USA Beats Russia 3-2 In A Shootout
— Open Blogger

Team USA beat team Russia in Olympic hockey this morning. The USA won in a shoot out on a great goal by TJ Oshie. You can see the box score numbers here. I will post a video if I can. The game just ended ten minutes ago.

8 It's interesting that the interviewers try to draw out the players into self-agrandizing statements, and they just don't bite.

12 I leapt to my feet and cheered. Not 1980, but not bad.

Posted by: Weirddave at February 15, 2014 06:34 AM (N/cFh)

13 The interviewers are horrible. In figure skating they are embarrassing. It's all about "how do you feel?" "Um, great?"

14 What a fun game! Thank you Team USA.

Posted by: grammie winger at February 15, 2014 06:36 AM (oMKp3)

15 Nothing can top 1980.This is still pool play, plenty of potential for more great games with medals on the line.

16 He went to high school in Hockey Town USA, aka Warroad MN As a kid he lived in Washington state but played hockey in British Columbia. Carey Eades is from BC. He also played for UND and is an asst coach there. He saw Oshie play hockey and told him if he wanted to go to UND, he had to go to high school in Warroad MN, aka Hockey Town USA Go Fighting Sioux!

19 I read this morning that Putin visited USA House today, prior to the game, and was very gracious. I hope he will be as gracious with his losing team.

Posted by: Niedermeyer's Dead Horse at February 15, 2014 10:37 AM (DmNpO) Well Putin, as opposed to obama, is a ral leader. OK maybe not what we want for a leader, but hell how could we do worse than what we have. He knows he can be gracious and still rule. And unlike obama who thinks he has absolute power, Putin actually does. I bet Putin would be fun to have a beer with, assuming you don't piss him off or on him and end up in s gulag

36 I was in college at UND in 1980 when we beat the Russians Never saw anything like it. It was HUGE there. People stopping their cars in the middle if the street horns honking shouting screaming partying. Remember the game was played in the afternoon, and they wouldn't show it live We heard it on the radio And then watched it that night

53 ND had all those nuke missiles too. If we left the union, we would've been number 3 on the list of countries with the most nukes. We were never taught to go under our desks during an attack. We were ground zero. We would just die immediately. So yea, we hated the soviets. Beating them was huge

61 Although there's no comparison, I actually enjoyed the Women's Cross-Country Relay this morning. There was an exciting finish with the Swede, in distant third place, busted her ass and took first place in the last 100 yards or so. And, she was outside her own sport. She's usually a sprinter and not a distance competitor. Team USA was way back on that one.

122 Beating Russia does not equal beating the USSR. I remember when the Olympics was a massive East/West battle where we would hang on every contest. The East German Women's (Fill in the team) were always worth a watch just because the sheer audacity of their doping. The thought always was "are they going to catch their cheating and make everything right?"..... kind of like watching what the OVomit Regime does.

130 I'm not sure I'm a big fan of the shootout format that allows the same shooter to go multiple times. I kind of like when they get down into their third or fourth line forwards or D-men. I'd probably even like it if the back-up goalie got to take a shot.

225 Goalies get knocked in to the goal all the time, and sometimes the goal gets dislodged. When that happens, play is suspended until it is fixed. Phaeton have you ever watched hockey before

226 The GDR fed over 10,000 of their young atheletes steroids really fucking them up for life. I'm sure Russia and the other eastern bloc countries did the same.

227 NBC really fucked up the coverage. People want to see things live and with out all the blah blah blah. The fact that pink eye thought he was the center of the olympics and wouldn't go the fuck home, is an example of how stupid NBC is. *** About 85% of what I have seen of the Olympics has been on the sports channel, sometimes at 3 or 4 in the morning. I try to suffer through the pm lineup of bullshit; Costas, Lauer,, etc... but it's not easy.

hopefully the WHOLE F'N WORLD now knows how great Oshie is! When the shootout started, my kids & I were saying, "We hope Oshie gets at least ONE shot. Surely Team USA can't have 3 sharpshooters better than Oshie is, can they?" Little did we know!

By the way, Team Russia must have some unbelievably damn fine sharpshooters, if they can afford to leave Vladimir Tarasenko (!) ON THE BENCH during a shootout?

282 After review, the officials waved off Fedor Tyutin's apparent go-ahead goal because the net was loose, incensing the Russian crowd. Quick claimed he didn't even realize the net had come unmoored several seconds earlier. Officials caught it The goalie didn't even realize it Pretty bad cheating

Posted by: Thunderb at February 15, 2014 08:03 AM (zOTsN)

292 I go to half the Blues games, and Oshie definitely has some great hands, but his all around game is solid. Also enjoyed seeing Backes piss off the commies with regularity. And finally, it was great being able to enjoy Quick's performance in net. That guy is uber-aggressive taking away angles, and lateral agility is off the charts good. He sticks it to the Blues every time, and I usually hate that guy, purely out of respect.

Posted by: Dave S. at February 15, 2014 08:37 AM (UvR6d)

293 Best match I have seen in years. I think the ref flubbed it with the voided 3rd goal though. The ruskies got robbed. Something I didn't know until my wife pointed it out. Putin was there, natch, but what most people outside of Russia don't know is that he brought with him many wounded vets from the Afghanistan war. Today 25 years ago the USSR officially left Afghanistan.
