KESSSSSSSSSEL

 

[Red_Man]

Millers helmet looks so corny

 

[RangersFan]

Stepan has already done more in one shift than Wheeler has done all Olympics.

 

[Tiktaalik]

Go Slovenia !

 

[Cake Boss]

I still cant believe they picked Blake Fucking Wheeler over Babby.

Its just as bad as the Kunitz selection.

 

[RangersFan]

Im losing a lot of respect for Bylsma. Slovenia controlled that period besides the 2 goals. Brown is killing Kane. None the lines other than JVR-Pavelski-Kessel is working. ORPIK SHOULD NOT BE PLAYING. No reason for Faulk to be scratched this game. Parise has to be put on a different line, he has to start scoring if USA hopes to Medal.

You could have told me it was the Pens out there after the 2 goals and I would have believed you.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

But I made my post before Dastardly....

Plenty of Hiller penises to go in all our faces!

No.

Hiller is playing for Smileys team and they're Swiss etc. I'm all for it

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Scratching Kunitz would be admitting they fucked up. I can see Babcock willing to lose a chance at gold than do that.

EDIT: Apparently they're splitting Crosby and Kunitz. That makes even LESS SENSE.

Crazed is right. Babcock has gone off the deep end. Kunitz is our Cleary...

 

[RangersFan]

I'm hoping Slovenia piles the shots on and Miller gets 50 saves to show DB who should be the starter for the medal rounds.

 

[jello44]

Ohhh bullshit.

 

[Tiktaalik]

Uh oh. Kopitar not on the power play, not on the bench...

 

[jello44]

US needs to wake the fuck up.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Kessel.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Hatty KESSELELELELELLLLL

KESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEL

 

[RangersFan]

MAC TRUCK!!!

 

[jello44]

The sleeping dragon has awakened.

 

[Quick]

Fierce Kessel

 

[Milly79]

What a shot. Jesus.

 

[RangersFan]

lol Bylsma does his first shuffle of the day, and goal.

 

[C Jones]

You could have told me it was the Pens out there after the 2 goals and I would have believed you.

I was listening to the game on the radio after missing the 1st. They were saying USA was looking for the perfect play instead of putting the puck on net. I'm thinking "wow that sounds familiar..."

 

[jello44]

Bad TJ, bad.

 

[RangersFan]

If Bylsma has a clue Wheeler just took Brown's spot in elimination rounds...

 

[ICKE]

Russia is making a mess of it.

 

[RangersFan]

lol USA settling in now once Bylsma finally makes the adjustments we've all been screaming about.

 

[DrM]

Our defense today is on standard level (read: defensemen looking their opponents) but nobody expected nothing from this game - the most important game is coming on Tuesday when we face Austria with some past scores to settle.

 

[lamaroo]

Fucking Kessel. Imagine if he was actually in shape.

 

[Curufinwe]

He reminded me of Forsberg setting up that goal.

You really have to laugh at Canada for bringing Kunitz in the first place, then taking him away from Crosby when that was the only reason he was on the team, then for playing him ahead of the top scoring player of the last four years.

 

[RangersFan]

Fucking Kessel. Imagine if he was actually in shape.

him and byfuglien...

imagine how much better they would be if they actually gave a shit about fitness.

He's already second in scoring... -_-

Seems to me your quotes should be pointing more to a better 1st line centremen.

2nd in scoring and yet still criminally underrated for years now. a lot of it has to do with how he carries himself and his fitness level. he's an exceptional finisher and scorer. i'm just saying imagine if he had a high fitness level maybe so many people wouldn't be so hesitant to put him towards the tops of the lists of best players in the game.

don't know what you are saying in the 2nd part of your post.

I hope Kessel gets in shape then, Leafs will have the best player in the league getting 130 points a season.

People in the know who bother checking stats for the past 3 seasons should know to put him on 'best' lists
Bozak isn't an ideal 1st line centreman, and Kessel is doing all this playing under a Carlyle system.

ah, yeah I like Bozak, but yeah he's no "#1" center, but he has some good chemistry with kessel certainly more so than kadri.

[John Dunbar]

is my math correct that if russia-slovakia goes to overtime, then the loser of finland-canada will be the best second place team unless they get absolutely destroyed (finland has +9, canada +8 in goals)?

"He is, they say, “powerful” – enough to belt a golf ball more than 350 yards, manhandle a leg press or blow away from them on the ice in practice"

Did Manics write this?

Is it possible Russia is eliminated here or are they definitely in the next round?

No one is getting eliminated yet, best four teams just get a free pass to quarterfinals.

 

[John Dunbar]

everybody advances. top four make it straight to quarter-finals, the other 8 play for their places.

russia's odds of making the quarters straight are getting pretty slim, though. have to win in regulation here.
