drinking get drunk get wrecked get fucked watch hockey bro WOOO

Slovenia vs Slovakia starts in 7 minutes.

 

[Vman]

This british play by play guy is awful. It's hilarious

Is he a goalie who's really good at it?

Get your annoying ads together Vman

 

[Red_Man]

Some pretty big hits in this game so far.

 

[Red_Man]

Someone just killed Kopecky

 

[Butts-a-plenty]

barkov and kopecky both injured.

the curse of the bet.

 

[Vman]

Get your annoying ads together Vman

it all makes sense now. I now have clarity.

 

[Red_Man]

Poor Chara, too strong to even pass the puck.

 

[Smiley90]

It was one of the two ads the played during World Juniors. Over. and over. And over. And over.

Does Chara use the same stick maker Edler uses? Because..... it's ridiculous.

 

[Smiley90]

These Slovenian jerseys look like they were made by wsox in NHL 14.

 

[Butts-a-plenty]

there's something off about the optics of the big ice.

maybe it's the closer proximity of the cameras.

Remember the fun stuff you could do with unlocks in NHL 99 (or whatever it was), like smaller players? That's how it looks like.

The angle of the camera (much shallower) combined with the lack of seats up to the glass are what throw me off.

Jesus, watching this SVK/SLO game is not what I need to be doing if I want to be up in a few hours to see Russia/US. This game is dull as shit anyway.

no, i meant that it doesn't look that different from regular sized ice.

i want that.

 

[calder]

Why does Hughson keep saying this is a great game? Is he drunk or am I crazy? To me this is a classic big ice 0-0 snoozefest. Maybe not the worst game I've ever seen or anything, a few good chances but a LOT of play between the blue lines broken up by the occasional cycle cycle look for Michael.
