Official 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics - Men's Hockey thread

[Drummond]

You realise that NHL games can be scores similar to Soccer....

And how many shots does each team tend to have in a game? Would it even be 10? Exciting.

 

[TheStinger]

Slovakia scores on the PP. Gabo with a sweet wrister into the top corner.

Sometimes more, depending on the game. I fail to see how a scoreline can dictate how exciting a game can be.

I would ask more but I dont want to drag this out into a long debate in a Hockey thread.



2-1 Slovaks.

 

[TheStinger]

Another PP goal to Slovakia. Marian Lossa.....I mean Hossa, scores a garbage goal.

My dislike for him has no bearing on this post.

 

[TheStinger]

Did Radovojevic just get done on video evidence? I don't think the refs saw it initially but saw the whack in the head on Jokinen on the replay board.

And Slovakia scores on the PK. Demitra with the SH. 3-1 Slovakia.

Last one. I agree low scoring games can be exciting, but nearly every single game? Gets a bit much. But yeah, we'll end it there because we could be here a while.

I'm laughing at how inept the Finns are at almost every aspect of the game.

Well, I did say they don't look good 5 on 5 and struggle to score on it. They've also struggled on the PP since the German game and thats no surprise as Germany were shit!

Linesmen are allowed to inform the Refs after the play is over of a double minor high stick. First time I saw this was in a San Jose game last season.

I'm not sure that the linesman even was sure about it. He chased after Jokinen to have a look at his cheek and then went and saw the ref. He might have seen something but I don't know how much he saw.

 

[TheStinger]

Jokinen makes it 3-3. Game on!

 

[TheStinger]

OJ goes 5 hole and makes it 4-3 Finland. I hope the Gold match is this good.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Finns get some help by the undiscipline play of the Slovaks and a mistake by Halak.

Kipper with some grand theft larsony late on and then helped by the post. I couldn't even see Kipper late on in that game there was that many bodies infront of the net.

 

[TheStinger]

Slovakia had so many chances at the end there but somehow it stayed out. Good on the Finns, bouncing back from that pasting in the semi.

 

[red+black]

i think its a 4.00am start on Monday morning...all nighter?? i think so.

1215hrs at Vancouver = 0645hrs in Adelaide, 0715hrs in Sydney/Melbourne

Can someone confirm that it is 0715 Monday Melbourne time? And if so, what channel? Nein, or one of the Foxtel channels (which I haven't paid for)?

Foxtel will be live, Nine wont be apparently. Live it starts 7:15 Melb.

 

[Drummond]

I cannot believe on the last day of the Olympics, the much anticipated USA/Canada Gold medal game, Nine will be showing the Today show instead. Yes that's right, the Today show.

They have done it with grand slam finals and final round of golf majors. Doesn't surprise me at all.

Tip;

Canada 3 USA 2

 

[red+black]

So the only way to see the Ice Hockey final is to get a $10 day pass for channel 189 - Creekside?

I will probably do this.

Schedule says 7:10 - 10:15 in the morning, and repeated 3 times during the day.

 

[Bradesmaen]

So the only way to see the Ice Hockey final is to get a $10 day pass for channel 190 - Vancouver?

I will probably do this.

That is to see it live and uninterrupted without annoyance. If you want to watch it delayed. Nine will show it after the today show (as far as I know, I am not certain) and interrupted with ads (since it is delayed).

 

[red+black]

Some of us a) want to watch sport live, and b) have day jobs. I could watch it live and get to work a little late but it doesn't look like I have that option. Stupid Optus Customer Service is only open M-F 8-7 and Sa 9-5 . Why the **** do I need to actually talk to someone to book PPV? Even the Foxtel system is stupid, where it allows you to purchase via a home phone connection. Um, hello, some of us don't need, want or have a home phone.

****

 

[Bradesmaen]

Only other way is not high quality internet stream. It'd probably be a gigs worth of download, if you want to go that route.

 

[red+black]

Yeah I might have to give that option a go. Thanks!

Channel 9: supposedly showing the 3rd period live at 9am, then at 10am will show the whole match on delay.
