Olympic Hockey: USA vs. Slovakia
 

Anybody watching ???? its the start of the 2rd period right now 1-1. The 1st period and second period was insane. This is a good game.

LOL you are kinda late...you guys lost... ;)

what kind of delay you're on. game ended about 2 hours ago. what a day. First Russians barely edge Kazakhstan, then Swiss upset Canada, Fins beat Czechs and Slovaks outscore USA? damn?

yup! Definitly a weird day in olympic hockey!...

NHL players Vs NHL Players for the most part. Anything can happen. I have a hard time taking some of these games serious when I see many of the players for the local teams playing for the other countries. Its just like a bunch of All Star games.

yup we lost again!

:mad:

Gonna be hard to make the medal round.

LOL I guess where on a huge delay. But what a great game. International rules suck, icing without touch up? fuck that.

US had alot of chances. Oh well. I didn't expect them to win today anyways.

Slovakia has got some great speed.

great game. congrats to our team for winnig :thumbsup

Slovakia are for real.. 3-0 so far

If I had been betting on those games I think I would have probably lost my shirt today.

I was quite surprised when they beat Russia, but I'm not anymore. Slovaks are a real good team.

Does that even make any sense?

with players like Hossa, Bondra, Satan, Gaborik, Demitra etc... and some good defense (Chara is unarguably one of the BEST defense in the NHL, if not THE best..)...yeah...I think it makes sense!...Although it IS surprising that they beat Russia....Russia's lineup is just incredible!...

imho it's all about team play, not nhl stars. every hockey team on olympics is full of super stars, e.g. in Czech team is Jagr, Hasek, .. and they lost game against Swiss team.

oh sure, team work is a huge part of it!...

having good players too ;) Did you see italy's team playing? They had some good team play!...but somehow...a lack of talent LOL ;)

Both are important!...and I have to admit the swiss team is a big surprise!...oh and...jagr and hasek arent playing now if im not mistaken??
