Re: The Official Olympic Hockey Thread
We must have been at different games. It was quite noticeable and embarrassing. Similar to the wooing. Sid should never be booed on his home ice. It was uncomfortable at best. Poor guy gets booed enough everywhere else he goes.newarenanow wrote:

Re: The Official Olympic Hockey Thread
Rather bold statement considering what just happened. Finland isn't a pushover.@usahockey Bylsma: We're coming home with a bronze medal. After we put this loss behind us we'll be back to do that. #DawnsEarlyLight

Re: The Official Olympic Hockey Thread
I thought both teams, goalies and coaches did about as well as they could in this one - when that happens, I think it's a usually going to be a one goal victory for Canada at this point, unfortunately.

Re: The Official Olympic Hockey Thread
Agreed, if people boo Sid if Canada wins gold at the next Penguins home game, then they're idiots. 2 weeks of national hockey fever shouldnt cloud years of dedication to one city. Mario is Canadian. Sid is Canadian. A majority of the team is Canadian. If the Canadian players arent interested in making a big deal of it, neither should the fans. They are as much a part of Pittsburgh as they are a part of Canada. Get over it and let's move on...Let's Go Pens!pens_srq wrote:We must have been at different games.

I completely agree. It would have been nice, but I will lose zero sleep over it. Not sure why. Maybe because the Pens are scattered everywhere. The Stanley Cup is where it's at.llipgh2 wrote:Frankly, while it would have been nice to see the US advance, when it comes right down to it I don't care.
I consider the Stanley Cup to be the big prize. A tournament that happens once every 4 years for bragging rights...meh.

I was at the game. The booing was more in jest than anything else. People booed and then started laughing.

Re: The Official Olympic Hockey Thread
Additionally, the games remind me of pseudo-teams/pseudo-teammates. Put together for two weeks and then sent back to their respective real teams. Teammates for a flyby and they go back to hating each other on Monday. In a few months, these games will be forgotten (save Canada) until 2018 when everyone will hit the refresh button.Humperdink wrote:I completely agree.

Re: The Official Olympic Hockey Thread
Okay reading the comments thread below this link reminded me. It was the replay that started all of the loud booing. So what I should have said is lets not show any highlights of Sid smashing America's hopes again. Good thing he didn't score.pens_srq wrote:Honestly. I don't care. I would never boo Sid.

Re: The Official Olympic Hockey Thread
So in the grand scheme of things, if the US wins and Sweden loses we will have beaten Czech Rep and Finland in the medal rounds but lost to Canada and they would have beat Slovenia and Finland but lost to Canada as well. Yet they will get the silver.SolidSnake wrote:I wouldn't even want the bronze medal

while that's classic DB, you still have Bergeron lurking. so it would have been really tough to match lines effectively.Desiato wrote:http://espn.go.com/olympics/winter/2014 ... ada-win-us" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;Pierre LeBrun wrote:What befuddles me is why U.S. head coach Dan Bylsma, having the last line change as the home team, didn't try enough to get Kessel's group away from Toews'.
