IGT 02/28, USA vs CAN for all gold marbles

[Guest Kong76]

Likely to be the most watched hockey game in the history
of televised hockey.

USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Fuck, they're getting a lot of odd-man rushes.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Turnover. Goal. Frick.

Shit play behind your own net, 'Murricans.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Play definitely swinging the Poutine-Swillers' way in the latter half of the first, with a power play and numerous pressures on Miller.

Nice chance at period's end by the Real Heroes, as Ryan Callahan shoots a knuckler that Moose Fucker goalie Luongo has trouble squeezing, and a scrum ensues in front of the net. No dice, though.

[Guest Kong76]

I can't offer any real hockeyesque commentary, but this is
pretty freakin' exciting. I'd feel better with a quick tie at the
start of the second.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

This has been an ass-whup of a 1-0 game so far.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I'm not the only one struggling with the pronunciation of "Toewes," am I?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

GOOOOOOOOAL! Patrick Kane wrister off of Keslar's stick.

PUT ON THE FOIL! LET 'EM KNOW YOU'RE THERE!

Hockey is immeasurably better in HD, and with no TV timeouts.

So much better , and it helps when the great Doc Emerik is calling it. Canada sat back at 2-0 , a dangerous game to play.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Goalie pulled. I have big nervous. Thanks be for beer.

[Guest Kong76]

[bigpurple:39169j54]SCORE!!![/bigpurple:39169j54]

[Valadius]

HOLY SHIT

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

zomg

[metirish]

The color guy called it though, Luongo all day instead of catching very catchable pucks would bat them away...got caught out that time.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

HOLYFUCKINGSHIT

[Frayed Knot]

This is fun!!

Suicide rates are going to go up north of the border if they don't pull this one out.
This game was always going to be a bigger loss for Canada than a win for US (if that's the way it turns out) even if it didn't involve blowing a late lead.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Jeremy Roenick's voice cracking as he describes the action... as if he's been yelling all period. Kind of adorable.

Yeah, it's the way he played the game too, lots of emotion.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

we were 24 seconds from leaving to go put for dinner, now at the corner bar!

[metirish]

Squeaky bum time here boys.

[Frayed Knot]

Somebody needs to score - I don't want to see this decided by a shoot-out.



oe: OK, I didn't mean that quickly.

[Guest Kong76]

Crosby is the hero

[metirish]

It was coming wasn't it...Canada were going for it.

J.R. might well be crying now

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Great game.

Ya fuckin' maple-suckin' bear-rapists.

[Frayed Knot]

The other thing I was just about to say pre-goal is that Crosby's be surprisingly invisible (of the games that I've seen anyway).

[metirish]

Still one of the great things in all of sports the handshake line.

[Frayed Knot]

btw, if it seems like Crosby's been around for a while already ... he's still half a year from turning [u:1hlb89ay]23[/u:1hlb89ay].
That #87 he wears is because he was born on 8/7/87

[Valadius]

Ovie get platinum medal, yes?

Hell, Patrick Kane's an NHL veteran (2 1/2 seasons), and he's not a legal drinker.

OE: Yes, he is. But barely. (21 in November.)
