SiouxScore Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Finland has to clean up the turnovers if they are gonna have a chance to win this game. Also gotta make their chances count offensively as so far it seems like their best chances haven't even got on net. Quote
SiouxScore Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Finland gets the all important next goal to tie it 1-1 after Canada had pretty much been in control. Quote
cberkas Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Finland and Canada going to OT 1-1 Crosby got away with on at the end. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Tuned in at start of the 3rd...good hockey being played. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 So Finland vs Russia in quarterfinals. Wow! Quote
cberkas Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Canada and Finland could end up playing to very tough teams. Canada could play Switzerland and Finland should get Russia unless Norway pulls off a miracle. Quote
SiouxScore Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Rask was pretty good for Finland but both the goals he gave up to Doughty were kind of weak. Thought Finland was gonna win it on the blast by Salo and then thought they would get a powerplay when one of the Canadian players slashed the stick out of the Finland players hands while he was carrying the puck through the neutral zone but they pretty much put the whistles away late in the game.

SiouxScore Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Bracket should look like this 1. Sweden vs. 8.Slovenia/9.Austria 4.Finland vs. 5.Russia/12.Norway 2.USA vs. 7.Czech Republic/10.Slovakia 3.Canada vs. 6.Switzerland/11.Latvia Quote
cberkas Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Any predictions for the next round? Sweden vs. Slovenia Finland vs. Russia USA vs. Slovakia Canada vs. Switzerland Quote
MafiaMan Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Bracket should look like this 1. Sweden vs. 8.Slovenia/9.Austria 4.Finland vs. 5.Russia/12.Norway 2.USA vs. 7.Czech Republic/10.Slovakia 3.Canada vs. 6.Switzerland/11.Latvia Slovenia over Austria - Kopitar and the Seahawks aren't ready to go home yet. Russia over Norway - Ovie and the Russians will be in blow-out mode. Slovakia over the Czech Republic - just a hunch I have. Latvia over Switzerland - The riddle of Hiller gets solved by The Latvians. And the Swiss can't score themselves. Quote
Sodbuster Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Just what is Canada's record in this tournament? I have missed seeing their scores this past few days somehow. Quote
MafiaMan Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Just what is Canada's record in this tournament? I have missed seeing their scores this past few days somehow. 3-1 win over Norway 6-0 over Austria 2-1 (OT) over Finland Quote
cberkas Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Just what is Canada's record in this tournament? I have missed seeing their scores this past few days somehow. Same as the USA 2 wins and 1 OT win Quote
MafiaMan Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Same as the USA 2 wins and 1 OT win USA was a shoot-out win...Canada was an OT win. TJ somebody-or-other apparently played a big role in the USA shoot-out win. Quote
cberkas Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 USA was a shoot-out win...Canada was an OT win. TJ somebody-or-other apparently played a big role in the USA shoot-out win. Shootout win is the same amount of points as a OT win. And shootout wins go down as OT wins in the Olympics. Quote

Latvia over Switzerland - The riddle of Hiller gets solved by The Latvians. And the Swiss can't score themselves. I'm with you on Slovenia and Russia. Cue Schloss on the play of Hiller and the "Checks" pound the Celebrex and Mutamucil to give the "Old Pro" beer league players around the world one more game to say "Hey I can make that move too".

sagard Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 What a bummer. The only thing left to hurt the US was a Canada OT win. Now we have a much tougher quarter and the Canada game will only be a semi. Quote

Now we have a much tougher quarter and the Canada game will only be a semi. Personally I like the matchup with Czech Republic or Slovakia better than having to play the Swiss but I would have liked to see Finland get the win and make Canada and Russia face each other in the quarters.

I agree. The Czech Republic and Slovakia are both struggling while Switzerland is gaining some confidence. I'd prefer to take my chances with the Czechs or Slovaks. Quote
