2014 Winter Olympic Hockey

[Eleven]

Latvia is up 2-0 in the second. As a Sabres fan I love this, as an American, I don't. So conflicted.

As an American, how does Latvia doing well turn out bad for us?

 

PS 2-1 now.

I think it's just most believing that the suiss have a better chance of upsetting canada tomorrow than Latvia, which would help us because then we wouldn't have to play canada in the semis

I'm guessing he thinks the Suisse have a better shot at Canada.

 

How about Ted Nolan on opposite bench of Lindy?

 

I'll be honest, I'm rooting more for Latvia than the US. It's fun watching Girgensons. It's an experience like this that can springboard him even faster in the NHL.

Yes, that's it.

Read this from www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/GARTHS-CORNER/Halak-Bottom/6/58038 near the bottom is this description of Girgs.

 

"Buffalo Sabres 19 year-old rookie Zemgus Girgensons, who scored his first Olympic goal against King Hank Lundqvist in Saturday’s loss to Sweden, is capable of throwing his team on his back and fighting like a “Braveheart”. Zemgus will give the Swiss cold sweats because he never stops competing inside a shift. He fore checks like a hostile, hungry rottweiler chasing a mail man off his front porch."

 

Untouchable*

 

 

 

* I use this word like I use "prove" when talking about statistics. It's not 100% certain, but it would take something really unusual (unlikely) to make it not true.

[sabre snipe]

Ugh! Girgensons with a blast off the crossbar with 3 minutes left. Really unlucky he's had about 3-4 glorious chances this game

[Trettioåtta]

Girgenson could have sealed the victory. Hit the crossbar on a 3 on 1

 

Empty net goal. 3-1 with 1min to go

[Johnny DangerFace]

LATVIA!!!!!!!!!

[Hoss]

Can't believe Latvia pulled that off. Wow.

[Eleven]

Nice job, Letts.

[Hoss]

If Latvia even competes with Canada late into the game it'll be a bigger upset than the Miracle on Ice. If they pull off the upset of Canada I don't know if you could find a bigger upset. Won't happen. But fun to wonder.

[MILFHUNTER#518]

I have just been rendered speechless. What performance. I think this performance will help Murray and PLF justify keeping Nolan around for at least another year...

[Swedesessed]

So if the USA wins, who would we play after that? Is it Canada or would the USA avoid Canada until the Gold Medal game if we get there?

If the US then it's the winner of Canada-Latvia. So Canada.

[WildCard]

If the US then it's the winner of Canada-Latvia. So Canada.

Win or go home, right?

[Hoss]

Win or go home, right?

 

Yeap

Correct.

[Johnny DangerFace]

You never know what can happen so don't be goofs and think any win is guarenteed xd

[Ghost of Dwight Drane]

Here's a ???.......so, we trade Miller. Can Nolan get the Latvian goalie to come here for a couple of years and do a 52/30 with Enroth until the Sabres are ready for primetime?

How tall is the Latvian goalie?

Well played.

"Masalskis has been strong all tournament, which is remarkable when you consider that the goaltender has barely played at all this season. The netminder spent parts of the previous five campaigns in the KHL, but he couldn’t secure a contract in Russia for 2013-14, in part due to his injury history."

 

I dunno, guy can't hang in the KHL. I guess you could hope he stays healthy.

[Derrico]

How tall is the Latvian goalie?

 

Very nice.
