Around SBN: Lance Berkman Could Have Torn ACL

Olympic Open Thread: February 16



Today is the Olympic debut for our boy Paul Stastny and the rest of this years US mens hockey team.  While many of you Canadian Avs fans may have no real rooting interest in Team USA, we can all root for Stastny to have a good showing.  The mid-day start time may keep a lot of people from being able to watch but several streams should be available.  NBC will be airing a live stream.  For those with TV access the game will be on USA (right after Curling). 

I don't know what is more obvious, Miller starting in net for USA or Anderson starting in the next (and every) Avalanche game.  Jonas Hiller will be in net for the Swiss team.  Defenseman Mark Streit, along with Hiller, are the only NHLers on the Swiss team.  While this may look like an easy win for Team USA, the NBC preview has a warning.

The Americans are not taking the Swiss lightly. They have scouted the exhibition games the Swiss have played in the run-up to the Olympics, as well as last year's meeting in the World Championships, a 4-3 OT loss in the second round of the tournament.

But, they understand that the Swiss will have the advantage of having played and practiced together as a team for the better part of the past week, while the Americans had a grand total of one practice together.

My prediction:  While Hiller and Streit may keep the game close, the US team has too much firepower to defend.  4-1 US win.

As I said on FB:

“Hopefully Stastinator doesn’t get too buddy-buddy with Twenty Cent Kaner. The last thing I ever want to see is Paul Stastny shirtless in a limo with his pants unzipped. (In other news: how will Ryan Miller like playing with a dude who assaulted a cab driver in his town?)”

“Duchene made his international debut at the 2008 World U-17 Hockey Challenge. He scored 10 points in 6 games to help Team Ontario to a gold medal. The same year, he was named to Team Canada’s under-18 team for the 2008 IIHF World U18 Championships in April and 2008 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament in August and won two more golds at those tournaments. Playing in his second major junior season, Duchene took part in Team Canada’s junior camp for the 2009 World Junior Championships, but was cut.2” Re: Wikipedia

I couldn’t tell if it had been hit by someone else. :)

As to your question about Luongo or Marty I have no freaking clue.

They’ve said that Brodeur will get the start, but Luongo hasn’t made a mistake and I’m wondering if they would mess with a good thing.

So an awesome thing happened on my home from class earlier

I’m on the highway, listening to the 2nd period. Canada scores making it 1-0, so I start honking my horn.
Couple seconds later, guy in front of me starts honking his horn. As well, a trucker next to me starts honking his.

When Canada makes it 2-0, I start honking again. This time, almost right right I do, both guys from before, and another two cars around me, all start honking.

Once I got off the highway I glanced at the trucker from earlier, and he’s there looking at me smirking and shrugs his shoulders. It didn’t seem like he was actually listening, but he obviously knew what was going on.

Looks like there will be a blowout after all!

All these penalties have been insane, you can really tell how hard it is to adjust to Olympic rules whether you’re from the NHL or Europe.

by xskatebakerrx on Feb 16, 2010 7:37 PM MST reply actions  

Yeah, watching this game, the U.S. will be in some pretty big trouble if they play as sloppy against Canada as they did today…

I don’t think the Swiss are playing as terribly as Norway has but those odd man rushes need to be controlled. I think the guys know that though, hopefully they’ll be able to work on that in the short time they are able to practice.

by xskatebakerrx on Feb 16, 2010 7:42 PM MST up reply actions  

Yeah, i think that practice will definitely help tighten things up, but Canada has looked pretty impressive

As long as this is how they continue to play, yes. If this is the their best game of the Olympics…

Yeah, as we discussed above the first period it seemed like they were holding the stick too tight and were looking for pretty goals rather than just putting the puck on net. They definitely worked that out of their system.

it’s even worse than when the Avs play over on the west coast. At least those games don’t start at 9.

It’s like only half of the stylesheet is loading for me.

The main article column is fine, but the left and right ones don’t have any styling or formatting to them.

It is crazy how much smaller the women’s hockey players look on the ice. I know that it’s kind of a “no duh” thing, but i can’t believe how noticeable the difference in size is.
