The Olympic Ice Hockey thread.
So, predictions? I think it'll go like this:
Gold: Russia
Silver: Canada
Bonze: Slovakia
Right now I'm watching Russia vs. Slovakia. It's tied at 3-3 after the second period.
Gah, 5-3 to Slovakia. The real salt in the wound is that the winning two goals were scored in the last five minutes, by the same person. Russia's defence better step up, come to think of it offensively they were pretty poor as well. Something like 23 shots to Slovakia's 36.

The most I can predict is the following: Canada and Eastern European countries will play well and probably take home some sort of prize. Wasn't that exciting? It will be a big change from the last winter olympics, when the more obvious powerhouses of Tanzania, New Guinea, and Ecuador took home the medals. And I think it's about time these smaller places where people also like hockey get recognized.

Finland won 6-0.
Russia has definitely stepped up it's game from yesterday, with the defencemen providing a much improved performance to aid in the Sweden's defeat: 5-0!

CANADIANS AND AMERICANS CALL IT "HOCKEY" WHEREAS EUROPEANS CALL IT "ICE HOCKEY" BECAUSE IN EUROPE THERE ARE OTHER FORMS OF HOCKEY, MAINLY THE SPORT WHICH IS KNOWN AS "FIELD HOCKEY". HAVE YOU GOT THAT THROUGH YOUR BRAIN YOU DAMN CANUCK?
Canada's owning Germany at the moment, 4-1 and the end of the 2nd period. The Germans have only got about 8 shots on goal so far.

Got it. It just bugs me for some reason. And why would someone talk about Feild Hockey in the middle of winter? I dont think its a part of the Olympics anyway.
And yes, we are owning the Germans.

Because some countries (well, actually maybe just England) don't get winters. Some only get rain + snow.
Yep, the game ended with a final score of 5-1.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Canada by FAR has the best players, most depth, and most experience of any team. Not to mention the best coaching staff ever assembled. Russia...no worries, stop the Kovalchuk, Kovalev, and Ovechkin line...game over. Canada can roll 4 lines and still win, other teams cannot. To top that off Canada could make 2 teams and still end up with goal and silver.

Winters as in the Winter Olympics or winters as in the season? Because even if it doesnt snow, its still winter dude. But i get your point.

You've got a point there, but Russia's young line-up may be it's greatest strength. Some great fresh and hungry players. We'll just have to wait and see how events play out...

Well well, Canadians. Your team didn't do so well in the preliminary round. They're facing Russia today in a q. final, my prediction:
Russia - 3, Canada - 1

Definitely. I'm going for Finland to win, they've been air-tight this entire tournament. Plus I have a new respect towards them for doing so well against Russia.
The Bronze medal game is this evening, Russia vs. Czech Rep. I really do hope Russia walks away with at least a Bronze.

The Czech Republic has been itching to beat Russia at anything since 1968. Might as well give them this.

I doubt that's the origin of the Czech's general rabid hatred of Russians. I think it has more to do with the Soviet invasion in 1968. But you might be right.

Hahaha, well that completely flew over my head. I thought you were referring to a hockey-specific event.
Oh well, they still beat Russia at hockey in 1998, which in the context of this thread, renders your post false.

I would just like to point OUT, although indeed I am not a patriot or even very fond of my nation, that Tre Kronor just now made the TV room of this house inhabitable - my parents were watching the game - and became winners of the olympic games. Yet another gold to Sweden, not bad for a country with only marginally more than nine million inhabitants.

I kinda feel bad for the Finns as well, would have been nice to see them get the gold after getting their asses whipped in the curling events.
