Kane is awake, too, making nice plays here in the third.

And here we go. Russia PP. This is huge.

If Russia can't dominate this first game in front of the home crowd, they better start planning for Bronze.

 

USA is extremely composed and patient.

They've gotten 29 pp too.

Kesler is much easier to root for when he's not playing for Vancouver.

TJ Oshie.

I guess that was going to eventually happen when you give them all these PPs.

 

 

 

Choke job.

Wow no goal

lol, the net being off

Didn't know that rule.

Good chance these refs end up in a Russian ditch.

I love with all of this ice our forechecking has mostly involved trying to have one guy skate through four defenders with the rest of the team off behind them, unable to even chase down the puck if it's dumped in.

Great hockey. Thought Kaner was going to score.

Kaner almost snuck that backhand in.

Great hockey. Thought Kaner was going to score.

 

Looking at the replay it looked like he had to keep his head down to make sure the puck didn't hop for a logn time. This ice looks pretty terrible at the moment.

Snake draft rules on the shootout?

Oshie had it.

What a shootout

TJ ICE COLD!

 

 

Come on Olympic tv feed, show Putin now.

f***ing Oshie. Man he's good.

f***ing Oshie. Man he's good.

 

 

 

He came close to scoring every SO attempt he took.

Amazing that Oshie could come up with that variety with so much on the line. I thought it was foolish to put that much on him but he looked like he was having fun. (ugh why does he have to play for STL)

That was an incredible game to watch.

 

In other news, the USA speed skating team continues to perform terribly even after switching suits.

Amazing that Oshie could come up with that variety with so much on the line. I thought it was foolish to put that much on him but he looked like he was having fun. (ugh why does he have to play for STL)

It's literally the only reason he made the team. He's a shootout specialist.

Have fun slaying hot Olympic girls tonight Oshie.

And that was a huge reason he was put on the team. Some incredible moves in that shootout. That Kovalchuk soft wrister...oh my.
