got dammit Kane

 

[davnlaguna]

Kane loo for 2

 

[BF4L]

WTF Kane

 

[quoipourquoi]

He's not finishing yet, but Kane is looking pretty good today. Not sure that will help his case with the media though.

What happened to Parise's thumb?

As a Hawks fan, I can tell you straight up that Kane is not good at penalty shots. The only 2 players we have that are worth a damn in shootouts is Toews and Sharp and they both play for Canada. Why do you think we are so good overall but so bad at shootouts, like 5-9 or something?

I want to show solidarity with my NA and sports SportsHoopla brethren but I find it so easy to cheer for Teemu and against Kane. I kind of also want Byslma exposed as a coach...

I am pretty openly cheering for Finland this tournament. Feel free to join the club.

Kane has to just hit the net. He's getting chances, but they've got to hit the net.

I've got my vBucks on Finland and the under, if that counts

you should have bet more than 10 and 22

 

[hokiehi21]

0 goals in 5 periods

 

[quoipourquoi]

Strange one to wrap around the net like that. But in the end, another Kane miss.

 

[stammer78]

Wow, USA trying everything to score goals including trying to say if the puck hits the outside of the net it should count as a goal!!

I... uh... never figured out how to gamble my original 500.

Okay... when I said Kane had to "just hit the net" earlier, I didn't mean literally.

 

[MrChangoT97]

20 minutes left, time for Team USA to show what their made of.

 

[quoipourquoi]

Oh, God, BBC showed a clip of the Bear head-banging. His head wobbled. I think there's a person under there!

Weird call.

Sounds like this rule used to exist in the NHL - but doesn't any more.

Right call, and I wish it was still in the NHL. I am still bitter about 94 when Richter's glove "fell off" and no penalty shot was awarded.

I put 5 pound weights in the American skates for practice. Thought it would make the faster during the game. I may have forgot to remove them

What the hell is McDonaugh doing on that play?

"Ranger" is now synonymous with "ill advised pinch". Cally yesterday and Mac today.

Where was this Finland yesterday?

He was sick. He looks much better today.

Yes, I know.
I am just trying to finally get over 9,000

Wasn't incredibly confident in those picks.
