Just over an hour

Until THE highlights of this Winter Olympics.

The two best ice hockey nations in a mighty clash in the quarterfinals. One of them is going home with NOTHING.

I wouldn't like to guess the outcome of this one. Canada has the greater depth in the squad but Russia has the biggest stars.

 

[Colossal Squid]

I am WELL excited about this.

GO RUSSIA

 

[The Wizard]

I don't know f*** all about Hockey but I can't wait. :dance:

Will take something special to beat the ski cross though.

 

[SeagullTim]

Gone for Canada to win in 60 at 2.10. Good display against Germany, although they were abysmal, will have got their confidence back up.

Will probably depend on whether they can shut Ovechkin down. Will be a very good game.

 

[Colossal Squid]

COME ON YOU RUSKIES

 

[Colossal Squid]

COME ON THEN CANUCKS

 

[SeagullTim]

Excellent start

 

[Colossal Squid]

What an ABSOLUTE f***ing JOKE.

I had naturally assumed this would be on the BBC, especially considering they like to showcase as much as they can on the interactive channels usually HOWEVER we have a choice of CURLING on BBC Tow OR the SAME Curling on the red button.

This is NOT fair

 

[SeagullTim]

BBC Sport - Vancouver 2010 - Live - Winter Olympics Day 13

 

[Juan Albion]

3-0 to the good guys! Yaaaaaaaaaaaayy!!!!!

 

[SeagullTim]

13 minutes in, 3-0.

Too easy.

 

[Colossal Squid]

I THANK YOU

What absolute stupidity by the BBC to ignore such a big event.

I can appreciate there's a British interest in the men's curling BUT why not just put the hockey on the red button?

I'm pressing my red button and yet it gives me a choice of only the curling OR the exact same curling.

JOKE

 

[Colossal Squid]

Tuned in just in time to see the MIGHTY Russia pull one back.

First of MANY

 

[Juan Albion]

4-1 after 20 minutes

 

[Juan Albion]

But if any team can come back from 4-1, it is the Russians.

 

[Juan Albion]

As an aside, I currently live right next to the Trans-Canada Highway, and looking out of my window I can hardly see any traffic at all. Really, really quiet out there. I suspect the viewing figures in this country are going to be a record.

 

[Colossal Squid]

Well it stands to reason that the Canadians would want to see their country's last Hockey game in this year's Olympics

Ha ha. 6-1 to the boys!

 

[Colossal Squid]

DAMMIT why do I ALWAYS back the loser?

I thought after doing Charlton last night the tide might be turning

 

[Vankleek Hill Seagull]

7-2 and the Russian goaltender has been replaced after letting in 6 goals from 23 shots.
