Siouxdonyms Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Shootout coming in Canada/Swiss game. Swiss should be applauded for their effort, regardless of outcome, taking Canada to shootout on home ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxdonyms Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Toews in the shootout!!!! Doesn't get it. Johnny!!! This is international hockey, where you're a master at the shootout!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxdonyms Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Crosby nets one is the shootout (his 2nd time shooting tonight, 4th overall shootout for Canada). Canada wins it. Brodeur with 4 saves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwing77 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I yelled at the TV because it was bad enough that Canada won, but that Jesus Crosby got the game winner... Ugh. It kills me to see Toews in the Canada jersey. Such a great kid on such an arrogant team. OH! Did NBC and Team Canada hire the NBC broadcasters? I swear to god they passed out when Crosby scored the game winner and just about jumped the Swiss player that got him in the 3rd. Yeah, it was a legit high sticking penalty missed but did you see the great embellishment Crosby did? He got a bloody nose and he laid on the ice like he just got McSorley'd. Should've been 4 on 4 but even Olympic officials know better than to call Jesus Crosby for anything. But hey, let's look at it away from hockey and just look at the awards ceremony. NBC seems to think "who cares about bronze and silver. GOLD BABY! And if it happens to be Canada, pump it for all its worth!" The bias is incredible. Yeah, Canada is the host country but... well, to be fair, can anyone answer this question for me: When the last winter olympics was in the US, was NBC or whoever biased to the US? If so, then my point still stands anyways: Hire a foreign service to do the commentating. BBC should do the commentating for these Olympic games. That keeps pro-Canada and pro-US commentators off the mic. OBJECTIVITY is key. Celebrate the Gold, for sure, but give credit to those who were runner up because there were a boat load of people who would do ANYTHING to be on that podium, even if it is "just a bronze medal."

If we're lucky maybe he'll rub off on the rest of his teammates. Meh... I don't really care either way. I just realized a lot of my favorite players are playing on that team. Doesn't matter though, unlike some people, I cheer for my own country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of them or would it be like it is now? Team Canada in every broadcast regardless of whether or not they are actually playing and then throw in Ovechchrist to make it seem like they're not completely fixated like a 6 year old girl hoping to get picked to meet the Jonas Brothers.

nodakvindy Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Today's Norway-Switzerland game has been a barn-burner. The new top Norwegian line has actually looked very strong. Would be quite an upset if the "little brother" of Scandinavian hockey could pull off the win. Today and tomorrow's games should be great as teams battle for a good seeding position. Swiss just won it in OT and kept themselves from finishing bottom of the group. That could have made for a harrowing pre-quarterfinal game for one of the big powers.

Siouxdonyms Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Wow. The Germany/Belarus game is a rough one to watch. I think most college powerhouses could compete, if not win, against either of these teams. They run a PP in slow motion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodakvindy Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Russia wins to grab a bye and the #3 seed If U.S. can beat Canada in regulation, that would put Canada and Russia in the same quarterfinal bracket. If USA can grab that top seed, they would get the Swiss or Belarus in the quarters and in the opposite half of the bracket of the Canadians and Russians. Bottom 7 now set 7 Slovakia 8 Switzerland 9 Belarus 10 Norway 11 Germany 12 Latvia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
