Congrats to the Latvian team and Ted Nolan for getting this far in the Olympic tournament.
Thumps down and a big fuck you to the mediots that have nothing good to say and literally laugh off the Latvians as a near joke, to them. Canadians are (still ?) known world-wide for being polite, friendly and respectful. Find some of that you sick fucks.
In high school I dated a small, plucky fun farm gal from Estonia. Man, if you think we are proud of our nation and roots, she was just wow. Also, her Mom was a blonde bombshell who wouldn't stop feeding me potato piggies (kinda like perogies)! NTTIAWWT.
all that time we spent trying to corner the Belarussian and Swiss Hockey, we should have been working on Lativia and Slovania. If Lake Louise had a castle and a fairy tail island it would be Bled.
Speaking of the Ukranie, this is a proxy war, Saudis leading the rebels and Russians leading the evil empire. As for the people, as usual no one cares about them.
To nite I am going to check out something outside of my usual genre, its a conspiracy movie http://www.watchfreemovies.ch/watch-movies/2012/watch-the-conspiracy-99381847/
Looking at the medal table a lot tonight. I predict we'll end up in the 23-25 medal range. 3 out of hockey / curling, 2 out of long and short track, a bobsled or two and something random. Short of Vancouver. Back in Albertville or Salt Lake or something you'd have killed for 23-25, but it seems to me that's short of expectations. Higher expectations are good I guess?
Rooting for our x-country sprint relay teams tomorrow morning. Each has a chance. I want a medal there bad.
Just read an article about the big three in Hamliton. I could be wrong but it said that Breeze-By was giving Tinordi advice on the physical side of playing D ... like how and when to hit .... I must have had an acid flashback. What does Breeze-By know about hitting. Go Habs
Just seeing the pic of +76 and Marty makes me swell with pride and yet makes me angry about the smut the fucking cockroaches spread about him. +76 exudes sportsmanship and definitely one hell of a teammate. A real pro through and through!
Well Babcock is making life easier for DGMB. PFK according to the market as the seventh best d man in the world is worth six point seven per season. More if he dresses for games.
Canada and Latvia have met on only one prior occasion at the Olympics, with the Canadians winning an 11-0 blowout at the 1936 Games in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. Latvia's best-ever result against Canada at the men's level came at the 1997 IIHF World Championships where they earned a 3-3 draw.
This just in. Harper as a favour to the CBC, something about not having Rex Murphy committed, is using one of our C17 to fly in some special cargo.Yes sports fans, there will be a Kesseltracker for the semi;s.
I guess nobody gets their passports back. I just checked some stats and didn't see Ovie's name. I hear Siberia is nice this time of year. Go Canada Go Habs
And of course after the first two short paragraphs about Russia losing on CBC, it goes straight to "Prior to the start of the Olympic Games, Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nikolai Kulemin told CBC..."
Hey CBC, if erection lasts longer than 67 years, consult a doctor.
Gp Camada Go Make those Latvians ask Estonia for help, and feel like Lithuanians facing Paul Bunyan. In between games I completed a ZSRDF reconnaissance, astounding findings, will blog about it after the game.
Lativia has major weakness, they dressed a guy named syphilis. Sure we are giving him lots of room on the ice, but that stuff will literally kill a team. CArey you fat whale on the breakaway, stand up FFS. Crosby should lose his C if he does not want to play. PFK would not play with a broken stick just saying.
Ironicly at these anti Gay games, we have the Gayest hockey sweaters ever, all sprinkled with Gay shinny vinyl like some fashion challenge where you have to use plastic. To top it off Putin brings cocksucking Tim Peel over to ref.
I just logged on to say the same thing. Too bad the media generated hate towards the black man has swayed Babcocks views of PK. Or who knows, maybe he has the same beliefs.
1ST PERIOD: USA 1:39 - JAMES VAN RIEMSDYK CZE 4:31 - ALES HEMSKY USA 14:38 - DUSTIN BROWN USA 19:58 - DAVID BACKES 2ND PERIOD: USA 9:31 (PPG) - ZACH PARISE
Any Latvian player without an NHL contract (except syphilis), calling DGMB, especially the goalie. But the real prize is Pavlovs, if he has a dog, best mascot ever.
SOCHI -- Goaltender Carey Price hit the ice for Canada's pregame skate Wednesday to prepare for the quarterfinal matchup with Latvia later that night and took his usual spot in front of his net.
His Montreal Canadiens teammate, defenseman P.K. Subban, immediately skated over, grabbed a pile of pucks and offered to warm up Price prior to the skate, diligently shooting pucks first to his glove hand, then his blocker side.
This is the role Subban has been given for Canada. He is there to practice and keep the players who will participate in the games sharp.
Aside from Canada's second game of the tournament, a 6-0 win against Austria, Subban has not been in uniform for any games.
It's not easy for the reigning Norris Trophy-winner, who plays 25 minutes a night for the Canadiens and leads them in scoring with 39 points in 59 games.
That's a higher point total than every defenseman on the Canadian team except Duncan Keith and Alex Pietrangelo, yet by all accounts, Subban is taking his diminished role here in stride.
"He's been excellent," Canada coach Mike Babcock said. "He won the Norris Trophy. He's a proud guy, and he's here and he doesn't get to dress. Nobody is probably thrilled about that. Those are hard decisions that we make and in the end they've got to live it. That doesn't mean they've got to like it."
Babcock's pairings on defense have not changed since Canada arrived in Sochi, and he's had little reason to. Canada has allowed two goals in three games and its goaltenders have faced 58 shots, or just over 19 per game.
Though Subban is the only defenseman who isn't dressing, Dan Hamhuis is in somewhat the same position. He is Babcock's seventh defenseman, largely because he plays on the left side and also because he is sometimes used on the penalty kill, but he hardly plays. In Canada's most-recent game, a 2-1 overtime win against Finland to close the preliminary round, Hamhuis had seven shifts for 3:58 of ice time.
For each of them and the two forwards who are either scratched or dressed as the 13th man on the bench, it is a difficult adjustment to make in the hopes of earning a significant reward at the end -- an Olympic gold medal.
"You're here to be a good pro and a good teammate and as it's not about me and it's not him, it's about Canada," Babcock said. "As long as we all remember that, we're fine."
i finally found a feed forr the game on the BBC - what a load of shit that period was. all outside and almost no atmosphere. +76 should use this experience when he gets back to the Bell Centre as play out of his mind for the rest of the season. When he wins the Norris again, his acceptance speech starts with 3 words...FUCK YOU BABCOCK
I hate to say this, but upthread I said Canada was getting 3 medals out of hockey / curling. I thought one team would come up short. As both curling teams and the women hockey are all guaranteed at least silver now, that leaves one team to come up short...
For anyone that did not hear Heely, the Latvin goalie was a Lightning pick as an overager last year. Right now he plays in the EHCL, but with Bishop and That Latvin they are looking prettty good in net.
I just realized some assham scheduled a mandatory meeting at 2pm on Friday fucking afternoon! Any word on whether the Canadians play the early (8am AST)or late game(1pm AST)?
Finally got done watching the recorded game and read all the comments.
I can't decide whether the Latvian goalie played the game of his life of the so-called Canadian sharpshooters made him look good. I think the fact the Latvians were collapsing 5 men and hoping to get to a shootout had something to do with it. There was no room to do anything in front of the Latvian goal and just blasting away from the point hoping something would get through seemed to be the Canadian strategy. It finally worked only because there was one less maroon sweater there when Weber scored.
I know we (FHFers) all want PK to play but I wonder if he would really make that much difference, they already have one rover in Doughty. Still, I think PK is a better option than Vlasic but PK doesn't play "that side". Oh well.
Canada vs USA, this is the one where Carey really has to come to the forefront. The Yanks are scoring goals in droves and Canada can't buy one. This one is up to Carey IMHO and I hope he comes through because the fucking cockroaches and Toronto media will crucify him if he doesn't.
I 'm leaving work before noon on Friday, got an appointment with a hockey game. I feel bad for Pricey, he still can't afford to let in more than one goal with this bunch of offense. No different than playing for the Habs, poor guy. Does anyone think PK will be in the lineup Friday?
Agree on Carey having to be superhuman to just get some decent praise. Sadly I can't see Babcock and the Execs giving +76 a chance in the next game. Going to try and put my finger on why both Habs players have become the polarizing forces of Team Canada discussions. Also, Sid, wake the fuck up.
Speaking of freaky, whats with the Sochi Arena and the warning track around the ice. So Soviet.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the Latvian team and Ted Nolan for getting this far in the Olympic tournament.
