Tsiouxnami Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 End of 1st Canada/Russia game - 0-0. Brodeur has to be strong again today as Russia outplayed Canada that period. Scoring chances were around 8 or 9 to about 2 or 3. Canada better pick up their play as I don't think Brodeur will be able to keep Malkin and Ovechkin off the board the whole game. And I don't think Nabokov will let in the soft goals that Vokoun did yesterday either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WYOBISONMAN Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I do have to say I love seeing Chris Chelios in there.......something I like about seeing someone only 6 months younger than I playing!!!!! Other than that.....man we played like s&!t....I wathced it here in my office and it seemed like there was a real lack of discipline.....

Sioux_Hab-it Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Miller is a great goaltender, although, I don't feel goaltending was our biggest problem (contrary to what was being said before the tourney started). Finding the back of the net was such a struggle. I just don't get it. Canada's problem too. You would think with all that talent that they could score more than 3 goals in a game let alone the two shutouts they experienced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that.....man we played like s&!t....I wathced it here in my office and it seemed like there was a real lack of discipline..... Players like Chelios, Yzerman, Lemieux, Richter, etc. have earned the right to say "thanks, but it's time to pass the torch to a younger generation." That being said, I do hope that Chellie does that come 2010! If we can't find a quality defenseman younger than 49 years old to play in that Olympics, I'll vote PCM to be the new head of USA Hockey.

Tsiouxnami Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Start of 2nd. . . weird thing happened. Canada is sent to the box. (Bertuzzi is serving the diving penalty.) No one, including Canada's bench, the announcers, etc. seemed to know that a penalty had been assessed? (Must have been at the end of the 1st, as they had not even dropped the puck to start the 2nd.) The announcers commented on the fact that it was not on their official Olympic computer? Odd. . . . see, there is a conspiracy! On another note, Gagne is expected to return at some point in the game. When asked what the injury was the announcers were told "a lower body thing." Boy, that clears it right up, doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsiouxnami Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Canada kills off the penalty. Russia now takes one - about 3 minutes in. WOW, does that Russian team have speed though. One of their forwards just split the Canadian D-men and did they look silly. Simply turned on the jets and blew right between them both.

Tsiouxnami Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Canada's problem too. You would think with all that talent that they could score more than 3 goals in a game let alone the two shutouts they experienced. I think Canada should be more concerned than the US with their lack of scoring. With the fire-power they have on that team. . . . . . .ouch!

MafiaMan Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 You're my hero, Tsiouxnami...even if no one else is following along. Canuck isn't online today...I bet he's watching the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhhh, geez!! You really know how to make a girl blush!! HA! Just glad to see someone is following along. Canada seems to be following USA's lead. Playing rather undisciplined hockey and taking some stupid penalties. It will only be a matter of time until Russia makes them pay!

Tsiouxnami Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 In the other game, 5 1/2 minutes into the 1st Czech and Slovakia (Wow, that seems weird!) are 0-0. (I LOVE this, so much hockey - not enough tv's!! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsiouxnami Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Iginla/Sakic just had a GREAT 2-on-1 short handed scoring chance. Stoned by Nabokov. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsiouxnami Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Canada is playing with some life right now. Some great power play scoring chances. Their line of Smyth, Lecavalier and St. Louis is playing very well! 2nd period comes to a close. . . . .still scoreless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsiouxnami Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Sounds like the Czech goal was a short handed break away by Ruchinsky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jloos Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 In the other game, 5 1/2 minutes into the 1st Czech and Slovakia (Wow, that seems weird!) are 0-0. (I LOVE this, so much hockey - not enough tv's!! ) I want your job. When will the US learn how to pick players for international competition. Hatcher? He is a great NHL player, but he just does not have the spead. I thought they started getting things right during the last Olympics with more spead and skill (Housley, York and Deadmarsh). The problem with this years team had something to do with the coaching IMO. Herb Brooks obviously knew what he was doing, I am sure there are a few others in the USA hockey system who can figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boxscore on nbcolympics.com shows the penalty for "Abuse of Official by Players/Team Officials". Did they say anything else about that?
