Is it a coincidence that the teams with Oilers on them are all eliminated? I think not.

@ Slovakia, Czech Republic, and Russia...

I think is going to come out a totally different team against USA.

I think got enough wake up calls with theses games. Time for them to play like they are supposed to.

I think is going to come out a totally dominate team Canada.

I think is playing like a team and are all in sync. They're rolling right now.

And they have 2 Maple Leafs on their team. How can they got wrong?






You guys better pray there isn't a 4-1 lead with 10 minutes left.

Tavares out will be the spark that needs.

Subban is probably going to be in.

57 shots on goal for teh .....and two goals?

It's official: Ovechkin cements his status as Big Game Choke Artist In Chief!

At least he has that going for him, and so does Mother Russia.

The only team that has the slightest chance of stopping Finland would be the Aquabats and even that isn't a sure thing.

SOCHI -- One of these days, people will learn to stop underestimating Finland at the Olympics.

The team that has won more Olympic men's hockey medals than any other nation since NHL players were first involved in 1998 guaranteed itself a chance to play for another one at the 2014 Sochi Olympics after beating the host Russians 3-1 in the quarterfinals on Wednesday.

Does that factor in if The Dude is summoned?
I think if The Dude is summoned, the scales may shift...ever so slightly.

It just never ends. Facts that Finlandia has truly earned its IIHF ranking.

The hatred grows.

I know the Finns are a force to be reckoned with.

In this kind of tournament anything can happen & any team has a chance.

It just occurred to me that we have reached the "play your neighbor" round of the Olympic hockey tournament. East side Finland vs west side Sweden and north side Canada vs south side USA. Border battles all around.

If the goalie was Niemi or Crawford for Latvia, it would've been 14-1 for Canada. The Latvian goalie played his brains out.

Give them some credit.

Tavares is done for the season with a torn MCL and a torn meniscus.

As much as I'd love to blame the Olympics this could have happened at a World Cup as well. Only difference being this happened in the middle of a season and has now pretty much ended any chance the Isles had at a post season berth. Not that their chances were good with him anyway.

Sorry he is hurt & sorry the surging Islanders most likely lost any chance they had.
