Re: The Official Olympic Hockey Thread
I think it's looking like we see the swiss/latvia winner at the 3 spot. But if Canada/Finland goes OT, we could be the 2 seed.

Promotion/highlighting of a KHL player?pcm wrote:I don't get this. He could be their best player. I understand the whole veteran preference thing, but the way Malkin gets used, you'd almost think the coaches either (1) don't understand hockey, or (2) hold a grudge against him for leaving for NA.columbia wrote:Marginalizing Malkin doesn't appear to be a winning strategy.

He did nothing in the last Olympics either. So much talent and so lacking inside the helmet.count2infinity wrote:Has anyone else noticed that Radulov has been a bit of a **** up this entire tournament?

If Canada wins, hopefully it's in regulation. I'd prefer not to see them until the gold medal game

Re: The Official Olympic Hockey Thread
Radulov was a pretty active contributor in the third period vs. the Slovaks. He did block a potential goal from Vyacheslav Voinov, but he was a fairly game competitor to make up for his slovenly play against the United States...
But yeah, he's a wanna-be Nikolay Zherdev which is something very few aspire to be...

Radulov somehow played more than Datsyuk today. Head scratcher.

The Comcast guide blurb for this game mentions Jokinen and Maatta.
That's a warm fuzzy right there.

And get Subban in the lineup. I want to see him do something stupid and get tossed from a game.
