GDT: Kazakhstan vs. Russia, Feb. 18, 11.30AM Torino, 5.30AM EST

[MOGiLNY]

anyways, I would like to take this opportunity to say:

Go Russia!!!

 

[Metallian*]

3 hours...

 

[Bonzi]

We should go through both Kazakhstan and Latvia without any difficulties, and what's more important, without inujries. It would be better if we come up to the game against the US without any problems...

 

[MOGiLNY]

i'm looking at dishnetwork channels, and all i seem to have is NBC.. the only CNBC channel is CNBC world and it doesn't seem like that one's going to show the game, or am i wrong?

 

[Slitty]

Where is Slitty? I need to hear what he says during Latvia vs. Russia games!!!

Sorry, I cant provide any entertainment this time around. I am still on the verge of banishment from Hfboards thanks to the warning points I picked up last time Latvia played Russia. Apparently I was being racist against Russians.

Anyways, they're already on the ice, taking some shooting drills.

And I didn't sleep well. I hope it's not the players' case.

[CSKA]

[shawn_kemp*]

this game can be called "Russia vs. Russia 5". 14 Russian citizens on the Kazakh squad!!!

 

[MOGiLNY]

Pakistan? woohoo! Go Pakistan!!!

 

[MOGiLNY]

Pakistan? woohoo! Go Pakistan!!!

Yeah, it's very exciting! Made me forget that there's a hockey game coming up!

 

[Ajacied]

Lousy PP for Russia there..

 

[Ajacied]

I love it how the Italians are rooting for the underdog so much in this tournament..

 

[shawn_kemp*]

Kazakhstan > Russia

I've the impression of watching some crappy RSL game

 

[MOGiLNY]

Big save by Nabokov!

 

[calgarylen13]

I love it how the Italians are rooting for the underdog so much in this tournament..

Thats the Italian way, always support the underdog (unless its against Italy)

 

[Kaizer]

It looks like SUI vs. CZE so far

 

[Chimpradamus]

Italy almost always IS the underdog, so that's no problem with that philosophy.

 

[calgarylen13]

Italy almost always IS the underdog, so that's no problem with that philosophy.

And thats why we enjoy cheering for the underdog so much, it usually is Italy...but if you take World Cup football for example, the Italians enjoy watching the middle-lower ranked teams win (eg. South Korea) as long as its not against Italy

 

[CSKA]

What a crappy game ! The only spotlight : Nabokov !

 

[calgarylen13]

What a crappy game ! The only spotlight : Nabokov !

I'm really concerned about Nabokov playing this game...only because it sets up for the perfect upset victory by Kazakhstan

 

[Chimpradamus]

Crappy indeed. I'm sorry that I jinxed the Russian team by selecting Nabokov and Malkin for my dream team this round.

Penalty Malkin for roughing. Damn you Malkin! That's -2 points!

 

[CSKA]

malkin
