What are the odds that Ovechkin challenges Sid the Kid to a fight at center ice in the next game :thefinger

Hopefully, Ovechkin takes out Crosby just like he did Jagr.

Only this time the Russians don't score, of course.

russia s gonna win it

russia s gonna win it

I think they might win as well. Let's keep in mind the history of the Russians here: they ran olympic hockey for decades. Long tradition there. Plus they are more rested. It will come down to goaltending.

CTV said that Canada is 1-9 against the Russians/Soviets.

Of course, that doesn't matter cause we are now up 1-0.

Bets on when they pull Nabokov?

I'm surprised that they haven't yet.

How much did the Canadians pay Nabokov to play like that. That was a disgraceful performance.

7-3 looks like we have a game
go Canada

I guess enough

Goddamn it. I'm glad Canada is winning, but now I'm going to have to sit through another four years of everyone saying "Ooo Crosby is better than Ovechkin cause Canada beat Russia..."

 

[lurkingdirk]

There's a full period left to play. Let's not count chickens. Crazy shit can happen.

But I'm liking it so far!

Its not over yet

Crosby & Ovechkin aren't doing much YET

Last time Canada beat those commie bastards was 50 years ago. The last time the USA beat Canada (prior to a few days ago ) was likewise 50 years ago - for the gold. I would like to now see a US/Canada final, but I have a feeling the US would get the crap kicked out of them unless the MVP comes up big again.

I love this drama in the third period. That hit on Boyle was great. :hatsoff:

Would be fun to see Canada and US go for the gold. Still have to win their next games first

Well that was a waste of time.

Four medals for Canada too. New national holiday?

The bobsleighing track is brutal. Several ugly crashes today.

Brutal indeed. They should regret this track (said the Canadian). It was badly designed, I believe.
