G-Daddy Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 If a medal game gets decided in a shootout I'll have a conniption fit. And I like shootouts! Do the medal games go shootout as well instead of sudden death ot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Damn Oshie was owning that. Even the two he missed, he had him beat. Bob should have charged out with him going so slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwksndmonster Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 We win! That Oshie-out was ridiculous. He's a handsome kid, though. I mean, oh yay! Hockey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Wait, we won in a shootout where TJ Oshie shot FOUR TIMES? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millbank Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 great game . Do not care for shootouts. But one positive is that you don't want your team getting beaten down playing to many over long games in preliminary round. Who is to say how long that game could have gone. Great entertainment , but put a few long overtimes together a good team would not have as much in tank for medal round. Unfortunate medal round tie games resolved in this fashion though.

cgang Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Oshie looked like a young college professor out there specializing in shootouts. He might have been tired, but he sure looked like he was enjoying himself. Kovalchuk looked awesome in those shootouts too. I'd give player of the game to Datsyuk. Kane's pass setting up our second goal was a beauty (too bad he botched the break away). Gutsy performance by US-- blocking shots, etc. I hope they aren't too banged up. Overall, I really enjoyed this one. Good game for both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewookie1 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I wonder if we could still finagle Oshie off the Blues at some point, it'd have to be in offseason though most likely. Great win by the U S of A! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Buffalo Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) P.S. Belov on D for the Russians was unbelievable. He plays D for Edmonton, hmm.. does Edmonton have a coaching problem. Edited February 15, 2014 by North Buffalo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 It gets dumber; he shot six times and scored on four. That's stupid. This is tournament play. Either it ends in a tie or you play a billion overtime periods. The shootout has no place in the Olympics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristian Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 That's stupid. This is tournament play. Either it ends in a tie or you play a billion overtime periods. The shootout has no place in the Olympics. While I'm no shootout fan, I'd say the only place the shootout makes any sense, is in the knockout stages of a tournament. You need to finish the game within a reasonable time frame. Imagine one semi-final ending in regulation, and another going to 3OT. You can make the argument than the team winning in regulation has earned the right to be better rested, but ultimately the sport is about entertainment, and a fresh team beating a dead tired team in the final isn't very entertaining. It's different in the NHL playoffs, as you're playing a series and not true knockout games - If you go to 3OT, your opponent suffers equally, or you get a few days off before the next series starts.

wjag Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) So I had to run errands just after the 3rd started. Just finished it now. Bob is going to have TJ nightmares for a long time. What a game. Edited February 15, 2014 by wjag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjag Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Yeh that whole deal was silly... I would rather have 4 on 4 than a shoutout. Anti-climatic. Oshie had to be getting tired, gotta admire his perseverance. How could he be tired? He was skating slower than Putin.

I guess if that's the other side of the coin then just end the game in a tie. If a team speed skating race ended in a tie they wouldn't make one guy from each team race alone. They wouldn't put the two skips from a curling rink up against each other head to head. This is supposed to be a TEAM event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunomatic Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Oshie was money in the shootout but I had time to make breakfast in the time it takes him. I think Bob was sleeping. You can't mess with success but it would have been nice to see Kessel, Kane or a few others shoot. Good win for the U.S.A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
