OnAFly Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Pretty convincing win against the Czechs yesterday. I'm excited for the women's Gold Medal game today. I think I'll have to take a long lunch and watch the second/third or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 The Women's Gold game today should be a thriller. I hope we can stop Canada's hot streak of winning I believe the last 3 Gold medal games.We are good enough to hopefully break thier streak.

Bear55 Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 The Canucks haven't been able to come together up front and I think they'll have a real tough time getting enough scoring from the blue line to beat the US. Let's hope they didn't have a fire lit today with another close call. As much as I want to think we have the upper hand Canada is still Canada and they will be ready for us. I expect a pretty tight low scoring game. Hopefully Quick can display some of his 2012 form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yakfisher Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I am in no way discounting them and I know they will be ready. Just suggesting that the may have a confidence issue after playing several games and still not gelling. I just hope tomorrow isnt the day them "dirty Canucks" get it together.

RK Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Man how great are the semis going to be? Biggest rivalries in international hockey (Swedes/Finns, US/Canada) playing to get to the gold medal game? Gonna be coolI can't wait for the Women's game today. Actually home sick and it's one of the few times I can remember being happy about feeling like crud, cuz I'm home from work and can watch the game.Game should all come down to speed. If the US can use their speed on the big ice to get to the middle and break down the Canadian D, US wins. If the Canadians can keep the US to the outside and defend the middle, Canada wins...

fishing tech Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Canada is going to try and be physical. If the ref's don't let the cheap stuff and the grabbing go the USA team should have plenty of power play opportunities.I hope for good goals and a good game. I hate to see games with so much at stack decided by a fluke goal or ref's that don't want to call obvious penalties.Go USA Men and Women!!

harvey lee Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 USA women have thrown some hard hit's also.Hope the USA can keep the speed going but those hit's from the team from the north of us could take thier tole.Hope we can find gold on a few of the power play's soon.

Bear55 Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Just checked in on the Women's gold, the girls are flying out there, I'd hate to see what I would look like on that ice right now. 0-0 beginning of 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainMusky Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Just checked in on the Women's gold, the girls are flying out there, I'd hate to see what I would look like on that ice right now. I remember the first time I saw girls hockey, many years ago and I was not impressed at all, but I will tell you (which you already know Im sure) they have come a LONG way in a few short years.Man can these women (and girls) flat out play hockey now! So impressed. USA is up 1-0. Keep it up gals!!! And yes, I am with you, they would skate circles around me at this point in my career too. You would think I would be in a lot better shape for doing nothing but drink beer and eat hot wings all winter. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 THe USA has to stay out of the box, they will give up a goal soon giving Canada this many chaces in a pp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvey lee Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Cannot believe they gave up the last 2 goals so fast, must have thought they had it. Canada has been all over them. Faceoffs in the 3rd, all Canada.This does not look good as Canada has to be fltying high right now and the USA shocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear55 Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 US hit the post on a long open net, oh so close. 20 minute OT and then shootout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 The USA seemed to go back on thier heels and play all defense the last 7 minutes and sure enough, gave Canada enough time inside the USA zone and something bad will happen. I was hoping the USA would oplay the game that got them the 2-0 lead.Too bad the puck had to hit the pipe.Now I would guess the USA is rattled and down and they will have to pull out everything they have to hold a pumped up Team Canada from scoring.

fishing tech Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 The USA team can't keep giving up their blue line. Backing in to your goalie and letting Canada skate right in. USA needs a Dirty goal to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvey lee Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I have to ask, why the penality that took us away from a power play, what did she do wrong, even the announcer questioned that cheap call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Yes, Canada played well along with the USA, said part is, that call against the USA by Canada's net to take away the power play was a call that could have decided the outcome.

harvey lee Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I agree 100%, too bad maybe a bad call could have decided the game, without that call, we would have been on a pp and in the end, we ended up down 5 on 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
