Olympic Hockey Thread...
...men's hockey. I hope the US women do well, but I'd rather watch curling.
Anyway, to start things off, I am a Rangers fan and I have the utmost respect for Chris Drury but does he belong on the team? Yeah, leadership and clutch and blah blah blah but he hasn't been all that clutch since leaving Buffalo and the Rangers have frequently been lazy and indifferent with him wearing the C. I say his spot should've gone to someone with speed, skill, and something to prove. Regardless, I think we're only going as far as the goalies take us but anything can happen in a single elimination tournament so it will definitely be interesting.
By the way, I don't intend this to be a USA only thread. I am looking forward to reading all the bitching and moaning while/when you canucks choke.
My predictions:
Gold: Sweden (repeating w/Lundqvist as the unofficial MVP)
Silver: Czech Republic (w/Jagr proving he's still the best player the NHL has seen since Lemieux)
Bronze: USA (beating an indifferent Canada in the consolation game)

No russia ?
They are crazy deep up front and really want this one.
IMHO Sweden doesn't have the fire power to hang with the big boys on N/A sized rinks and Canada just has too much pressure.
Gold:Russia
Silver: Canada
Bronze: SwedenYou're gonna stand there, owning a fireworks stand, and tell me you don't have no whistling bungholes, no spleen spliters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker donts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers, with or without the scooter stick, or one single whistling kitty chaser?

Fuck Russia. Former commy fucks.
Actually, you're right. If Russia doesn't get at least silver I'll be surprised. Just wanted to be controversial.
And as for Sweden not having the firepower, that's where Hank comes in.If you've never seen an elephant ski, you've never been on acid.

I just caught a glimpse of the Swiss womens' coach. That's the scariest human? I've ever seen in my life. There's no way I'm sleeping right tonight.

Does the USA team suck that much?
Gold: Canada
Silver: Russia
Bronze: USA [Miller will have learned to watch the puck instead of the players in front of the net.]Something about the wrinkle in your forehead tells me there's a fit about to get thrown
And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.

So it looks as if Tomas Holmstrom is out...but Johan Franzen will be taking his place, don't know how that's gonna affect SWE. What do you guys think about this whole goalie mask debacle? I say just let em play, fuck the bullshit regulations. It'll look pretty funny if Team USA's goalies are skating around with electrical tape hanging off thier masks though...maybe it'll add fuel to the fire, i dunno. And although miller does have a tendancy to do that Tye 1on, a few games i watched him play at state he was Mr. Stonwall Jackson II. We'll see how far he takes us!

Miller is exhausted dude see's 3 on 1's all night and now he has to play more games on another team in which he has to stand on his head for them to win.
I just don't see that happening when you play a team like Canada or Russia who can ice a line of Ovechkin, Malkin and Datsyuk/Kovalchuk.You're gonna stand there, owning a fireworks stand, and tell me you don't have no whistling bungholes, no spleen spliters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker donts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers, with or without the scooter stick, or one single whistling kitty chaser?

That's because the first round starts today, see there is this thing called the NHL and they don't like playing the Stanley Cup in August so Olympic hockey couldn't start before today as the athletes do need time to get to Vancouver.

Huh haven't seen any hockey yet, didn't know it was in the Olympics this time around.
Saw Asian (China maybe)Figure Skaters throwing a football around though while I was waiting for the the rest of the downhillers to go and for the final round of boarder cross. Thought maybe Asian Figure Skater football had replaced hockey. Originally Posted by Tunco perfectly summarizing TGR

Lots of people think that smaller ice is more conducive to offence, or at least less conducive to boring defensive stuff like the trap. It certainly keeps the energy in the game.
Canada looks good - glad to see Iggy get onto the first line and notch the hat trick!
