GDT: Olympic Hockey part II (US Finishes 2nd, Advances to Quarterfinals)

[PensBandwagonerNo272*]

He's clearly their best player this game.

Ivan's PP has 2 forwards behind the net setting up two guys at the point. No screens or movement. Really elementary level stuff.. and hardly worthy of the talent they have. If they are going to play that way it doesn't matter if they have Malkin or Datsyuk or Johnny Boogerwad playing back there. Pass left or pass right. Shoot. Repeat.

Expecting this team to get bounced real soon

What the hell is team Russia's infatuation with Radulov. He is on the ice 24/7 it seems.

I could see Rask and the Fins taking them out next round.

I'm not 100% certain Norway understands the objective of the game

the bbc commentar calls Radulov "the man who looks like he eats puppies for breakfast"

After the USA embarassment in front of Putin, i figured Radulov would be taken to the gulag.. not double shifted the rest of the tourny.

As Pens fans we should be happy. Malkin is going to be rested and well pissed off when he returns.

Just imagine how irked he'll be having, Crosby, Kunitz, Orpik, and Martin poking jabs at him if either Canada or USA win gold. How about the USA chants at the first home game when they get back?

I love all the respect Miller got when they played their first game back in 2010.

Sorry. Geno, you better win gold or you'll be in for a earful. If that's not enough motivation for him, God help him.

According to Ken Campbell of the hockey news, Kunitz is back with Sid. It's Kunitz, Sid, Bergeron with Benn moving down with Getzlaf and Perry. It seems to me that they are turning Sid's line into the shut down line. Let the other teams match their best players against Sid, and then let Getz, Toews, and Tavares lines do the scoring.

 

[Shrimper]

I love seeing the main board mad about Kunitz.

From everything i heard the players don't needle other players about winning in the Olympics, it means to much to the players to joke about it.

Its crazy. The guy is the Russian Ray Ferraro and gets treated like he's Makarov.

Today was another unimpressive win and I think FIN is going to hand them their ass.

Also another April type of game by Alex Semin.

I wouldn't put much stock into that. Friendly jabs will certainly take place.

Why is Latvia scoring goals?! Haha

i dig their kit. hopefully Blueger ends up being good enough to play for their team in the future. i'd totally buy a jersey.
