Canada leads going into final skate

 

[mugs]

So whats the quarterfinal like?

USA vs Russia?

If Finland beats Sweden in regulation, Finland will be the #1 seed followed by USA and Russia. USA couldn't face Russia until the semi-finals.

If Finland beats Sweden in OT or Sweden beats Finland by less than 5 goals it'll be USA, Sweden/Finland, Russia; USA couldn't face Russia or Canada until the gold medal game.

First, second, fourth and fifth seeds depend on the outcome of Finland vs Sweden. Russia will be the third seed, Canada sixth.

Russia will definitely play the winner of Canada vs Germany in the quarterfinals.

 

[Dominato3r]

Russia vs Canada would be a goo match up.

Whats the street report in Vancouver for those of you there?

I think the both countries are content with each other on these forums. I think it should stay that way.

[HopJokey]

[DVad3r]

It was a good game, and I think it was pretty close, especially for that entire minute towards the end where shot after shot was taken on the US. I have to admit that the US goalie is amazing. I still think both teams will see each other in the finals though, we will see.

I knew it! NBC would ride the train.

which is rather funny given the channels which they've been relegating all the hockey to so far here.

 

[mugs]

I don't know if it's just on CNBC, but that AT&T commercial with the snowboarder leaving the atmosphere plays during every damn commercial break. I've also seen that poorly produced B1 ad a lot as well as a lot of local car dealer ads.

Granted, I'm watching curling.

I assumed it was their version of Nike. Also, Canada is clawing their way back into this!! WOOT!!!

 

[Riceninja]

a few ppl with american flags wrapped around themselves were getting booed but its surprisingly civil

Can someone please explain ice dancing to me? I don't get why it has a separate category as compared to couples figure skating. Both wear costumes? Check. Both dance and prance around on the ice? Check. Both include triple lutzes and triple sow cows? No, only one. So....wtf is the point of having a new category?
