The end of the period was seriously fucked up.

I was so hoping swiss to win

But maybe we get a swe fin final... Although a possible loss is more bitter if Sweden wins the gold.

Sweden beat the Swiss 6 - 2. (i guess the coach goes from goat to hero for his comments)

and Finland is winning over the US 4 - 2

It's hard to believe that Niittymäki was originally the third choice goalie for the team.

It seems that every time Finland plays the last 5 minutes are chaos and disorder.

D'OH!!

Canada loses 2-0 to Russia! PRONGS!! WHY DID YOU TAKE THAT DUMB HOLDING PENALTY!

I was like 1-0 at the start of the 3rd and they couldn't do shit all game. Truly disappointing. No excuses, the team sucked, we have a stripper for a coach. I just hope the boys don't come back all emo. We still gotta win the fuckin Cup! Ovechkin truly is Da MVP.

OK. Guess I'll jump on the Finnish bandwagon now if I know what's good for me

To keep Russia from getting an empty netter?

And yeah, we sucked this time.

Ditto.

Hopefully rooting for Finland will help me score some extra points.

omg usa hockey sucks

Everyone jumping on the Finnish bandwagon better prepare for some ups and downs. Always the same thing, when they're good they're awesome, and sometimes they forget that THE GAME HASN'T STOPPED YET.

Gnnh. I need some sedatives for the next game.

Sucks ass that Canada lost. Somehow it seems fitting that it was against the Russians.

Oh well, at least:

Czechs beated Slovakia 3-1. Eventhough imo slovaks have played better this far.

daigong · « **Reply #77 on:** February 24, 2006, 08:55:56 AM »

Still stunned at the Canadian loss. There's no need for them to blow up the team, but what the fuck went wrong. We couldn't play our forechecking style. There wasn't enough passion. I don't think bringing in Crosby or Spezza woulda helped. Ovechkin woulda wiped they asses with a 2 x 4. We needed thugs like Peca and Niedermayer. Brodeur was solid. I blame the stripper for the coach. Get rid of Quinn + Hitchcock. Bring in the Sutter Brothers.

:D

TOMORROW IS GONNA ROCK!! Finns + Swedes in the Gold Medal game

TORINO, Italy (AP) -- Mike Modano packed up his stuff and left Italy on Thursday morning, skipping a final meeting with his Olympic teammates after they were eliminated a night earlier in the men's hockey quarterfinals.

USA Hockey spokesman Dave Fischer said the longtime Dallas Stars forward -- who sharply criticized team management after the Americans' elimination Wednesday -- was the only member of the 23-player squad not to gather at the arena where the Americans were knocked out by Finland.

Modano lashed out after he was benched by coach Peter Laviolette for most of the third period of the 4-3 loss.

"A lot of guys have been there for many years, and maybe we need some new blood in there to run things a little differently,'' said Modano, who has represented the U.S. in 11 international competitions. "It's probably time some things changed.''

Yeah, they need new blood to replace crybabies like Modano
