2010 Winter Olympics - Russia vs Latvia

[Guest zackmorris]

i was expecting a blow out, and thus far Latvia hasnt been outplayed that badly. I know Russia is just getting used to playing with eachother so i wont look to far into it but damn its only 3-0 at the start of the 2nd. Expecting big scoring the rest of the way. Atleast an Ovie hat trick

Latvia hasn't been in this at all. Barely even with all their powerplays.

OV will never be on the PK with any team. Pasha is a way better rounded player.

True, but WASH isnt complaining. Though as a wings fan a two way player steals my heart every time...

sorry, but i was expecting a HUGE 1st period by Russia, not just 3 goals. thats all i was tryin to say. I wasnt trying to imply that Latvia was playing well or in this game by any means, i just had HUGE hopes for Russia and think they are capable of WAYYYYYYY more especially against Latvia

By "hopes for Russia" i mean high expectations. I still root for, and want USA to win the gold. USA. USA. USA. USA. But if they dont then ill root for USA and the swedes over Russia, even if i love Dats

Someone tell that fat f*** to sit down and quit shaking his man boobs.

Okay, LOST is over, I can fully devote my attention to the game now.

Now you may score 84093275982758943 times, Dats.

Dats is supposed to play defense so OV and Semin can provide offense. It's more like...

You may get 9302420958209 takeaways now, Dats.

I can't believe Russia hasn't scored on the PP yet.

But I have Ovie down for 47293473280957239847398275390285430 goals. And Semin is penciled in for 6947329478392746876389274 goals. So, in comparison what I'm asking of Pavel is not really that much.

[ShanahanMan 473]

with the players on that team, the score should be WAY higher....

[Electrophile 3,554]

Watching this feed, I'm slowly learning Russian......

[Yzermania 156]

some of the russians are kind of puck-hoggish. I guess they need a little time to get used to their teammates.

As a USA fan and citizen i am hoping that Russia plays like a bust like this game has been thus far. As a realist, i think that they will get 20X's better.....i hope my realism is false....USA USA USA USA

[Electrophile 3,554]

I hope the Russians turn it on in the 3rd and score more goals than the Canadians.

[EuroTwin 240]

Woot! Mouth-breather!!

[Electrophile 3,554]

Ewww, a Penguin scored. But it's not Crosby, so I suppose I can cheer.

[Pavel Hossyukstrom 2]

4-0 Malkin

Canada didn't score in the first and ended up winning 8-0.

[Electrophile 3,554]

Come on guys......shoot for 9.

[The Mule 0]

Canada > Russia

[Electrophile 3,554]

Pavs to the penalty box? For shame.

[Doc Holliday 1,888]

Canada > Russia

Enough of the Nationalistic bulls***.

[EuroTwin 240]

Holy crap I cannot spell these Russian names to save my life.

I may have to start refering to them in relation to their Red Wing jersey number Counterpart.

[Hank Dats 'N Homer 81]

This means what to me? Im not saying they wont win. They better. But 4-0 on a 33-14 shots? really? for a team that is suppose to be stacked? a 3rd peroid with a HUGGGGGGGGE russian scoring team better come around.

[EuroTwin 240]

Feds <3 <3 <3

Have to figure that the Canadians, Russians, Swedes, and USA never really had too much practice time compared to the rest of the teams.

Saying that, Canada looks to be unbeatable.
