Latvia making it a game. Excellent.

 

[Silexx]

Price went down before the guy even made a move. Committed way too early, but even Habs fans say he sucks in shootouts, which is basically what that was like.

To be fair, Price didn't know the Latvians could raise the puck.

 

[RangersFan]

So when is Parise gonna start scoring?

 

[clemenx]

There are 2 networks showing the Olympics here and both are showing goddamn Ice Dancing.

Fuck, I know I'm the only person in this country who knows Hockey exists but damn I wanted to see theese games!

 

[yyzjohn]

To be fair, Price didn't know the Latvians could raise the puck.

Yeah I was gonna say, it was probably a good assumption, who knew the guy could roof it. LOL

 

[Hunter S.]

So when is Parise gonna start scoring?

He is used to Wild Hockey. Where they do not score.

 

[Rad-]

I just checked Wiki and Finland has gotten 5 hockey medals from last 7 Olympics. Not a bad record.

 

[railGUN]

Surprised himself, even.

 

[LevelNth]

Lol you guys. Winning isn't enough, flawless play culminating in an X-to-nothing score (that raises or lowers depending on the world rank of the opposing team) is mandatory for Team Canada or it's PANIC PANIC PANIC!

 

[gutter_trash]

Kristers Gudļevskis >>>>>>>>> Carey Price

I am Canadian and I believe Latvia deserves this

 

[RangersFan]

lol Canada Latvia is 1-1? Reading the posts it sounded like Latvia was up like 2-0 or something.

 

[DopeyFish]

I am cheering on latvia for gold

 

[Hari Seldon]

Is Latvia the country with only 1 NHLer?

 

[dwuuuu]

lol Canada Latvia is 1-1? Reading the posts it sounded like Latvia was up like 2-0 or something.

Canada will win easily, just haven't been able to score

only a matter of time

Sure, he could have played it better, but calling out the goalie when the fucking D are napping like that seems ludicrous to me. Besides, he's made a couple of good stops already.

 

[DopeyFish]

Slovenia has kopitar

 

[Takao]

Oh no, I hear Glenn Healy on today's CBC stream.

 

[Clydefrog]

Quick must love it when his team actually scores goals

 

[Samyy]

I wonder what the reactions would be if Subban made that mistake

He does suck in shootouts.....but he's typically great on in-game breakaways.

 

[DopeyFish]

Its all the habs fault?

 

[yyzjohn]

I'm totally blaming the Habs if the unthinkable happens lol

 

[Samyy]

Its all the habs fault?

No the defensive lapse, no one seems to be calling out the defence, even on twitter. I imagine it would be quite different if it was him giving up the breakaway.

 

[dwuuuu]

USA winning 3-1 !

 

[gutter_trash]

this is what happens when Yzerman passed on Claude Giroux.

now you got Cindy Crosby not giving a fuck and losing face offs like if it's an All-Stars game

 

[Kifimbo]

Canada is just awful.

And the refs are letting them hook like crazy.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Sweden v. Finland is a heated border war in Hockey just like USA and Canada. Assuming USA and Canada win their QF round, we'll have 2 amazingly hyped semi final games

 

[Mighty Chin]

Lol. Blaming a goalie in that situation is ridiculous.

A goalie can always be blamed for letting in a breakaway. He's the last line of defense there. He committed to early. His D deserves blame too. Much like the tying goal for the US in 2010

 

[Hari Seldon]

US just dominating right now.

 

[Entropia]

If Canada loses, we blame Kunitz right?!

 

[Samyy]

Nooo future Leaf captain Tavares!!!

 

[Quick]

Oh shit Tavares.

 

[MeBecomingI]

The players on Team Canada just look like they are trying to be too fancy.

Oh shit, almost 2-1 Latvia.

 

[Solo]

If Canada loses, we blame Kunitz right?!

Start by firing the entire Hockey Canada executive for trying to build a team based on Crosby, for starters. If he's truly the best player in the world, he should be able to play with anyone. Handpicking scrubs to play with him is beyond stupid.

 

[Red_Man]

His D deserved too much blame for letting in a breakaway that clean against Latvia? Right. Give me a break. Garbage D right there with one of the supposed safest D pairings Canada has. We need top 5 all time goalie Lu in there right?

 

[ZZMitch]

This Latvian goalie needs an NHL contract.

 

[MeBecomingI]

Nice giveaway Crosby...

How has the puck not gone in? That Latvian goaltender is crazy good.

 

[Hari Seldon]

I want the US to hurry up and score 2 more goals, this Canadian game sounds far more entertaining haha.

 

[kassatsu]

All part of Bettman's plan to make Crosby hungry for the Cup this year.

 

[dwuuuu]

My god Russia's out of the medals !

 

[Cat Party]

This Latvian goalie needs an NHL contract.

He has one with TB. Just hasn't played yet.

 

[ZeroGravity]

This Latvian goalie needs an NHL contract.

He already has one with Tampa Bay.

 

[Curufinwe]

Latvia actually winning would be beyond my wildest dreams.

 

[zroid]

put it

in

the god damn net

 

[Kak.efes]

Only a matter of time..

 

[Milly79]

So when is Parise gonna start scoring?

Now.

 

[RangersFan]

There we go

 

[dwuuuu]

Goal USA

 

[DopeyFish]

Parise scores

But wow was that PP unit so messed up

 

[Acid08]

PARISEEEEEEEEE
