Hockey Thread, US v. Canada, 4 on 4, Sudden Death
— Ace

On NBC now.

I'm told to avoid spoilers I should not tell you the exact situation. I will say that the situation is dramatic.

Livestream here.

This is women's hockey, the final game, I think.

3 Sudden DeathSounds like microaggression to me.

4 Just so everyone knows, this is the women's hockey game. Men's is tomorrow, high noon.

Posted by: BlueStateRebel at February 20, 2014 10:41 AM (7ObY1)

5 Do they really need to go to 4-on-4 on the giant metric ponds the Euros use?

Posted by: Waterhouse at February 20, 2014 10:42 AM (t8ySh)

6 3 Sudden DeathSounds like microaggression to me. They should just leave the score tied. No feelings get hurt and everybody gets a medal. Yeah, right!

15 5 Do they really need to go to 4-on-4 on the giant metric ponds the Euros use? I know, right? Those international hockey rinks are huge! But oddly enough, the goal creases are smaller than in the NHL. I guess because in int'l play you don't have so much rough stuff in front of the net. But the smaller creases worked to our advantage yesterday. One of those US goals would not have been a goal in the NHL.

26 There are twins on the USA women's team. Twins!

I saw one of the USA ladies skate through another player who tried to body block her. Laid her out, knocked her out, barely slowed down.

One of the ladies walks around at 150, bulked up to 180 and is still ripped.

Yeah no problem, like I said, I thought I was recording the men's finals. But as you point out, it is the women's finals. Do people really care about women's hockey (I dunno).

No getting by without playing Canada, so let's get it on and get it over with. Our boys are lookin' real good though. I think we have a good shot at it tomorrow.

112 So, why do they go to 4 on 3 instead of 3 on 2. That's counter intuitive, unless it's just that the ice is so big the team with the 2 could buy a lot of time sending the puck down ice.

And they should then go fuck themselves. If they wanted to win the gold medal, all they had to do was defeat Finland.

160 97 - Puck luck, it also helps if you drive to the net

True, it woulda been good to see the defenseman engage that center drive about 15' out instead of continuing to drift back. US was giving away the blue line on every rush down the stretch too. Afraid of getting beat clean I guess. Frustrating to watch.

164 What the female commentator said a few minutes ago makes a lot of sense: They had to lose a game to get the silver. Yep. The Canadians won a game to get the gold, and the Swiss won a game to get the bronze. Team USA had to lose the big game... just a few minutes ago... in order to get the silver. I'd cry my eyes out too. The frustration and disappointment must be awful.

Posted by: ParanoidGirlinSeattle at February 20, 2014 11:30 AM (RZ8pf)

172 But it was an absolutely bullshit make up slashing penalty for the Canadians when the US had that early powerplay in OT.
The reason that was called a slash was that the same U.S. player had been poking the Canadian goalie after the whistle before in the game (this isn't the NHL) and the ref warned both the player and the U.S. coach at the time that if it happened again, it would be called. The first time it happened (in the second?), the CBC's ex-player colour commentator pointed it out immediately including noting that the British ref discussed it with the Americans right away.
