Russia/USA Hockey Game Thread

So I'm figuring with everyone making the playoffs for medals, my guess is there is no OT for this game if tied?

Plommer, JVR putting one in would be nice!

He's putting lots in for the Leafs that's for sure.

Seems that Radulov is trying to make some plays (drop passes) but teammates aren't on board. Penalty kill likely to be a problem for Russia. Cant take penalties. Overall play looks ok.
I wish there was more forechecking. Not enough teamwork/movement in the offensive zone.

Radulov!!! LOL

Don't post the final score. I'm taping it.

OT is similar to the NHL in this round.

 

[MrMonkey]

Didn't see that penalty at all!

Such a sweet assist by Kane! These guys look like they been practicing together for awhile!

 

[MrMonkey]

Wow!

OMG net off its post. NO GOAL. REfs still prolly on USA.

 

[Matty]

Stupid rule. Net was barely out.

 

[Boner_18]

Apparently not a rule in the NHL?

 

[FairWarning]

That will help my under.

It is a judgement call in the NHL if its slightly off.

Dumb penalty by Russia here.

 

[reno cool]

so I think a tie is good for both teams in terms of getting buy. Unless the other teams decide to tie. :sillysystem:

Using a shootout seems strange to me for Olympic hockey for the few games played with every game so very important!

Paul Stastny? I would have thought he was Czech.
