By-Tor Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Watched that game, my wife was ecstatic when we won Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hambone Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share 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 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted February 20, 2014 Author Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By-Tor Posted February 20, 2014 Author Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 This afternoon its Sweden vs Finland, should be an intense game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share 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!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
