2010 Winter Olympics - Slovakia vs Russia (Group B)

Alex O: Just pass me the puck, I shoot it a lot.

Pav: I like passing the puck.

Alex S: What about me guys?

At this point I'd just like to see them try someone on that line that's a puck-hound, Holmstrom-type. Russia doesn't really have anyone on their team like that though. But Radulov is playing a way I don't remember ever seeing him play when he was a Predator. He's taking hits, giving hits, playing in traffic, creating space for his teammates. That might help the Datsyuk line.

Sooo, how to they do the Hossa brother's names on the backs of the jerseys?

Normally they'd just put the first name initial and then the last name, but both Hossa boys' names start with M.

Now that would be interesting to see. Radulov has been pretty scrappy this game.

why isnt he wearing his usualy #91?

He wore 29 when Russia won the World Championships I think it was. He kept it probably because of typical athlete superstition.

I know right? You can't even put "Mar. Hossa" because it still doesn't distinguish between the two. It would have to be like "Mari. Hossa" and "Marc. Hossa." But I guess the numbers are enough.

Heh, Marc and Mari. Sounds like the other couple on a double date.

He's a damn solid hockey player. Would like to see him come back to the best league in the world soon.

[titanium2 867]

Man, Slovaks need to work on their line changes.

[EuroTwin 240]

I have not noticed Pavel out on the PP much... am I just being blind or have other people noticed this?

[RedWingsFan4Life 0]

I like this game it's a nice even match up unlike most of the games so far. It's enjoyable being able to watch a game that isn't totally one sided.

Of course the Canada game earlier was nice. Being able to watch an underdog try to take out one of the favorites.

[Pavel Hossyukstrom 2]

And what was the reason Kovalev didn't make the team?

Oh I've noticed. I was a little annoyed that Filppula wasn't on a PP unit for Finland. I'm all that Pav isn't on a unit either. Guess he's their best defensive forward and they need to save him.

i hope russia loses for taking dats off the PP.

dats was on the PP the first game

Politics. Kovalev has certainly pissed off his fair share of people.

[EuroTwin 240]

The feed I'm watching is the Slovakian feed I think, so I missed that.

Yay Crosby talk upcoming during intermission. Shocked they didn't ask Datsyuk what he thought about Crosby

Crosby means never having to say you're kidding.

Sooooo, super glad I have the Slovakian feed now.

"Crosby who? I do not remember Crosby. I forget."

Pavel always brings the lulz.

[Electrophile 3,554]

Imagine how funny he'd be if his English was a little better.

[Kira 451]

Love Pasha's attitude..."adjust and forget...look forward."

That's the spirit, Pasha! Now go out and beat the living s*** out of them.

So fast the tides turn...

Oh god, he's making weird faces too. I mean, weirder than normal.
