fffffffffff so many shootouts recently, at least Niemi picks a good time to solidify his game

[Callisto]

idk if other teams do such goofy shit, but if you guys are bored check out the 'Blackhawks TV Shows' section, the guys on the team are kinda hilarious on Blackhawks TV segments.

Sydney Crosby was in Columbus last night to take a charter flight with a bunch of other Team Canada players. I considered going to the airport and giving him the Nancy Kerrigan special Just kidding, I wouldn't do that really......maybe......ok I would if it would get USA the gold.

Am I the only one hoping for Canada to not even medal considering they have already been anointed the champs without playing a single game?

Whose anointed them? Sure as hell isn't their GM or anyone with the team, they know what the goal is at these games but no one is saying it's going to be easy. The media has to claim them the favorite to win or else they'll be accused of showing no patriotism. But hey stay classy.

So are we going to do Olympic hockey talk in this thread or move over to the Olympic thread? I had a video I couldn't decide which thread it should go in. I'd like to keep the Olympic hockey talk in here so it doesn't have to associate with figure skating faggotry.

[Abraxas]

id say keep it in here. because at least most people here know their stuff in regards to hockey.

and there's really not much else to talk about to keep this thread alive while the NHL is on break for a few weeks

[Thoronas]

I'll just put this here.

Fantasy standings (since we're in a "3 week" matchup thats technically ended since all the games have been played, the league just wont process the wins/losses and move on to the next matchup until the Olympics end):

1. [274] Hack N Slash
2. [243] No Beaton Mark Eaton
3. [235] Metalgods
4. [224] Gooniesneversaydie
5. [224] Team Beartato
6. [207] Give it to Gaborik!
7. [204] West Coast Express
8. [202] Scrantoncity2
------------------------------
9. [199] Smell the Glove
10. [185] Team Pedobear
11. [173] Ratahabs
12. [138] Big Stick Willie's

I also vote for Olympic hockey discussion in here, as we're all going to laugh at the NHL-relevant news of Gaborik getting hurt playing for whatever fucking sissy European country hes from.

[Ishido]

I agree with "real" Olympic hockey discussion staying in here, there will doubtlessly be some in the Olympic threads though.

[Brill Weave]

99% of the people outside of this thread talking about Olympic hockey won't know what the fuck they are talking about. Cause we cool like that.

Lol what we do? We haven't even played Philly in a few weeks now...

More importantly -- NBC isn't going to televise a prelminary round USA vs. Canada game cause of figure skating? Fuck that shit

It's going to be televised on MSNBC according to Puck Daddy. But yeah putting figure skating on because it has a wider demographic appeal is fucking fail. You know why it has a wider appeal? Because you never show hockey so people don't know wtf it is!

NBC site shows this for me as well. It's actually pretty good, shows channels and times for your area and provider for the entire Olympics.

Now if only the main channel would quit the delay shit and air good events...

I figured all the hockey talk would remain here the minute I saw some dude from Nova Scotia bitching about not seeing Crosby in the opening ceremony... when Crosby was in Pittsburgh playing a game. Great support for your hometown hero, bud! Don't even know when the fuck he's playing and pretend to give a damn about him.

You might need this:

joke  [johk] Show IPA noun, verb, joked, jok⋅ing.
–noun
1. something said or done to provoke laughter or cause amusement, as a witticism, a short and amusing anecdote, or a prankish act: He tells very funny jokes. She played a joke on him.
2. something that is amusing or ridiculous, esp. because of being ludicrously inadequate or a sham; a thing, situation, or person laughed at rather than taken seriously; farce: Their pretense of generosity is a joke. An officer with no ability to command is a joke.
3. a matter that need not be taken very seriously; trifling matter: The loss was no joke.

So Sep, I was wondering, who are you rooting for in the Olympics, USA hockey or Canada?
