Maata needs to be on the PK ASAP in Pittsburgh

I agree. Unfortunately, he's not old enough or Deryk Engelland enough.

[DelPen]

Russians should have picked James Neal

Get up Evgeni ;(

Canada cannot win gold again.

Missed it. What happened?

I'd really like to see Russia at least medal in these games, but watching them actually upsets me. They have to be one of the most frustrating teams I've ever watched. They are so talented, but boy are they stupid and selfish.

i'm waiting to hear a good explanation of how the russians are so supremely talented. compared to latvia, sure. but their roster isn't in the same class as USA and Canada. not even close, really. they have top-end talent, but no depth to speak of, at least not for a team that's supposed to be a contender. losing to finland is a bit of an upset, but losing to sweden wouldn't be. and they should be expected to lose to canada or US.

Oli Maata is cooler than the other side of the pillow

I'm glad him and Kovalchoo are going to take the brunt of the blame here. Glad Geno keeps a low profile.

Bobrovsky >>>>> Varlamov

I don't get it.

[DelPen]

I really like how Finland plays the game

[count2infinity]

Another big one... how did they not start Bob today?

They were looking ahead to Sweden

KHL plays on the larger ice surface right?

This is so very delicious and filling I don't think I'm going to be able to eat the rest of the evening; in fact, I honestly don't think I can have one more bite of your painful humiliation. I'm...I find I'm just a little stuffed. Will take my keys to go, though!

[Avyran]

Finland's playing really, really sound defense.

Russia's also playing pretty stupidly and selfishly. Kinda reflects on the coaching a bit.

On the flip side BBC is talking about how Malkin is doing all he can to help his team.

[count2infinity]

lol... Ovechkin is just running people at this point. He's given up on winning.
