yzerman19 Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 I generally root for North America, but the canadian fans' attitudes about us turns me into a Sweden fan...that and a quarter of my ancestors came from there. Quote

Yeah, I've got to be a Sweden fan too. Can never cheer for Russa, can't cheer for Canada. Maybe Finland will pull some magic. I guess I'd rather see Russia before Canada....yikes.....sad but true.

sioux rube Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Terrible effort by the US in the 3rd. Russia clogged the middle and couldn't get good looks in close. Special teams were the difference and the reffing was iffy at best. I blame Lucia. Quote

crb1 Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 That's what you get with a Gopher Coach and no Sioux players on the roster. 3 Quote

Special teams were the difference and the reffing was iffy at best. I blame Lucia. I'm not going to throw Lucia under the bus, but why on earth didn't they switch up the powerplay when Russia was going pressure box the entire time? Zero good opportunities on the powerplay at the end when it was the most pivotal. I DVR'd the game and went back and looked at those checking from behind plays again and I'm not sure what the official was looking at. Russia got away with three of them.....stupid. Quote
Wilbur Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Update: Czech's 3 Finns 1 Late in the second period. Quote
Wilbur Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Are the games online at all? U.S. games were on nhl.com. But they don't have any more games.... Currently looking at where I can possibly watch a game online, but not having any luck. Quote
Wilbur Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 3-2 Czech's now late in the second period. Quote
MafiaMan Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 NHL Network is showing the games...Finns tie it up! Quote

Canada got away with one against the US, that game seemed like every penalty was going to be called against the US as the game went on. Quote
MafiaMan Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Bring in a Gopher head coach....no hardware....epic collapse. You and a few other posters are aware of how well Dean Blais' 2012 team finished, right? 2010 was awesome...2012 not-so-much. Quote
stoneySIOUX Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Are the games online at all? Firstrowsports.eu Lots of popups, but also plenty of links to the games. I've watched games here all week! Quote
Wilbur Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 And the Finns take the lead 4-3! Ruuvi Kanada, go Suomi! Quote
Wilbur Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 ENG...5-3 is your final. Finland vs. Canada Saturday. Of course I'm giving the Swiss NO CHANCE at beating Canada. Hear that SWITZERLAND! ZERO CHANCE! No way they score on God....errr...Fucale.... Quote
Hayduke Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Finland vs. Canada Saturday. Of course I'm giving the Swiss NO CHANCE at beating Canada. Hear that SWITZERLAND! ZERO CHANCE! No way they score on God....errr...Fucale.... I declare Saturday, "Blue and White Saturday" Go Finland! Quote

MafiaMan Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 You are aware I was joking right? I thought you might be...wasn't sure of the other two as anti-Lucia venom is pretty high around here sometimes. Quote
sagard Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Very disappointed that they didn't learn that discipline matters vs. Canada. I hate the Russians. Please let them lose their next two. Have we ever beaten them at the WJC? Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Very disappointed that they didn't learn that discipline matters vs. Canada. I hate the Russians. Please let them lose their next two. Have we ever beaten them at the WJC? I think we have, but I don't remember what year it was. That said, I am sick of losing to Team Putin on an international stage. They are the least classy team at this tournament year after year. And shame on Canadians for cheering for them; birds of a feather flock together, right? Quote
Ray77 Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 A friend just texted me - he's listening to Ray Ferraro on the radio and Ferraro said that a couple of the USA players were surprised to find out after the loss that they were out of the tournament. I hope that's not true... Quote
