Pelle Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Niskanen is still very young and looks to be very promising... gold in 2018! And we're still gonna beat you in hockey! I fear that, especially now when Zetterberg is gone. The games against Finland are always tough. But I'll always remember when we were 5-1 down and turned it around to win 6-5. But IIRC we had 3 of the absolute best players in the world at that time in Forsberg, Sundin and Lidström. They were truly world class all of them.

ThunderPower_14 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I know this is brought up a lot but the winter olympics is just babe after babe. Every competitor is hot. I mean the worst of the worst there is probably still like a 7.5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowychap Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) Scottish woman has been given another penalty in the speed skating - this time in the 1500m. Commentary team seem baffled. Edited February 15, 2014 by snowychap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowychap Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 She seems to have come so far inside on the last bit that she has been deemed not to have crossed the finish line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were truly world class all of them. 1995 - 2011 - 2014 NEVER FORGET! but seriously, I can't believe how unbelievably badly finnish women played today. Deserved to lose with that kind of playing. Silver by finnish women in cross-country relay was great achievement but losing gold to sweden always stings. It's starting to look that finnish cross-country skiing has/will finally recover(ed) from the doping scandal from 2001.

hogso Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Sounds like one the Russian lady skiers has been seriously injured in training, not many details are the moment though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandaq Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I am kinda loving this, Norway has done much worse than they expected. They think so highly of their skiers, it`s quite funny when literally everyone of them missed the medals now. At least the "safe" ones. Talking about scandal on TV and what not, lol. It`s great. It has gotten more and more primadonna style over the whole thing, what about concentrating on the sport and just the sport, not the medical, advertising and so forth? Gotta say I love it, they deserve it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted February 15, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted February 15, 2014 That womens cross country relay was fooking amazing. How in the name of sweet baby jesus din Kalla catch the Fin and the German?!??!! 27 seconds in 5km with the other two fighting for gold, and she did the hunting by herself. I'm an absolute awe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vandaq Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I was pretty shocked how bad coverage bbc actually had, and how inexperienced some of their commentators were. Not that it is even close to being big over there but still, it was kinda weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they are in the Olympics. Five minute penalty for fighting (actually dropping the gloves and duking it out, as opposed to just a bit of push and shove) in the NHL. Fighting in the Olympics gets you ejected from the game and a match penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
