sadly I have not been wtching closely enough as our TV coverage is just plain poor and I am at work or someplace else.........

I think the US has bagged the mens snowboard Golds, not sure of the women and also 1 guy I think ? clinched 2 golds in the speed skating.

question and more of an observation, and I could be wrong ........ but why do the figure skating guys look a little fruity for the top standings ? - From the same generic mold I wonder -

Pisis, you hear that Hasik is down and most likely out? Thats really to bad, all of in Canada are so sad to hear that. Really now do think your hockey team still has a good chance ? I think so. Good luck

[cheddar cheese]

Yeah but Italy have the gold in mens luge and speed skating pursuit so thats all I care about 8)

 

[pbfoot]

like that game the czechs played against swiss.... what happened did the swiss just ice the puck all game or just get lucky

 

[Wildcat]

Gold - Mens Moguls, Dale Begg-Smith

 

[Pisis]

Yeah, Vokoun is way better then Hašek...

 

[pbfoot]

Yeah, Vokoun is way better then Hašek...

but throw in Elias who is also hurt I think the loss of Hasek is gonna hurt you I figured the Czechs as one of the teams for the Gold but now I'll go with the Russians

 

[Hunter368]

Yeah, Vokoun is way better then Hašek...

What? Ok now I am no fan of Hasek, but I give the devil his due. Hasek is or has been one of the top 3 goalies for years now. He is sick good in the net, don't really like him but he can stop pucks. Vokoun is not as good as Hasek, not yet anyways. I can't believe this would ever happen I am defending Hasek, yikes thats hard to believe. He didn't look so good when he faced Switzerland.

 

[Pisis]

Hašek is just an old lazy ass. I don't say he's good, he's damn good, but in my opinion Vokoun is now better. I don't have access to watch the NHL though, so I can't be sure. But from what I've learned from the newspapers and what I've seen last year in the Championship, I bet Vokoun.

What about Canada? I even don't know who's the goalie there... Brodeur? Or is he retired yet? ...

 

[pbfoot]

no brodeur is still playing he is still young at 33\35 and now the swiss beat canada for the first time ever I'll have to put myself in for suicide watch

 

[cheddar cheese]

Yeah Gold for Italy in the 10x4 Cross Country Skiing 8)

Ice Hockey - 18 February 2006
Czech Rep. - Finland: 2-4 (and Jagr injured by this Finnish bastard Rutttu... Fortunately it is just some stitches...)

Today playing against Italy, after 2 period the score is 3-0 for Czechs.

 

[pbfoot]

well canada lucked out today beating the Czechs in ice hockey 3-2 but there is a typical Canadian whine about the sky falling

 

[Pisis]

yeah, damn canadian hockey.... just shooting the puck in the OZ.... this one game was excellently ugly...

 

[pbfoot]

well Vokoun certainly looked pretty lame and Brodeur stole the game for Canada the gold looks like its up for grabs this year should be great to watch

 

[Pisis]

Today Czech have beaten Slovaks and they're heading into semifinal! Yippeee!

 

[pbfoot]

well it sucks for me about Canada but lets go finland
