By-Tor Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Putin and Medveded looked a little upset after the game. http://www.cbssports.com/olympics/eye-on-olympics/24448255/russias-national-nightmare-hockey-team-done-after-3-1-loss-to-finlandrussias Russia's national nightmare has been realized; the men's hockey team has been eliminated at the Olympics prior to the medal round. Facing enormous pressure to not just medal but win gold at these Olympics, Russia faced longtime rival Finland in the quarterfinals on Wednesday at Bolshoy Ice Dome and came up short, losing 3-1 to their neighbors to the northwest. It brings a collosally disappointing end to the host nation's medal hopes.
SSTEEL Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Watched that game, my wife was ecstatic when we won
hambone Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 As a Hot Blooded Finn, it pleases me to no end. We Finns have been kicking the Russkies back over the border for a thousand years or more. Kitos Sisu Suomi !
By-Tor Posted February 20, 2014 Author Report Posted February 20, 2014 Yeah... that was a big one. But USA is the biggest favorite to win gold. They've been playing flawlessly. Canada superstars haven't convinced me one bit. 1
tomhorn Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 I thought Russia looked terrible in all of their games after the USA loss (even the games they won). Very sloppy play, passing wasn't sharp. Looked like they were just going through the motions.
F.Castro Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Yeha russia was real bad this olympics! But at least russi have better looking woman then the soumi when i think of it i havent seen a good looking finnish woman at al! And i hope Finland crush Sweden tomorrow!
By-Tor Posted February 20, 2014 Author Report Posted February 20, 2014 My predictions for the semifinals: USA-Canada 4-2 Sweden-Finland 2-3 Sweden are favorites I think... but Tuukka Rask is the best goalie in the world right now. And as you can see he HATES losing.
SSTEEL Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 This afternoon its Sweden vs Finland, should be an intense game.
Nanuq Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 And as you can see he HATES losing. I hate losing too, but I still can't consistently hit top shelf from the point. I guess that's what happens when he has talent and I don't? GO USA!!
