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.

reminds me of pre-lockout hockey.

I don't mean to sound like Don Cherry, but it seems like a lot of these European players fall over pretty easily, and the refs don't call a lot of it as a result.

I think it's because Slovenia is holding their own quite well and no on really expected that.

 

[calder]

Kopitar to finish this game with a TOI of 50:00.

 

[DrM]

Good two periods from our guys, all we need is one goal.

 

[Red_Man]

Even though their jerseys are absolutely hideous, I'm pulling for Slovenia. Hard not to root* for the underdog.

Also, fuck Chara.

Two very solid arguments. I'm on board, go Slovenia!

 

[Stasis]

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?

You know whats worse? I'm sitting here awake at 4:30am trying to decide if I go make some coffee or not.

Just got back from a valentines dinner ++ and I'm kinda cake bossed. I dunno man. I wanna.

IF you're kinda cake bossed you'll probably pass out before the game starts or by the end of the first period. Speaking from experience.

Ticar! My favourite Slovenian player!

 

[Madness]

Is Slovenia the dark horse of the tournament? Gave Russia some trouble early, now leading Slovakia 1-0 in the third.

Not a dark horse, just doing a lot better then pretty much everyone expected. There's a big difference in quality of play from the big teams from early on in the tournament compared to the medal rounds.

Ticar! My favourite Slovenian player!

Tičar is good, best player for Cologne in DEL
But line Jeglič-Tičar-Sabolič is godly when they play together.

EDIT: RAZAAAAAAAA

 

[ZeroGravity]

Slovenia scores again!

 

[calder]

Woo, GG Slovenia

 

[krishian]

3-0!

 

[Red_Man]

Kopitar had to score at some point

 

[ZeroGravity]

Kopitar!

 

[DrM]

Kopitar!!!!

 

[MetatronM]

Slovenia!

 

[Red_Man]

What a dominating game from him.

If you're losing and you know it start to flop.

Is your SO gabbing away? Might as well make some coffee for that.

 

[Velcro Fly]

This is awesome.

Slovakia's only goal in 5.5 periods was on an obvious offside that wasn't called.

 

[Red_Man]

Whats with all the shitty pop music ads on this CBC stream? Do people actually go to HMV and buy physical albums anymore?

 

[Uncle]

Heh, apparently Selänne became the oldest person in olympic hockey history to score a goal yesterday.

 

[MetatronM]

Kopitar scoring continues the trend of Kings scoring in this tournament. Kind of hilarious, really.

 

[MightGoThere]

Fuck

 

[Red_Man]

Sucks for the Slovenian goalie.

 

[DrM]

Historic victory. USA will probably run over us tomorrow. The most important game will be on Tuesday.

Sucks for the Slovenian goalie.

He is used of this

 

[CLR_CMOS]

Well done Slovenia! We suck atm, but that's just because we are secretly saving ourselves for the medal rounds...

Spoiler

Nope, we're just that terrible :-(

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Really happy for Slovenia, but Kopitar can fuckin' suck it.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Crosbossby.

 

[Uncle]

No official announcement yet, but it's looking unlikely that Barkov will play tomorrow.

 

[Big-E]

Kopitar is such a stud. Remember watching the 2005 worlds and he was great when he was playing against men. Should have went higher than he did.

 

[Buba Big Guns]

Crosbossby.

dayum


Wow Slovenia.

 

[DrM]

Our president made a bet - for each goal that our national team scores, he will ice skate for one hour for charity. Well, the number is now at five and I hope that our guys score some more

 

[RC]

Slovenia! Those god awful jersey's are working.

 

[Red_Man]

Slovenia is 17th in the world rankings, less then 2 million people, 7 rinks and 1 professional team. Pretty great stuff from them today.

 

[Clydefrog]

[Clydefrog]

Really happy for Slovenia, but Kopitar can fuckin' suck it.

[Clydefrog]

[zedge]

Ffs.. Woken by the cops at 430 am.. Some asshole hit and run my car and neighbors.. They took off on foot and left their car.

Car is 6 months old.. Second time this has happened. %@%% grr

I'm awake now. Might as well watch the US game. :/

 

[Red_Man]

Calling Quick getting pulled today.

 

[Kifimbo]

What do you know, Jacobs missing an easy shot again (and probably lost the game).

 

[Jayhawk]

Why'd I wake up to watch this USA - Russia game? I'm not cheering for either of them.

You want to see Putin's reaction if Russia gets blown out

 

[RangersFan]

McD moved up to top pair with Suter, nice.

And his teammate threw a worst one. Holy shit.

 

[Red_Man]

Are they really bringing out the Miracle On Ice montages for a preliminary game?

Of course. I'd be shocked if they didn't. NBC gonna NBC.
