I woke up early for the first big game of the Olympics, USA and Russia.

The scoring power is REDICULOUS. Malkin, Ovechkin and Kovalchuk on one line

[El Kabong]

Well THAT was pretty fucking epic!

[El Kabong]

Seriously I can't remember a better game....wasn't even for a medal yet

[Beanflicker]

Great game, very evenly matched.

Gotta say, USA got real lucky with that disallowed goal. I think it's a stupid rule, I much rather the NHL rule in regards to a dislodged net. In the end, Quick knocked his own net dislodged his own net which made the Russian goal not count, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Yeah that made it a little disappointing

Those are the rules it so fuck it, fair play to the Americans.

TJ Oshie put on a master clinic in the shoot out, holy fuck.

It was great seeing Kovalchuk again too.

Those are two nasty teams

Here's a few non-Olympic questions for everyone:

1. Who is the best play by play and color man pairing for calling hockey?
2. Who is the best hockey analyst?
3. What are peoples' opinions on Don Cherry?


Now for the Olympics:
The Teams with the day off:
1. Sweden
2. USA
3. Canada
4. Finland

The matches coming up:
Slovenia-Austria winner to face 1. Sweden
Russia-Norway winner to face 4. Finland

Switzerland-Latvia winner to face 3. Canada
Slovakia-Czech Republic winner to face 2. USA

Who do you think advances?
Who has the hardest road to the finals?
Will the USA and Canada meet in the semifinals?
Can Russia rebound?
