[Joe MacMillan]

Lehtonen has been replaced with Niklas Bäckström.

Just wondering...

In pool play, will there be OT? I seem to remember the last few Olympics where they play only 60 minutes and if they end in a tie in regulation, the game is ruled a tie. Traditional rules with records...W-L-T and 2 points for a win and 1 point for a tie? Thanks!

The Olympics are under IIHF rules and therefore the "pool play" or "round-robin" is only 60 minutes, no overtime and the games can end in a tie. The "traditional" way.

Thought it was going to be that way but I wasn't totally sure if the new NHL rules might creep into the Olympics and they'd have shootouts in the prelims. Thanks...

Russian roster change : Sergei Zhukov instead of Denis Kulyash.

This is confusing... first Kulyash and Zhukov were going to be on the team... then Vishnevski replaced Zhukov... but now Zhukov is replacing Kulyash??

when you look at it this way, it really sounds funny!

Why did Victor Ignatjevs reported get kicked off of the Latvian team?

Secondly, why don't any websites have these teams' jersey numbers?

Antti Miettinen und Niklas Hagman won't join Team Finland

Vishnevski replaced Zhitnik. Not sure who Zhukov is.

 

[Leo Naphta]

Does anyone have a link to a site that lists the complete rosters with shirt numbers?

 

[Owen]

Vishnevski replaced Zhitnik. Not sure who Zhukov is.

Don't exactly take the IIHF.com news as certain. There are loads of mistakes and haven't even covered all of the replacements.

Kulyash replaced Bykov.
Zhukov replaced Zhitnik.
Vishnevski replaced Kulyash.

where do you guys get the scores?

Through the official site of the Olympics, as reported in the stickied thread 'introduction to the ..'

http://www.torino2006.org/ENG/OlympicGames/home/index.html

look on the right..

Now that things are underway we don't need this as a stickied thread. It's getting cluttered up there.

 

[helicecopter]

I don't know why this thread was not a sticky anymore..

anyway, this is what i was searching for:

Wednesday 22nd February - Quarterfinals
16.30 (1) A1 - B4
17.30 (2) A2 - B3
20.30 (3) B2 - A3
21.30 (4) B1 - A4

Friday 24th February - Semifinals
16.30 (A) Winner 1 - Winner 3
21.00 (B) Winner 2 - Winner 4

Saturday 25th February - Bronze Medal Game
20.30 Loser A - Loser B

Sunday 26th February - Gold Medal Game
14.00 Winner A - Winner B

 

[helicecopter]

another joke is that all group B teams (the winner as well) will have less hours to rest than the teams from group A (the fourth as well).

Will the best classified teams have at least the advantage of the last change?!?

I was wondering what happened to this thread
