Man, that 50-50 turn in bobsled is brutal.

 

[ScrabbleDude]

But if golds are all that matter what is the US going to do with the ton of silver and bronze medals they've got? Christmas tree ornaments?

 

[Meier]

Looks like Canadian men have a shot at Gold in Curling tomorrow.

 

[talisayNon]

Charles Hamelin found the formula to neutralize Korean dominance -- just go full speed regardless and don't try to control the race. Worked like a charm.

 

[Montresor]

23 medals for Canada if the Canadian men's hockey team beats Slovakia! In both men's hockey and women's curling we'll be guaranteed a silver or better.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

So Tremblay touches the Korean guy as much as Ohno touches the Canadian, but the Canadians get two medals?

I though home cooking was only for league sports.

 

[Chumly]

They did, and they were speculating whether or not he would be DQ'd up until the judge made the decision.

The Judge was Canadian. No way was Hamelin going to get DQ'ed.

 

[Pandaman]

So the US could get the most silver, bronze and 1 less gold than whoever is in the lead and its still be looked down on? Amazing. There should not be any second or third places then.

2nd place is for breaking ties between gold wins.
guess what 3rd place is for.

and wth do you mean 'looked down on'? they're in third, aren't they? thats pretty damn good.

 

[Solo]

Only 11 more medals total to be handed out. 9 tomorrow, 2 Sunday.

But if golds are all that matter what is the US going to do with the ton of silver and bronze medals they've got? Christmas tree ornaments?

Of course they matter. Would you rather leave the Olympics with a bronze or a pat on the back?

They just dont matter as much as gold.

 

[yankeeforever2]

We are in the lead in bob sled!

 

[lordoftherink]

Did Hamelin really push the Korean guy? I missed that replay.

It was a tap as he passed, but I do not think it was what caused the fall, and the judges didn't either.

 

[criesofthepast]

UH OH SLOVAKIA SCOREs. 3-2

 

[Kak.efes]

One goal game.

I'm fucking worried now.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Hockey still isnt' over, motherbitches!

 

[Jeff-DSA]

It was a tap as he passed, but I do not think it was what caused the fall, and the judges didn't either.

But Ohno's touch was enough?

Bull. GG, Canada.

Id pull out my tinfoil hat, but I cant be bothered with all this gold Im seeing.

 

[schuelma]

I still can't believe the US is probably going to get 37 medals, the most at a Winter Olympics ever.


Wow

 

[neptunes]

FUCK MAN!!@!!

 

[ScrabbleDude]

Fuck, come on, Canada. Hold on.

 

[schuelma]

Id pull out my tinfoil hat, but I cant be bothered with all this gold Im seeing.

Just wait until 2014 and you'll be seeing a real homefield advantage, Rocky IV style. Putin will be sniping capitalist skiiers from his mountain lookout.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Combine that with the garbage Mancuso had to deal with in her restart today and that's a raw deal for the US today. No biggie, but Glitch Olympics strike again.

 

[lordoftherink]

Id pull out my tinfoil hat, but I cant be bothered with all this gold Im seeing.

:lol :lol :lol :lol

 

[yankeeforever2]

So Canada is playing no offense now?

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Jesus you guys can't be happy with anything.

 

[LQX]

s2nd place is for breaking ties between gold wins.
guess what 3rd place is for.

and wth do you mean 'looked down on'? you're in third, aren't you?

Doesn't matter, the country that has the most top contenders in medal count is what should matter. And to try and cheat them out of that is BS.

 

[HolyCheck]

Should matter maybe, but doesn't. It's been Most golds for as long as a donkeys schlong.

Edit: read you wrong, I take it you're PRO most gold wins

 

[WinFonda]

and wth do you mean 'looked down on'? they're in third, aren't they? thats pretty damn good.

:lol Canadian spin. USA may have the best winter olympic games EVER. I don't know how you can wrangle that into a 3rd place finish.

And anyone who belittles the value of an olympic medal, when the difference between a hard earned gold and hard earned silver or bronze can literally be hundredths of a second, is a douche.

 

[schuelma]

:lol Canadian spin. USA may have the best winter olympic games EVER. I don't know how you can wrangle that into a 3rd place finish.
.

Seriously. I posted this earlier, but I can buy the best country overall in terms of gold medals if two countries are close in the medal count, but the US is on track to win the most medals EVER, period. I'll take that over any other title any day.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Real intense ending! USA Vs. Canada.

 

[Guardian Bob]

WTF CANADA!!!!!!!!!

...whew...

 

[neptunes]

That was Some SLOOPPPPYY Hockey

 

[Kittonwy]

IN YOUR FUCKING FACE SLOVAKS.

 

[criesofthepast]

HOLY FUCKING WHORE FACE.

Heart attack heart attack
OMG

 

[Mashing]

Holy shit, that last shot by Slovakia was close.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I thought Slovakia tied it, Canada held on.

 

[durendal]

Did Hamelin really push the Korean guy? I missed that replay.

No.

Those were some intense final seconds in the Canada Slovakia game. I thought Slovakia scored for a second.

 

[polyh3dron]

CANADA FUCK YEAH

as long as we have Luongo in on Sunday we GOT THIS SHIT.

 

[Dice]

IT IS OFFICIALLY ON, CANADA

BRING IT, FOR IT WILL BE BROUGHT

 

[AlphaTwo00]

MVP of that game: that goal post at the end. :lol

 

[neptunes]

We can't be that tired and THAT SLOPPY in the 3rd with the US.

 

[Y2Kev]

Hey, I don't care. If we want to agree that silvers and bronzes don't matter, then I will agree on one condition: NBC stops talking about Joannie Rochette and showing live events on tape delay.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

CANADA FUCK YEAH

as long as we have Luongo in on Sunday we GOT THIS SHIT.

:lol

Really now???

 

[oatmeal]

Wow!
Amazing game.

Thrilling as shit.

 

[Pandaman]

Doesn't matter, the country that has the most top contenders in medal count is what should matter. And to try and cheat them out of that is BS.

no, the country with the most winners is what should matter.

:lol Canadian spin. USA may have the best winter olympic games EVER. I don't know how you can wrangle that into a 3rd place finish.

by the fact that two countries have currently won more events than the american athletes.


very good hockey game, so much heart in those last three minutes.

 

[Darth Sonik]

Holy shit at the end of that game.

 

[Seth C]

Fallon gets to do his thank you cards! Hahaha.

 

[Medalion]

We got our rematch but that was some unimpressive shit in the last round... we CANNOT be that way for the US rematch

 

[schuelma]

How can you Canadian guys accuse us of taking things so seriously when you guys are just deliberately baiting us now :lol

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Nationalism:lol

 

[Solo]

You know that when Vancouver got these games and they did the scheduling that they wanted Canada/USA in the gold medal hockey game to be the climax of the games. They couldnt have planned it any better.
