Winter Olympics 2006

[Dr. Freeman]

so who has been watching?
i have watched a bit of the repeats since they started this past Friday.
for me the most interesting part will be the Men's hockey tourney which begins on Wednesday

im just glad that whole gambling/mafia thing has nothing to do with Gretzky and outside of one or two days of questions about it, mainly it will die away.
another reason i am beginning to hate the news shows more and more every day.

anyway i'll be watching

The olympics are this year? Seriously?

Well ain't that some shit...

 

[JNightshade]

Hahaha yeah, I've barely even thought about 'em. Good luck to all the athletes who I'm supposed to like and all, rah-rah-rah, I suppose.

I feel that the Canadian hockey team might not win Gold this year because of the betting scandle with Wayne's Wife and that other guy from the Coyotes. That's what your going to hear about all through the olympics when the Men's Hockey team gets to the Olympics this week.

On the other hand, the women's Canadian hockey team will win Gold. They beat Italy 16-0 and Russia 12-0...so I see no problem for them.

Sweden's woman team beat Russia with 3-1 and Italy with 11-0. I'm looking forward to our game with Canada tomorrow. As for the men, I really don't expect Sweden to get a medal, but you can always hope.

 

[Evo]

Looking forward to some fights in the mens Ice Hockey

The Snowboarding Half-Pipe was pretty cool too

i think Sweden's Men's team can medal this time because of that new young New York Ranger's goalie... Henrik Lundquizt(sp?)
Sweden always seems to have a nice list of forwards and a decent defense but have always lacked a good goalie.

i think they can medal but this time around, Markus Naslund isn't there and Forsberg has a 50-50 chance of playing.

as for Canadian Men's, that scandel aside, they have problems on defense with injuries to Niedermayer, Jovanovski and now maybe even Pronger with Blake playing hurt possibly. :|

 

[Qonfused]

I've been watching it.

The Snowboarding stuff they had on there last night was disappointing. All they did were spins.

I too have a weird feeling that Canada will not win gold as well. However I seriously doubt it will be because of the whole Gretzky/Operation Slaphot incident. Instead I have this feeling that they'll be beaten by the Czech Republic. Jagr is arguably the best player in the world, and Hasek was the reason Canada didn't advance in the 1998 Nagano winter games. The Czech's also beat Canada in the World Cup two summers ago. They are the only team I feel that has a chance at beating Canada for a gold medal.

On the other hand, the women's Canadian hockey team will win Gold. They beat Italy 16-0 and Russia 12-0...so I see no problem for them.

Has anyone else noticed the odd number of shutouts the goalies in the Women's League are getting? In every game thus far, one team has gotten a shutout except for the game between Sweeden and Russia, where the Swedes won 3-1.

Results for Women's hockey thus far:
Finland 3, Germany 0
Sweden 3, Russia 1
United States 6, Switzerland 0
Canada 16, Italy 0
Canada 12, Russia 0
United States 5, Germany 0
Sweden 11, Italy 0
Finland 4, Switzerland 0

 

[Maxi]

Yay for Finland!

We pwnd the US in curling too

 

[Ravioli]

Wtf...canada pwned us!!! 8-1!!! OMFG...WHAT A DISCRASE:..im getting pwned in school tomorrow...

 

[Dr. Freeman]

Men's hockey tourney starts in about an hour and fifteen minutes
Canada vs Italy.

[Dalamari]

I watched the Top Gear winter olympics, that's good enough for me

 

[Dr. Freeman]

just watched the Womens 1500m speed skating event and wow.
Canadian women finish first and second! what a performance that was

Men's hockey update: elimination round begins today and Canada is set to face Russia at 2:30 EST (thats about 35 minutes from now for anyone outside the EST timezone )

 

[The Monkey]

Sweden won against Switzerland with 6-2 in the quarterfinals in hockey. On Friday we're up against either Slovakia or Czech Republic in the semis.

Me too!

 

[The Monkey]

Wow, you guys are extreme! I doubt Sweden could ever beat you.

 

[Dr. Freeman]

Wow, you guys are extreme! I doubt Sweden could ever beat you.

eh? Sweden has beaten Canada in the past...its not impossible as you may think...like today, the damn commies beat us
Russia wins the elimination game against Canada in a tight 1-0 game.

to be honest...i am not surprised of the result.
i had a bad vibe of this team the day it was announced...don't agree with the selection of a few players and with the injuries this version of Team Canada had leading up to the Olympics but that said, this was a team loss and they failed to score goals...plain and simple.

 

[pvtbones]

we should have given our womens team fake mustaches and beards and sent them out there. >_>

oh well, russia wanted to win more than we did and they deserve it.

2-0 you mean

 

[Dr. Freeman]

2-0 you mean

ops
forgot about that late goal Alexei Kovelev scored.

 

[The Monkey]

In 45 min Sweden is facing the Czech Republic, then it's Finland vs Russia. Looks like North America has bitten the dust.

They only won 8-6 in the end. It came down to the last stone.

 

[Dr. Freeman]

just finished watching the Czech Republic vs Sweden game
Sweden jumped out on top early and pretty much put it in auto pilot after that and won 7-3.

i bet Toronto Maple Leafs' fans are foaming at the mouth watching Mats Sundin play so well...its sad the Leafs have never really got Sundin good line mates like he seems to have every time he plays for Sweden.

Russia is exciting to watch but i wouldn't mind a Sweden vs Finland gold medal match
of course i wouldn't know which team to cheer for since after Canada, i do both the Fins and the Swedes :cheers:
