actually after eight games if you bet all the overs you would have lost money (vig)
o/u are 4-4 right now
it's not on tv.

nbc can suck a louisville slugger.
It's on NBCSN.
How infuriating is it watching JVR develop into a complete player...then watching the slow plodding waste we got in return for him. I was never the biggest JVR guy but what a horrible trade.
the talent discrepancy in this game is comical....during that four on four russia had ovechkin and malkin up front
that said i disagree with that milbury said about the us getting dominated for 40 minutes....5 on 5 they held their own....but once russia gets on the pp they are unreal and the us has to avoid getting mixed up in things that will lead to matching penalties
Quick is a farging stud
that poor dood is going to the gulag after the game
cant put them on the pp
Datsyuk ain't too bad either. Great screen in front
holy shtein.....no one can complain about a home country advantage
The net was off its moorings...is that the official reason?
i hope...they dont give a reason in the olympics.......at least that would be a proper (if cheesy) call....the high stick would have been criminal

It's what they made it sound like. Apparently in the Olympics if it's off at all, it's no goal. That goal would have counted in the NHL.
Unless Quick stands on his head the Ruskkies should dominate this shoot out
yup...they have all the skill but quick could easily negate that
its probably going to be 3-1 russia or 1-0 america
why do the same guys get to go twice....this is awful
The shootout is already ridiculous. The fact that the same guy can take a shot eleventy billion times in a row takes it beyond that.
What a stupid farging way to ruin what was a great game.
yeah that was a complete joke
Shoot outs are a joke...play until you win. Only the strong shall survive.
agreed....but the international format is ten times worse
The US loses this game by NHL rules. That no goal because the net was off it's moorings, plus no way they win the shootout if Oshie can't take every shot. Quick was fantastic but they lucked out. Whatever, I'll take it. USA USA USA USA.
The US wins a thriller and people here still find multiple reasons to whine.
Amazing.

Put yourself on the opposite end. If the US loses on a goal that was disallowed you'd be bitching up a storm.
romey is a super homer for his regular sports teams....i cant even imagine how he is for the usa
me personally i just cant muster up the energy to be a fake patriot once every four years....not saying romey is faking his patriotism....but the olympics for most people are like the people who only go to church on christmas
but even if you are really into olympic hockey this game meant less than nothing.....both teams are locks to be in the medal round....I laughed when pierre was interviewing oshie and he was like how do you perform under that kind of pressure....you could tell oshie wanted to say well there was no pressure because this game meant shtein but he gave some cliché ridden answer instead....its sickening how much nbc is making this into the event of our lives....and of course the sheep will follow

JVR shines in things like the Olympics or the World Jr's because the physical part of the game really isn't there unless you play the Canadians. Thus he's all world until someone hits his sissy mouth.

yup...i slept through it.
its essentially a warm up game for the medal round. none of those teams have played with each other...its almost like a scrimmage.
not to mention people were trying to make this out to be miracle on ice II. these 2 countries have played eons of times since then...all players on both side are rich professionals...its just a farging hockey game. but you cant tell twitter that.
im glad i watched it....but jesus lets keep things in perspective here....and if i had missed it i wouldn't have cared at all
a 630 start time is a total dead zone for me....cant stay up/cant get up that early. for a gold medal final i woulda found a way but for some scrimmage prelim game that means nothing? no sir
i scrolled through my twitter feed when i got up...it was a disgrace. people who doing the "somewhere mike eurozione" is smiling bit. like this is the first time since 1980 the us and the ruskies are playing hockey.
the thing is most of those people don't really care about the game....they just wanna yell on twitter or facebook....the only people who truly care are like 75 year old recluses living in idaho who still think the cold war is on
and romey...who started off the day with some whining that he couldnt find the game even though its on the station that airs a ton of hockey
i love that old coot
no one better
and fyi he might care less than anyone about the game

You bitch when you lose, not when you win. Just so sick of coming to this place and reading the same nauseating defeatist shtein day after day.
PS: See the exchange above. Zzzzzzzz...
how is not caring whether they win or lose being defeatist...world cup im guilty as charged as I actively root against the u.s.....i dont get the attitude that you have to be IN just because its an international event...plus even if you are invested in the event all sd was doing is seeing the game as it was....is he supposed to not be honest because its america?
USA USA USA USA
mikey grabner son
and raffi comes right behind him
thats an unreal pk by austria
just absolute domination by norway but down 2-0....ill take it....have a real chance for big money after one...austria is really bad tho
also because there is nothing else on in btwn periods the us curling team is in a life or death match against canada
this is taking a rotten turn
ive been convinced.....curling is the stupidest farging event ever
this is the most ridiculous domination ive ever seen for a team that might lose a game
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
WE are playing a very good game today. WE had a lull after getting an early lead but WE were totally dominating in the final 10 minutes of the second.
4-0 end of two.
I'm American, so I root for the USA. Do I get bent out of shape if they don't win? No. But I like to see my countrymen do well.
You mean you don't actively root against our country?
How MA of you.

They hit an all time board low on page 3. They don't realize it but they're acting like hipsters. Same mentality, different subject. It's almost as bad as posting a Metallica video then having a bunch of people post older ones trying to one up the previous poster.
Ha!

i guess were going to get lumped in together but havas the anti american one and im the one who is IN on any team usa event.
Face it, you're the 9 to his 6.
Here's the bracket:
1 Sweden
8 Slovenia vs 9 Austria
4 Finland
5 Russia vs 12 Norway
3 Canada
6 Switzerland vs 11 Latvia
2 USA
7 Czech Republic vs 10 Slovakia
im only anti american when it comes to soccer.....olympic hockey i just dont give a farg about....altho I might become a fan if it keeps fattening my pockets...but in general sorry everyone flyers >>>>>>>>>> america
and yeah i cant believe you would think the lil guy is anti american....hes as rah rah as you get on these things
that late goal in the us game was the only way i could win either bet and i won both
USA USA USA
though for the most part i am out on these Olympics...but maybe thats because the world cup is coming up and thats all that matters usa wise
still time down two with most of the third period left but russia is in trouble
Varlomov was pulled for Bob, Fins are just playing smart Finn hockey.
i wonder if i can get out of this game with no more goals......highly doubtful...probably get burnt by an empty netter....id almost rather have a goal before then
no way Russia doesnt score on this PP
i forgot you can watch this online. there goes my productivity today, at least until the us game is over
damn those stops by bob were potential huge under savers
o/u 4.5
game was 3-1 with 15 minutes left in the second period and the under still hits
amazing
Wow, Fins just shut them down. Loved Malkins Dive.
USA USA USA...
Took off today. I see many beers in my near future.
JVR JVR JVR JVR USA USA USA!!1231@!
REEEEEMER!
Nice job Homer you POS.
Beautiful goal. 2-1.
Boom!
Where all my homies at?
shtein, first live Olympic broadcast I've seen yet. Nice.
You live in paradise.
Zip it you.
canada up 37-11 in shots

one of the all time chokes in sports history....luckily for them no one cares about womens hockey

they are getting a free pass because theyre women, but it was a disgusting choke. but yes its womens hockey and it simply doesnt matter.
this ashley wagner is definitely a freak in the sack. i like her.
Yeah I bet she's a wild one.
I'd like to nail Julia mancuso she seems freaky too
I don't know shtein about figure skating but Yuna Kim is amazing. I thought she got hosed out of the gold.
Poor form Mr. Ho. You're supposed to talk about how hard you'd rail the freaky gook in bed.
Agree on all 3 posts. Wagner just has that look. Don Ho may bump into Mancuso at some point surfing in Maui, and Yuna Kim got robbed. How's that feel South Korea.....
Finland up 1-0 with 10 mins left in the 2nd. Finland is just impressive.
i dont know who any of these people are but i know they dont play hockey...take this shtein to the sassy sports thread ladies
2-1 Sweden over Finland. So Sweden is back in the final.
0-0 end of 1st.
16-11 shot advantage for Canada. I can't believe the US had that many shots. It felt like Canada had the puck the entire first period.
Is the entire US team from Philly? Because they choke like they are.
oh poor you
As usual your contribution is noted.
I wouldn't call today's game a choke. Canada was better roster-wise and they played a great defensive game.

The Flyers will continue to piss me off.
Even though the Flyers weren't playing they still managed to piss me off watching jvr
so is tj oshie still an american hero?
Forgot it was on, the bronze is irrelevant. If finishing in 3rd place got you a medal the Eagles would have more medals than any team in the league since 2000.
If there was actually something attached to it, the Eagles would have lost those games, too.

Nicklas Backstrom getting banned from the gold medal game because of Claritin is bullshtein. Canada gets another shutout and another gold. Whatever....Go Flyers
