dmann422 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Since this is the all purpose Olympic thread, has anyone else found nbc's coverage of the actual sports lacking? I mean I was watching last night in prime time for a half hour and the only actual events I saw were two female skeleton runs (about 55 seconds each). The rest was in studio, athlete expose and interviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brown Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 What I love about the Olympics is that since goal differential is essentially the first tie breaker, teams go all in for the entire game to try and score as many goals as possible. Even if a team is getting blown out like the Fins are currently doing to Norway, Norway is still playing hard as of it's a one goal game.

Marshall Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I fully support shipping Sal, Volch, and Harrold to whoever will take them, and signing this Tollefson guy. Anyone remember how he was with Columbus or Philly? Bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Brown Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Slovenia is the only team that doesn't use its flag colors in their uniforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoffeecake Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Slovenia is the only team that doesn't use its flag colors in their uniforms. They often use green and yellow, at least in soccer. But, speaking of Slovenia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brown Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) Ok now our 7-1 over Slovakia doesn't seem as impressive. 3-0 Slovenia. Slovenia wins!!!!!!!!!!! Sucks Kristan lost the shutout though. Edited February 15, 2014 by Mike Brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Brown Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 So far Datsyuk and Malkin are playing well for Russia. Ovechkin and Kovy have been meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucifersDog Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 What? We are getting worked. True our PK is good it's still tied and Quick is awesome. We Need DeBoer's system Dump and Run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils Dose Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 What? We are getting worked.The matchup has definitely NOT been even, but it hasn't been terrible either. The two main problems for US have been 1.A lot of dump and chase that gets cleared too quickly and easily 2.Too big of a faceoff disparity.

MadDog2020 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 What a pass by Kane, what a shot by Pavelski 2-1!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brown Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 What a fvcking pass by Kane! The pk would be the biggest reason for this win if we hold on. The Ryans in this game have been phenomenal. Kesler, Callahan, and McDonagh have been our best players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
