I surprised there are no other streams up

[AzNightmare]

our online stream has been disabled as it was affecting the network/bandwith. We're all crowded in the kitchen watching on the TV!

Same here. I have my headphones on now on high volume, in hopes I won't hear them.

I actually like my own personal space at my desk, and plus, I get to use RS...
Although it doesn't sound like there's a lot of people on right now.
Probably all busy watching it on TV. :alone:

[MG1]

Nothing beats watching via cable.

I found a room in the corner of the building at work. All by myself watching game on 60 inch flat screen and surround sound via pieces of equipment borrowed from other rooms, LOL.

Too bad hot coworker called in sick today. I dare not let others at work find out about my little secret hiding place.

Seniority rules, man.

I watched the first 2 periods with the CBC Sochi app. Its stopped working for me at the start of the third. I've watched that sportchek commercial at least ten times now.

A number of establishments are licensed to serve liquor starting at 9am, it's just that usually most bars/pubs don't open till 11am for lunch rush as they don't expect people to drink at 9am lol. Blackbird had a good sized crowd today drinking at early.

Well at least they dressed incase they needed them to play, unlike Subban who was told to sit out lol. Not surprising, not too many hockey people trust Subban in crunch time, he's likely to cost you the game as much as he'll win you a game with a goal.

Kaner is awesome. It seems like he plays with his heart on his sleeve. Here's a post-game interview from this year after a game which he played short after hearing that his grandpa died. Different crying context, but still shows a different side from the (shall we say, now old) drunk, party-animal, cabbie-beating Patrick Kane.

Patrick Kane Honors Dead Grandfather, Breaks Down After Game (http://deadspin.com/patrick-kane-honors-dead-grandfather-breaks-down-after-1515831526)

I'm probably speaking too soon about him changing, and we'll probably see him on Deadspin again in the near future. But all indications this season (including lighting up opponents) seem to point to a reformed Kane.

Which is why I said team(s). Mens team wouldn't do that. They all play in the NHL and play on same teams and whatnot.

In the interview between periods, Wickenheiser was pretty upset by it. It was done at the last Olympics, too.

After losing all those times, maybe the yanks should stop doing it. Totally classless, in any case.

And not only that, but it wasn't even from this year, it was from 98 I believe. So many people have misunderstood that segment with don cherry.

The moment this game went full on north south.. you can see the USA defence crumble as the game went on. Eventually line up the red wall to force the US skaters to play chase was the worst thing to happen to team USA.

[fliptuner]

I felt that the majority of our defense was a solid offence but when we did have to play in our zone, it was gritty and effective. A few US opportunities here and there but that's what Price is for. The combination of size, speed, skill, attitude and coaching was awesome.

Absolutely amazing to watch the 2 best teams play a chess match, offence vs. defense, great coach vs. great coach, then add in the history involved = epic.

No all stars, no MVP's, just the best players with a common goal.

Finland - scored the most goals through the hole tournament. Who would have guessed that prior to the tournament?

[Gumby]

Sundin critical of Russian performance (from http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=444379):

"I was almost disgusted by their performance when they played Finland," said the 43-year-old who played 18 seasons in the NHL. "I look at the Finnish team and they're missing key players. They don't have any of their big stars and now [Rask] is hurt and that Russian team is stacked with great players and to come out and have that performance they had in the quarterfinals. It was an absolutely heartless performance.

"It was very disappointing and I don't think it's very good for hockey either to have them out of their home tournament. You wonder when you have Putin in the stands on home ice and you can't get heart out of these guys? What's going to bring it out? I don't know," he said.

Sundin believes simply chalking up Russia's crashing out of the tournament to the tremendous pressure the team was under is a bit of a cop-out.

"Even though you're nervous or you have a lot of pressure built up, you can always still get into the motions and show that you're actually trying," said the former first-overall pick by the Quebec Nordiques in the 1989 NHL Entry Draft. "We didn't see anything of that in the quarterfinal."

[Not really racist!]

So Kesler is gonna return with no medal, a hand injury, and then has to watch 4 of his teammates return with gold and silver medals.

At least he was fighting till the bitter end trying to generate a goal until the final buzzer sounded

but tfw Selanne and Salo were close to tears probably knowing its their last Olympics

[fliptuner]

I missed the game but damn, looks like I'm going to enjoy the replay.

And yeah, Kes is going to come back pretty banged up. No one can question the guys heart though.

[Ronin]

Yay Suomi! I'll cheer for any team with Sami Salo on it and WTF Teemu...are you really 42? That guy looks like he could Chelios his way to another few years.

FORSBERG UNHAPPY WITH SELECTION OF CANADIAN OFFICIALS FOR FINAL

Colorado Avalanche and Swedish legend Peter Forsberg didn't mince words when it came to what he thought about Canadian referees working Sunday's gold medal game between Sweden and Canada.

"What a f___ing joke!" the seven-time All-Star said to Swedish reporters, calling the selection of officials Kelly Sutherland, Brad Meier, Greg Devorski and Derek Amell "comedy at its highest level."

Referees Sutherland and linesmen Devorski and Amell are Canadian, while referee Meier is an American who makes his home in Calgary.

Not all Swedes are seemingly as upset as Forsberg.

Veteran Swedish defenceman Niklas Kronwall of the Detroit Red Wings believes that both teams can benefit from North American officials.

"We are used to having referees from USA and Canada in the NHL," said Kronwall. "We know their standards so I think it's easier for us too if the referees are from there."

Former Norris Trophy winner and Ottawa Senators standout Erik Karlsson agreed with his fellow blueliner.

"I think most referees over there [in the National Hockey League] are Canadian, too," said Karlsson. "They probably support Montreal or Toronto, but they don't make any difference there. I couldn't care less about what the referees do. As you saw yesterday, we had two power plays, Finland had a lot, and we still won the game. It's nothing we can control and neither can Canada."

IIHF officiating manager Konstantin Komissarov later confirmed the evaluation process for tournament officials and why that quartet was selected to work the final.

"The main factor of the selection of these officials has most of all to do with their experience officiating in high-level competitions," said Komissarov on Saturday. "These include Stanley Cup playoffs, World Championship competitions, and Olympic competitions."

Komissarov stressed that an official's nationality doesn't play into the process.

"Their nationalities aren't considered as factors nor should they be, we want the best officials working the medal games," he said. "We are fully confident that with their experience and professionalism these officials will do their job well and preserve the integrity of the game."

:seriously: He admitted to throwing a game of the 2006 round robin to avoid Canada in the knockout round :fulloffuck:

Ahh, Tortorella and his big mouth:

Canucks' Tortorella cheering for Sweden in gold medal game (http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=444459)
Vancouver Canucks head coach John Tortorella won't be watching the gold medal game on Sunday between Canada and Sweden, but that doesn't mean he's not pulling for a team.

Tortorella told The Vancouver Province he'll be cheering for Team Sweden to win gold when they take on the defending Olympic champions on Sunday morning.

"I hope Sweden wins, cause I don't think Hammer (Dan Hamhuis) is going to play, judging by what's happened. I don't think Lui (Roberto Luongo) is going to play. So, I don't give a s--- about (Canada) right now because they're not playing. I just want them back here," Tortorella told the Province.

Tortorella, born in Boston, Mass., said most of all he hopes the result helps his team when his players return.

"I hope Daniel (Sedin) scores two, (Alex) Edler gets three assists and Sweden wins. So they come back feeling good about themselves because it's going to help us. That's all I'm concerned about right now. The Vancouver Canucks," Tortorella said to the Province.

The Canucks sent seven players to the 2014 Sochi Games, including forward Ryan Kesler, who along with Team USA, lost the bronze medal game to Finland on Saturday. Tortorella said he wasn't concerned about Kesler's return to NHL action after his Olympic letdown.

"That's a tough game. It's a tough one. Especially after US-Canada, to lose that game and come back the next day and play. I'm not trying to make any excuses. I don't even want to get involved in it. But if I know Kes, he's a horse. He'll be ready to play," Tortorella promised the Province.

Tortorella says it's Sedin and Edler that he's more concerned about seeing lose.

"It's the other two guys (Edler and Daniel). Those are important guys for us that we need to get going. Danny has played well. I watched Edler make a couple really nice offensive plays on some highlights. That Alfredsson goal he made a nice play. I hope they fill the net and feel great about themselves," Tortorella told the Province.

Tortorella was an assistant coach for the United States at Vancouver 2010, when the team won silver after an overtime loss to Canada.

[Manic!]

So stay up or wake up?

[fliptuner]

Torts = Canucks first attitude = I'm okay with it.

So stay up or wake up?

Be tired enough to sleep at 9pm, then wake up. Chances of ripping it DT after gold medal = high.

KESSSSSSLER!

[spoon.ek9]

I see nothing wrong with what Torts said in that statement. He is the coach of our team, of course he cares more about how it will affect the Canucks upon their return.

[Ronin]

I'm cool with what Torts said. Just like I was cool with Kesler hating Canada. They aren't Canadian. Their only tie to this country is that they're paid to play here. They may be loyal to Vancouver but they have no obligation to cheer for Canada or even like Canada.

Torts has it right. No bullshit. All business.

[mb_]

So stay up or wake up?

I'm staying up probably

[MG1]

I will just nap as usual. Sleep is overrated. Power napping is where it's at. 4 to 5 hours of contiguous sleep then two one hour or so naps in between.

[PeanutButter]

From the evidence presented to us in school, it shows that a minimum of 4 REM cycles for adults (at least ~7 hours) during sleep is the optimal amount of REM cycles needed to maintain brain health. Especially for optimal cognitive ability.

I know REM isn't where the brain relaxes and starts to regenerate, but they use REM cycles because four REM cycles guarantees enough time in deep sleep.

I was surprised that any jewelry was allowed at all. Marie-Philip Poulin was wearing 3 earrings, a necklace, rings and a bracelet in the gold medal game.

I spent a couple days in Helsinki this past summer. Those people love hockey. Knowing I'm from Canada, they were eager to talk about Selanne and other heroes like Saku Koivu, Janne Niinimaa and Jyrki Lumme. I told them how much of a Sami Salo fan I am.

Why would they not be allowed to wear jewelry?

They have gloves and full shield/cage helmets. Nothing's exposed.

[fliptuner]

Just more things to get caught on errant sticks or if a helmet gets knocked off and catches an earring on it's way off.

[AzNightmare]

I guess that would make sense in the men's league, but I'll find it pretty hard for a full caged helmet to get knocked off if it was put on properly in the first place.

[Tim Budong]

i dont kno
but im anticipating for it

[Gumby]

I never wore any jewelry when playing hockey in fear of losing or breaking it.

[fliptuner]

Snow + gold + torches lit = I'd totally want to go

That's true but I suppose it seemed out of place more than anything else.

[Jonydakiller]

What second bet did you choose?

If you want a safe bet just go live betting and select anything under 1.05 to parlay with. Im probably going for the team canada specials, CAN to win in 60mins and allow under 1.5 goals for SWE, pays 3.30
good luck!

You guys up?

Go Canada Go!!!

[slicrick]

Of course I want Canada to win gold, but it's a win win for me no matter who wins.

I would rather see Canada win because patriotism and seeing St Louis win a gold after being left off the team would be awesome same with Benn.

If Sweden wins get to see my favorite player (Lundqvist) win gold again and roll into NHL on a hot streak but NYR lost Zuccarello their leading scorer to injury only for 2 weeks but still bad news

[fliptuner]

They may have lost the chance to play for gold/silver but they truly WON bronze, with heart and class.
