Anybody got a guess on Total Goals scored today? 16 Here's SUI vs. SWE Puck is dropped......
Aww crap, that looks bad, Doc. I'll need to write at least one column about womens curling before this is over, or else, well, I'll feed bad. What's with the crappy hockey schedule? Quasi-simultaneous games? Give us a break, IOC!
The Canadian women are down by three in the last end Apparently they play ten ends nowadays. Who knew? Grrr... I'll have trouble adding YOUR comment, SpoFi!
but it's SpoFi play Hokey to watch Olympic Hockey Day! I know, but I haven't learned enough Autolisp to make the drawings draw themselves. I've been working extra hours but I'm still 2 weeks behind. I gotta please the customers if I want to keep my job. I'll say 21 goals today.
DrJE, the official Torino web site says down by 2 in the 10th, but SUI with the hammer. Doesn't look good.
1-0 SWE Sedin from the near point... early 1st
Doesn't look good at all. A steal of 2 is not a small feat. Woah, the Swedes are not wasting time. Who's in net for Switzerland?
SWE PP.......
Well, they stole three in the third end, so it's only fair. Who's in net for Switzerland? Gerber, baby.
Gerber in Goal for SUI..
SUI PK unit excellent this tourney.. Nice PK SUI.. Having trouble posting..
they stole three in the third end Nope, that wasn't a steal. Anyway, Canada loses 7-5. OK, no more curling talk. We're like those annoying guests at the Super Bowl party who want to switch the channel to see the score in the hockey game.
No, I like the curling updates keep'em coming
SUI big pressure on Lundquist.. Nice Stop ...
Curling updates don't bother me at all.
SUI Goal......... tie 1-1..
A steal of three is the best end of your curling life, or you're playing someone who can't shoot straight. I've never played curling, mind you, just watched the pros. Amateur: what's the score of the hockey game? ;-)
Striet SUI Captain... at 8:27
Nope, that wasn't a steal. I missed the lack of scoring in the first end. I gotta start finishing these cups of coffee. Ah well... looks like that's that. Bronze medal, here we come!
The Swedish coach is so fired if they lose to Switzerland after his talk of throwing the last preliminary game. Mark Streit! Our 7th, useless D-man who's apparently playing like he's Bobby Orr now.
SpoFi play Hokey to watch Olympic Hockey Day I'm "working from home" today so I can watch the quarters (and because I have a new sofa being delivered). 1-1 after a SUI goal. I hope they continue to keep things interesting.
Women's curling wrapup, then: SWE defeats NOR 5-4 SUI defeats CAN 7-5 CAN will play NOR for the bronze medal tomorrow. Hockey updates, that's what you guys are here for...
Lundquist nice save on the break-away.......
Woah, almost a Sundin break-away following by a near 2-1 SUI lead. Alas, it's still 1-1.
86.......... Nice Sofa ;-)
SWE on PP Paterlini take a seat....
SWE Goal Modin from Forsberg......2-1
Goal! Sweden
No sofa yet. Should be here within the hour.
You mean you're really waiting for a sofa? How convenient! Have the ottoman delivered on Friday, OK?
Oh yeah, I really waiting for a sofa. Best day of the year so far, easily. Not because of the sofa mind you, but because I get to sit at home, work sparingly, and watch hockey. I'm easy to please.
Game update: A 700 pound polar bear just climbed the glass and is now centering the Swiss team's third line.
Period one over. 2-1 Sweden. No sofa.
2-1 SWE after 1st......
A 700 pound polar bear just climbed the glass and is now centering the Swiss team's third line. Talk about a power forward.
That neutral zone SWE trap is giving the SUI fits.... as well as their size..
I'm guessing the "I'll work from home today" line works better in the US than in Canada during a hockey tournament. Me, I'm self-employed, so everything is gravy. Although I am restricting my TV time to lunch time and the Canada game for today. So I'm counting on you guys for updates.
BOB COLE: And a penalty's coming to the Swiss! Streit touches the pucklet's see what the call is. It looks like the bear's going to the box for goaltender interference. HARRY NEALE: Let's have a look at the replay to see if we can spot the infraction. Oh yes. Yes, the bear swallows Henrik Lundqvist whole. Good call by Dan Marouelli. BOB COLE: And for that, the bear'll serve two or less!
Good thing he swallowed him whole. It could of been an extra 2 for drawing blood.
I'll be flipping channels soon USA vs. FIN starts shortly....... WTF NBC. IOC This sucks!
don't even joke about that drjohn. it would be just our luck that our goalie would get eaten by a bear at the olympics.
ouch... Face Plant into the end boards SWE player Oulan ........ down on the ice
SWE Goal Zetterberg.... 3-1 under review good
I swear that if that bear (or anyone) touches Lundqvist, I'll beat them with Jarko Ruutu's right arm.
DiPietro in Goal USA Niittimaki in Goal FIN Puck is dropped....
Jarkko Ruutu is making a good impression on me in this tournament. He's consistently delivering solid, semi-dirty hits. Just the kind of hits you need in the playoffs. This guy could be the new Tikkanen. Finland has two goals against in the whole tournament so far, which is insane.
