Carey Price just had the game of his life.

Seven, how did it feel to see Vlasic defending Pavelski as that game ended?

i don't wake up early enough to watch hockey in russia, but that sounds like watching your brothers fight  :frown:

curling ice is dimpled, like an inverted golf ball.  the brooms don't shave the ice, it just effects it in some way where you can make the stone go faster and follow a curved path.

A lot of lciq here, seven. Glad you're here to set these clowns straight.

That U.S. coach had his head WAY up his ass the whole game!  We didn't even attempt the best and most potent offensive scheme ever conceived "the flying V!"  :flush:

We didn't make the rules.  If everyone cared most about gold medal count, we'd win more gold.

Our guys just can't bring themselves to give a eff about bronze.  3rd place games are dumb.

Is this where we talk about the Olympic roster? Other than Stepan and Howard I'm pretty happy with the roster. Would've liked Bobby Ryan too but I can see why he was left off.

Keith Yandle was royally mumped. The highest scoring American defenseman the last 5 years. Brooks Orpik, wtf? The Penguins GM and head coach a part of the process and two penguins defenders were seleted who habe spent the better part of the winter hurt. Also eff Brian Burke

http://espn.go.com/olympics/hockey/story/_/id/10195703/how-us-hockey-team-bound-sochi-olympics-was-named

I sincerely hope the Americans lose and give up a ton of goals doing so, what a horrific way to compose a team. I will be cheering for Oliver Ekman-Larsson and team Sweeden.

Jack Johnson was the biggest snub in my opinion. and yeah, the penguins thing is very wtf. ill still root for team USA.

Jack Johnson only has 11 points and a +/- of -12. If they were looking for stay home defensemen they could do and did better than Jack Johnson. Keith Yandle is without a doubt the best American scoring defender. We don't have the most skilled forwards one would guess they would pick the most skilled defenseman available.

Eh, Yandle wouldn't have changed the outcome of either game IMO. He may have given them an extra scoring chance or 2 yesterday but the way Price was playing I don't think it would have mattered. Today they just didn't look like they gave a damn.

less about Yandle and more about the issues on how the roster was constructed and the issues they would have

They cared today, they just folded up and quit when they had adversity. Did you hear the post game interview with Parise, because thats what he said? Kane's hack and wack act in the 3rd period was deplorable and a sure sign they cared.

Yandle was the only one you really brought up as being an issue with the roster construction and like I said, he really wouldn't have made a difference. With the current crop of American players I think they built the roster basically how they needed to to have a chance.

They may have cared, but that there was definitely not the same intensity as there was in the semis. I also don't blame them too much for just folding up in the third. Most of those guys are getting ready to head back to teams that will be right in the thick of battles for playoff spots and seedlings and a Stanley Cup means a lot more than a bronze medal.

Kane was pretty bad in the 3rd, but as a Blues fan I'm not a big fan of his anyways.

I said this team would have trouble scoring goals

the Fins play in the NHL too, that's a wack excuse, fact is that team had quitters with no heart and don't care as much as playing for their country as other nations, Russia was afflicted with the same thing

I won't argue with that, but I still believe this was about as good a team as the US could put on the ice right now. And honestly, a bronze means a lot more for a country like Finland than it does for the USA.

I also think it's a little harsh to dump the whole team in that categories. There where a few players who where giving everything they had up until it became painfully obvious that others had quit.
