Um, Russia has some cool colors on thier jersey's eh?
and it wasnt that bad, they scored 3 goals!
They dished out a hit so hard they had to stop play and let the guy recover, that was a good one!
Oh yeah, Russia's goalie has a really neat looking mask.
Good Job Russia! You Guys are a good team!

the russians didnt do well? I expect nothing but greatness from a russian hockey team. I guess the team isnt what it used to be 10-20 years ago.

I myself was shocked, on paper, russia looked incredibly strong, I thought we would have destroyed the US AMERICANS but had a close one against the ruskies.
Was I ever wrong.

20 years ago Russia was the Soviet Union, therefore when they put a team together, they had all the best players not only from russia, but from all the satellite nations too.
None the less, the team was good, they just didnt want it as badly as the Canadians did.
They endlessly missed key passes, made passes when they should have hogged and hogged when they should have passed
Canada always had an open man ready to shoot at the net, with the D huddled around the goalie.
and the rebounds, ohh god the rebounds... its like the Russians didnt want any of that, it seemed their gameplay was let the Canadians shoot, hope it doesnt go in, then power out of the zone towards the other net... except thats a horrible play :/
and that one goal where the Canadian guy came from behind the net with NO opposition, its like the Russians didndt even realize he was there, thats not a mistake you make at the Olympics.
Anyway, i guess i'm cheering for Canada by default now :)

Canadians own at cycling the puck along the boards and they killed Russia in this area, led to a few goals...
Nabokov didn't play as well as he needed to in a big game, that's the problem with 1 game elimination matches, hockey is fairly random and a team can upset/dominate a match one night and then lose the following night...
I wish each round was like a best of 3 or 5 but that would take too long... but it would get rid of a lot of the randomness.
The Russia coach was an idiot and didn't switch Nabokov after the first 3-4 goals.... I would have pulled him after 3, if not, after the 1st period. He also had the 'right' for last shift because Russia finished better in the standings than Canada and he threw it out the window pretty much... the Canadians kept sending out Getzlaf/Perry/Staal against the big Ovie/Malkin/Semin line and the macth up worked brilliantly... and the stupid Russian coach didn't try and switch the lines up to get the match-ups he wanted (which he could have), epic fail.
