USA!

What a QF!
USA-SUI/Belarus
RUS-CAN/GER
SWE-SVK/Norway
FIN-CZE/LAT

Got a question. I don´t watch Washington Capitals matches at all but do the referees excuse Ovechkin´s fouls in NHL as well?
In the match RUS-SVK they excused him at least 3 fauls.

Czech lost

I just didn't want the russians to win.... but they did play a physical game.

Harry, this is the sweatest loss I remember...
Look at the QF pairs.
I´m sure should the Russians know the USA will beat CAN they wouldn´t win in the match against us8)

USA USA USA!!!!

Alright, our biggest hurdle is past us... Ovechkin gets all sorts of gimmies in the NHL, why would it be any different in the Olympics??

 

[B-17engineer]

Does anyone know about fighting in the olympics? Do they get suspended or something and is that why they don't fight? I know they never did just don't know why.

Ovecheckin's hit on Jarg was what seemed to drain all the life outta the Czech's

O.K. Glad to hear the same opinion I have on him.

Sure, you can be suspended. One player from Finland was just suspended in the match SWE- FIN. Stop for next match (against CZE).

Ah ha! Thanks guys.

IMHO that was a clean hit . Jagr had the puck and head down Ovechkin had his arms down didn't jump. it was a classic open ice hit. The thing about Ovechkin is he dishes it out and is not afraid to take it I don't think he gets preferential treatment, he has no reputation for diving and was suspended for 2 games for a knee on knee with Gleason who is on US team.
something to think about OV is one of if not the premiere player in the world one of the reasons is the man knows where everyone on the ice is including the refs

I didn´t speak about Ovechkin´s hit on Jagr. I meant his fauls in the match agaist SVK.
I read his interviews few days before Olympic games started. Especially his words about 'team from the other planet' were pretty selfish. As I said, not only the names make the team.
He´s gonna have a chance to show his skill in the QF.

 

[pbfoot]

I hope the QF game against the Russians involve s Canada and not Germany, I hope they put Luongo in net and put Brodeur on the bench

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Alright USA! Good win!

I really hope for a USA/Russia game now!

I have a question the Dutch seem to do well with skating how come they can't play hockey after all they have the hard part down .

Well, we have 2 national sports in the Netherlands, football (soccer) in the summer and speedskating in the winter. But icehockey is very small here. So is figure skating. I guess the skates are just too short for us
