BillyVance 35 #128 February 26, 2010 USA is already up 1-0 on Finland less than 3 minutes into the 1st quarter, thanks to the boneheaded Finn's goalie coming waaaay out from the goal.

We need to wait to see the result of tonight's Canada/Slovakia game before we know the answer to this question.

virgin-burner 1 #139 February 26, 2010 Quote Heard during Czech vs Russian Hockey . . . One announcer asks the other, "What language are they speaking down there?" To which the other announcer answers, "On the Czech bench they're speaking Czech, on the Russian bench they're speaking Russian. And on the ice, to each other they use English, but it ain't very nice." LOL . . .

BillyVance 35 #140 February 26, 2010 Well, the USA wins 6-1 over Finland. But basically, the game was over after USA took a 6-0 lead into the locker room after the 1st period and 2nd periods. I don't know whether Finland tightened up and played better or the USA just coasted. But the undefeated USA team is in the Gold Medal game! Fuck yeah!

CanuckInUSA 0 #148 February 27, 2010 Quote Canada up 2-0 over Sweden near the end of the 1st. But but curling is over and we already know Sweden won. Quote Uuh yeah.... I agree, but it's Canada that will have to bring their 'A' game if they want to have a chance. USA already beat Canada once. The first game is meaningless. But I do agree that Canada will have to bring their "A" game. Of course so will the USA. It looks like Slovakia started off playing the semi-final trying to take the game into a 0-0 overtime tie and try their luck winning the game in the shootout. Can you blame them? After what the USA did this afternoon to Finland. But with the two Canadian goals, the Slovaks will not be able to sit back. They are going to have to open up sooner or later and when they do they better not hope they get caught. Looking good so far for a Canada/USA Gold Medal rematch. But 20 minutes does not make a game. Go get'em Canada. Keep the pressure on and don't get lazy with the backchecking. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry I will have to catch the short track speed skating hilights later. I was a little preoccupied watching the hockey game to care about speed skating. BTW ... did anyone notice that Canada and Slovakia swapped uniforms in the 3rd period? ROFLMAO ... Dang Slovaks almost gave me a heart attack with 11 seconds left in the game.
