Cool. Good insight. Most detractors actually assumed he would fare better given it's not a series based tournament.Factorial wrote:DudeMan2766 wrote:I'm sure if we won gold the attitude would have been "Who cares?"The Detractors wrote:Until he wins the cup again this means nothing.
Facts are he lost. Didn't medal. Doesn't matter what would have happened if they won gold. They didn't.

It will be tough to watch Price start and get a gold medal tomorrow.
Too bad Fleury choked so badly; he's clearly better.

Re: The Official Olympic Hockey Thread
I don't know, I think Price is a tremendous goalie. He's inconsistent from time to time but his highs are a bit higher and his lows not quite as low as Fleury's.columbia wrote:It will be tough to watch Price start and get a gold medal tomorrow.

I think Canada wins this by 2 goals. Maybe more. If I was them I'd go right after Karlsson he doesn't know how to play defense and Sweden hasn't faced a good offensive team yet.

Stick should need to actually be high to call high sticking. Swede looked to be bending down, otherwise it's about low chest level.

Re: The Official Olympic Hockey Thread
As far as PGH papers go, I only read the PG.
Their Olympic coverage seems pretty boiler plate, as far the US loss.
I assume all of the drama queen action is over at the Trib, including their Twitter accounts.
