Oxbow6 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Better team won. USA looked gassed. Couldn't figure out how create anything in the offensive zone. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 On a positive side, how good is Quick This. Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 On a positive side, how good is Quick Sorry, I'm not into moral victories. I honestly don't care if they win Bronze or not. Quote
siouxweet Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 looks like the USA won their pseudo gold against Russia,with all the hoopla surrounding that win that meant virtually nothing except not having to play an extra game. Quote
MafiaMan Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Sorry, I'm not into moral victories. I honestly don't care if they win Bronze or not. I'm glad you're not on the team because I bet the players care. I know Finland's do. 1 Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I'm glad you're not on the team because I bet the players care. I know Finland's do. If I was on the team, I would obviously want to win Bronze. As a fan, however, I just don't care all that much. If that's a crime, then I plead guilty as charged. Quote

LOL...so we all wrap ourselves in USA flags and buy TJ Sochi t-shirts after what was essentially a meaningless pool play victory over Russia...and then not bother to watch the bronze medal game at all? C'mon, Oxbow6, I know you'll be up early Sunday tomorrow morning watching Team USA slug it out against the Finns. Right? Edited February 21, 2014 by MafiaMan 1 Quote

Oxbow6 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Will probably even get up Sunday at 6am CT to watch gold medal game too. I don't sleep much......... Quote
cberkas Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 We suck at Olympics. This year as a whole the USA didn't do well. Alpine, Snowboarding, Freestyle Skiing, and Speed Skating are events the USA is usually in medal contention. It will be interesting what happens in 2018 with the NHL. I think without NHL players the USA and Canada will be at a disadvantage compared to the European countries that will bring in players from the pro leagues like the KHL. Quote

C'mon, Oxbow6, I know you'll be up early Sunday morning watching Team USA slug it out against the Finns. Right? I haven't watched any of the games, so I guess I'll stay consistent about it. Quote

C'mon, Oxbow6, I know you'll be up early Sunday morning watching Team USA slug it out against the Finns. Right? It's kind of like the consolation bracket in the ND State Hockey Tournament; it's just hard to get up for it. Quote
MafiaMan Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 No...but I'll be up watching them tomorrow at 9am CT go for the bronze! I'll just watch the replay like johndahl...but don't worry, I'll post updates here for everyone. Quote

johndahl Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Mafia, not a bad idea. I still have the 1980 game on DVD around here someplace... Quote
geaux_sioux Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Sorry, I'm not into moral victories. I honestly don't care if they win Bronze or not. That's not a moral victory. Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 That's not a moral victory. The first sentence was referring to today's game and the performance of Jonathan Quick in a losing effort. The second sentence was referring to my lack of excitement as a fan regarding the Bronze medal game. Hope that clarifies it for you. Quote
MafiaMan Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Mafia, not a bad idea. I still have the 1980 game on DVD around here someplace... I'm going to watch the replay of the US/Canada game...hopefully we'll win this time. Quote
ericpnelson Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I'll be up at 9 am... possibly making bloody mary's. These colors don't run. 1 Quote
