OT: NHL Thread

[Forza Moskva]

pretty close game today. US blew many PP chances and that's what hurt them.
3 of their goals were from Power Plays....

Guess I spoke too soon yesterday...
besides the Battle of Stamford Bridge (let's go back to 1066), today is also Russia-Canada, the battle of the neutrals (Swiss-Sweden) , yeah, the States v. Finland - and do you think there's nothing at stake between two little places : the Czech Republic vs. Slovakia? Nah......
hafta give my props to the Arse, unless EVERYONE at Real has hit the wall....

Tom, I'm thinking about going to Nevada Smiths and watching the USA game there before the Chelsea match. You interested?

[chelsea new yorker]

S@@T Eddie, I'd love to, but I have an important luncheon meeting today - will have to take a raincheck on it - have fun - Jonathan M. may be there, and he holds Rangers season tix.

Rangers fans! BLAH! (I may go and look for him though. I have to stop at The Onion Bag in North Bergen first though and pick up some stuff.)

Yeah, I know he's unelightened, but he's not so crass that I have to say "1994" to him. He's moderately tall, dark brown hair, very WASPY (Mayflower descendant, actually) - glad you're going early. Jack Keane warned us two weeks ago that it would be as crowded as a WC Qualifier - both Chelsea and Barca have official supporteres groups at Nevadas - and I have met Jordi - who lives in NY, and is a former Barca vice chairman, and provided the autographed Barca jersey that hangs next to ours......
Then again, both Neat bros have a war going on - one likes the Islanders, the other the Rangers. Thank God for Wobbly and Pennucci, or I'd be the Devs fan in the wild, east of the Hudson.

I know who Jonathan is. I've gone to Metrostars games with him and Chopper. I am probably going to get there around 1:30 I think but I can't seem to find what time the USA game starts.

Please forgive me re: Jonathan. I have gone to only one Metrostars game- luckily, it was a good one- Metrostars 5-4 New England, with that sick Djorkiaeff goal! Having met Alexi and knowing that Marvell Wynne III will be playing has made Metros a much more attractive option.

I did mention to him that you'd probabaly pop in to Nevadas well before the Barca game.

The USA game starts at 1130! Better get moving!

Finita la comedia for US. Finland 4 - US 3

[Forza Moskva]

Well Eddie I hope you feel like a fool, saying Russia has no chance for gold, and that it would be between Canada/Czech Republic. Have fun!

I didn't say that they have NO chance. I just said that they tend to be flaky...which they are. They've played as well as anyone since their first game and I would have to think along with Finland, they are the favorites now.

Now where did BestBecks get to after talking all that garbage about the greatness of Canada?

I'm wondering the same thing. I wonder if he'll show up here ever again for that matter. Nabokov was amazing today btw. I will personally build a monument for him + ovechkin and Krikunov when I go to russia.

[Forza Moskva]

PS - Eddie get on aim I have an idea.......

Yeah I quite like the hockey, get freebies for MSG every season and that. Rangers fan naturally :D

the olympics? the Czech Republic, Finland, Sweden and Russia....I'd say it will be the Finns

ha, Finns? No way Monkee. I'm taping today's game b/w Russia and Finland, so don't tell me the results. But if Russia plays the same way as they did against Canada, Finns will lose.

then avoid this site during the game because I am "working" early today so I can watch both games here at work.

Yeah but if the Fins play the same way as they did against everyone else, Russia will lose.

as long as we can neutralize Sellane, we will be fine.

[chelsea new yorker]

I think Suomi is deeper, but Selanne is key.
Gonna be one hell of a game - only exceeded by that whuppin we're gonna give Barca in 1 1/2 weeks...
