I hadn't seen the one of him yelling it on the ice. Excellent.
Also, I'd say at least a million Americans were yelling BOBROVSKY after that breakaway save. 2/15/2014 2:15:58 PM |

Easier to write 3-0. I wish the NHL went to the 3 point system though. Only thing I'd change is to give the full three points to a winner of an OT period, and split the points only if it goes to a SO.
Also, this game going to OT gives us the 2 seed and puts us against the winner of the CZE/SVK game on Wednesday.
It also puts us on a collision course with Canada in the semis. Yikes.

Yes, it's easier to write 3-0, but 3-0-0-0 and 2-1-0-0 are distinctly different records in this competition. 2/16/2014 2:48:39 PM |

2013 IIHF rankings for the teams that play/played today: 1. Sweden 2. Finland 3. Russia 4. Czech Republic 5. Canada 6. USA 10. Latvia 15. Slovenia
Not that they are necessarily the favorites, but they aren't an inferior team, especially with Lundqvist in goal.

Sweden's pretty solid. Any of Sweden/Finland/Canada/USA have a shot at gold. Finland is behind the other 3 as far as talent, but they play well as a team. I wouldn't have put Russia in that group even before the loss a few minutes ago, but they'd be #5 in that group if you wanted to add a fifth member. 2/19/2014 10:03:28 AM |
