February 19, 201412 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 19, 2014 -> 08:51 AM) There goes the champion in my bracket. Why the hell did I think selfish mental midgets like Ovechkin, Radulov, & Kovalchuk could handle the pressure of a home Olympics? Finland/Sweden may not be pretty, but it should a good matchup. Canada was the safe bet, Russia was still somewhat of a chance at least. You could tell today when they started choking.
February 19, 201412 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 19, 2014 -> 08:56 AM) You picked the Russians over either USA or, gasp, Canada? You silly bastard. I'd have gone with the homer pick, but if I were betting on actual chances, you can damn-well know I'd go Canada over Russia easily. You dumb, silly, foolish bastard. Plus, it's Ovie. He's a choker. It was small money and I tend to hedge my emotional picks with my wallet, but yeah Ovi is a choker and I ignored that. Especially with the pressure of a future in Siberia, should have seen it a mile away. I should have listened to Teemu, before the Olympics he said about Russia, "The problem is that there is only one puck. They need five pucks." An ageless genius.
February 19, 201412 yr Not sure Czech wants to get into a physical battle, but the certainly are trying to take shots at the US players outside of the play.
February 19, 201412 yr The first and third goals were at ridiculous angles. I don't know how JVR's got in.
February 19, 201412 yr Wow, jsut watched the video of p**** Riot being beaten during an attempted protest.
February 19, 201412 yr So for those that know hockey way better than I do, while it obviously is incredibly likely that Canada ends up beating Latvia, if Latvia somehow pulls this off where would that rank as far as Olympic upsets go?
