Olympic Hockey: USA 3 - Kazakhstan 0 at the end of the second period

[sasquatch]

:patriot:

Earlier today Switzerland beat the Czech republic 3-2 in a shocking upset.

1. I'm rooting for Kazakhstan

not cause I don't love my country, but because the US does too well in the Olympics, and I like rooting for the underdog.

3. Borat salutes you

2. SPOILER alert?

:shrug:

[tcfrogs]

6. It's on live this afternoon

Probably on USA, if I remember correctly.

[tjwash]

4. I don't know why, but I get sort of a weird thrill when the USA loses.

Like the mens basketball team, stacked full of cocky, overpaid, NBA crybabies getting beat by a team that actually wanted it worse then them a couple of years ago.

I just think it's sorta cool.

I do admit, I miss the old "rivalry years" against the Soviets. Those were "us versus them" in the biggest sense of the words. The Soviets had that big red CCCP on their uniforms, they hardly ever smiled, it was just, what international competition against superpowers was meant to be.

5. exactly

I really hate the fact that pros are in the Olympics, hockey is all NHL guys, where's the fun in that?

[SaveElmer]

10. Well if it helps...

Most of the teams from the other countries have NHL guys as well...I see nothing wrong with it.

16. Nothing wrong with having NHL guys in the Olympics...

people don't seem to understand that if we (unilaterally) sent our college guys we'd get crushed.

I'd rather see the best players, period, than just the best "amateurs".

7. Throw the goalie down the well,

so my country can be free. :D

[sasquatch]

12. He ain't doing too bad

I figure we'd be beating them by like 6 goals, but it ain't happening.

[Ryano42]

8. Why I am a goalie...

I will never forget that day... :patriot:



and they should be ALL Amatuers!

[Ron Mexico]

9. The Russians who supposedly had no chemistry routed Sweden today

5-0. I keep telling anyone who listen that Russia is a real threat. After today, I imagine people will realize I wasn't kidding.

[Ryano42]

11. But everyone says...

Iran is the big threat?!?

:dunce:

[Ron Mexico]

14. Oh, right. We have to destroy them. Your point is well taken.

Whatever we have, send it over there now and turn the place into a parking lot, because killing brown people is what we do.

Was that convincing? Do you want to bomb some countries now? I hope so, or you hate our soldiers and hate America!

(I tried, but I can't hold it in anymore... :puke: )

[Ryano42]

18. Well done!

Very convincing! :rofl:

And Iran's hockey team SUCKS!!!! :rofl:

[sasquatch]

13. The Russians, always have been and always will be, good at hockey

EOM.

[sasquatch]

15. Game over! Final score: USA 4 - Kazakhstan 1

:patriot:

[jakefrep]

17. Woohoo!

We're back on the right track, I hope.
