Game Thread: Finland vs. Russia

[quoipourquoi]

I'll make you guys a bet: If Russia ties the game, I'll finish what's left of my Valentine's vodka before the GWG. I got nowhere to be today.

Finland's got this. Rask isn't going to choke away a two goal lead. Famous last words, I know, but he's playing great, as usual.

Oh, man, BBC just replayed that Ovechkin shot. Wide open side, and he put it into the crest...

Russia is done.

Rask had a 3-0 lead in Game 7 of a series that he once led 3-0. AND LOST.

Trust no one. Scully taught me that.

I'll take that bet. I have four Newcastle's in the fridge. If Russia wins, I'll down them before the next match.

True, but he's got his countrymen in front of him with a chance to dispose of their hated rival to the east. It's time to kick some commie ass!!

Must be nice (Amurphy) being at home and able to drink.

I'm trying not to salivate too hard at the idea of Sweden/Finland in one Semifinal and USA/Canada in the other. This game has me nervous.

 

[quoipourquoi]

Here they come. That seemed like a short break.

The funny thing is the Sweden/Finland rivalry is more important to the Finns than the Swedes. But firsy things first, dispose of these Russkies.

Jari Kurri looks sharply dressed, Kevin Lowe looks like he's been on a 3 day bender.

I'm working second shift right now, so it won't Maatta if I'm a little drunk before lunchtime.

So, what's Rask's SV% so far this game? Hopefully not time for it to even out to his .928 with some weak goals.

What composure to protect the puck after his stick broke.

Oh snap.

 

[quoipourquoi]

Have the Russians attempted a pass that wasn't 100 feet away?

 

[evolver115]

Penalty coming up. Drawn by Geno

 

[quoipourquoi]

Bad back pass caused that opportunity. Not sure I like the call...

 

[dare2be]

I'm hoping that evolver is the one drinking this morning and not quoi.

Russians are losing their composure, I love it.
