Will be working Friday, if anyone spoils the score for me I'll kill

 

[Mighty Chin]

Terrible decision to shoot on that last rush. Up by 1, 15 seconds left, if you miss the other team has a chance the other way.



Dat adversity.

I said the same thing. I just shook my head

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Show me one person in this thread that gave Latvia a shot before the game started. Nobody did.

Well according to your shitty prediction anyone has a shot against Canada. Jamaica in 4 years?

Might wanna just stay off the internet. Especially ESPN

Latvian goalie > Quick.

 

[calder]

Dat Lightning goaltending depth.

Serious, Pavelec for Gudļevskis right now. To sweeten the deal we'll throw in Mark Stuart, he's a tough as nails shutdown dman you'll love him. I'm faxing this over now, sign it quick!

 

[Smash88]

Sorry, was that not you bandwagining the Pens in the thread last year posting stupid ass gifs?

Sure if you want to consider me a bandwagoner for following the pens for 10 years now. And if you want to consider my gifs "stupid". Yeah I'm the person. But what does me cheering for Canada have to do with "bandwagoning" the Pens. It's funny that I have to take the time to justify to you that the tired notion of calling me a bandwagoner is getting old. Find something new.

Canada - US game should be interesting. The US's defensive style is different from that of European teams like Finland, Switzerland, and Latvia is it not?

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

US forwards have been better while Canada's defence is stronger. So it should be pretty even.

 

[Smash88]

I hope Tavares is alright.

 

[Mdot]

I'm off Friday; pumped I get to watch the game live. What time does it start?

 

[apocalidiot]

Lol I remember that thread. So goofy

 

[ActStriker]

Gonna have the strangest boner on Friday.

Give me your Kessel celebration gif

 

[Acid08]

Trying to play that style of game against Canada's forwards is asking for trouble. Do it, USA. Give it your best shot.

Our team of blue collar MEN is gonna destroy you entitled sissies.

 

[CrankyJay]

is that USA/CA 12 noon ET thing set in stone?

trying to get the office to throw it up on our hi-def projector and order pizza/wings

12 EST

 

[wsoxfan1214]

Good shit. Leaving for spring break tomorrow and can watch the game Friday.

 

[Mdot]

12 EST

Nice thanks.

I said the same thing. I just shook my head

Reminded me of 2010. Nashville vs. Chicago, Game 5, series tied 2-2, Preds up by 1, Hossa serving a 5-minute major late in the game. Preds take a shot on the power play, Kane comes back the other way and ties the game. Hossa wins it in OT after his penalty expires. Hawks win the Cup.

 

[kassatsu]

We need someone to make a list of who is on which side.


USA

Don't tread on my avatar.

 

[zroid]

Two days; two Canada vs. USA hockey games; two slaughters by the Americans.

My salt will flow eternal.

that's what it says on the sochi website

they wouldn't lie to a good ol ontario boy, would they?

It's not gonna be 2-1 that's for sure.

Other teams have to try and trap and play for the tie, but the US is strong enough top to bottom that they don't have to do that, so it's still a tough road for Canada.

 

[Impeccable]

Double Canadian win.

2-1 for the women and 3-2 for the men.

 

[massivekettle]

Canada should win both (W and M) games against the USA. On the W's side, USA tends to lose their shit against us.

On the M's side, Canada is the far more talented and stronger/physical team. USA will open up on D compared to Finland and Latvia which shall give more scoring chances to Canada.

 

[Milly79]

Tavares out for rest of Olympics.

Dammit! At least Duchene can fill in nicely.

The US women's team has beat Canada consistently up until the round robin game. There's no reason to think that it's a lock.

Doh!

Tavares is out for the tournament. :\

LOL ok I'll drop it, you obviously have a hate on and were hoping for the upset.

I meant to say: *USA loses its shit in games that actually matter. Exhibition is one thing; Canadians are clutch when hardware is on the line.

Good luck. USA/Russia score was spoiled for me instantly -- and I was out running!

You'll take Lindback and you'll like it.

 

[Red_Man]

US offense has been on fire, but they haven't faced anything close to the Canadian defense yet.

Tavares out for rest of Olympics.

Babcock wasn't using him well enough anyways.

[Socreges]

There's a difference between how Latvia and the US play, Latvia traps holding on for deer life while their goalie puts on an all time great performance. US actually plays with speed and opens up, it will be a much different game for Canada then they've played so far. Price won't have to sit for 10 minutes between shots either.

Not to mention that the Czechs are a much more offensively-oriented team (than Latvia) and had to take chances the moment they were down.

Also "holding on for deer life" lol

On my phone, in the US now watching with Americans. Should make Friday that much better or worse.

 

[yyzjohn]

USA to get stretched on Friday and then Canada will laugh that they had a tougher test against lowly Latvia!!!!


(How's that for arrogance?)

 

[Silexx]

@BonksMullet: Before you start hurling insults at Americans, remember that they don't have free health care to treat those burns.

Lol

 

[ZeroGravity]

Sucks for Tavares, but as Red pointed out, he was being wasted on the fourth line anyway. At least this means St. Louis will stay in the line-up.

 

[mohsinkhan]

Tavares is out for the tournament. :\

Tavares out for rest of Olympics.

 

[massivekettle]

They have the goaltending and defense to stop him, though. Phil is good, but has padded his stats against scrubs.

Canada will win it 4-2 and be in control from start to finish. I haven't seen anything from Team USA that tells me that they are good enough to win against us. Just talent wise, we have 4 first lines, whilst they have 1 1/2. Defensively, we have 3 1st pairs, they have 1 1st pair.

Goalie-wise, it's a match, but if Price can keep it together for 3 periods.

 

[Samyy]

Man Friday will be the saltiest day ever...

Yes, very. Although I think there will still be a little sprinkle left for the Gold medal game too.
