kyle21121 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 So USA played way better and wanted it more and congrats to them they truly deserved to win however that being said I really hate that this had to end in a shootout it honestly should have gone to another OT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mse326 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 That move by Lamoureux in the shoot-out was absolutely filthy. And Maddie Rooney was great in goal all game and a huge save at the end of OT. This rivalry is really great. Always close. Well done USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle21121 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I wonder if my expectations were too high watching these Olympics. I'm sure many Americans probably feel the same way regarding their country but right now Canada is sitting in 2nd in medal count and US 4th I believe. Which is very good. I've just been disappointed with some choking I've seen in events we've been favoured to win Gold and end up with either Silver or Bronze and other events where we were supposed to medal but have finished 4-10th range some of its just losing to better competition and not so much a choke job. Just sitting 9 back on the overall lead in medals (or 14 back in US case) you think of all the missed opportunities as I'm sure expectations for USA is to win most medals all the time and recently in the Winter Olympics that's become a Canadian goal as well. Dont get me wrong I've had a lot of fun watching a lot of different events that I wouldn't normally watch or care about stuff like the Biathlon or Nordic Combined have provided me lot of enjoyment and short track speed skating and the sliding events (luge, skeleton, bobsled) are ridiculous to watch that I normally wouldn't care about at all and all the freestyle ski events that I love plus alpine skiing it's been great to watch. To see surprise winners or surprise medals, upsets if you will that offset some disappointments in other events is really cool it looks like Canada should set a new record for medals at a Winter Olympics this year. Norway a country with the population of metropolitan Detroit is a Damn behemoth though. They have been killing it all Olympics. Overall this has been a very thrilling Olympics for me to watch despite some disappointing results at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mse326 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Disagree with the women's figure skating. Zagitova isn't nearly as good as she is scored in the components. There is no actual feeling or performance it's more intellectual about what should go where when. And the skating around for half a program and then doing nothing but jumps is not appealing as routine. She is a great technician but it's supposed to be about more than that. Medvedeva should have won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 OMG am I'm dreaming? Germany somehow was able to beat world champion Sweden and now 9-time olympic winner Canada in the ice hockey semi-final. I know the NHL players aren't participating, but that's still one of the biggest surprises i can think of. Probably the best performance any german ice hockey team has ever done. In the finals we will play against Russia, which i guess could be even harder. Well we don't have any pressure, so we'll see what happens there.

berlin calling Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 chances are russians are dopes, too. anyway, greatest achievement in german ice hockey history since going bronze in 76. go get em boys and go home heroes in a country very few care for hockey ffs.

Chinaski_86 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 This time her gold medal wasn't a huge surprise (she was the favorite) so Ledecka pulls off the historic double gold. Finland finally win their first gold! Niskanen wins the men's 50km cross country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about that, the story of this team has been told numerous times on these telecasts. That really was a great match though. Actually really close. It really only came down to one shot that Edin missed by maybe an inch so he didn't get as much roll. And the run USA went on was stupid good. Sweden, Switzerland, Canada x2. They definitely earned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
