The Natural Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Go on Team GB! Missed the last two men's games but heard we won on the final stone both times. Shame Team GB womens won't be in the Gold medal match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Kaillie Humphries defends her women's bobsleigh gold medal! Nice, she's a hell of a unique character. I like her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie M. Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Yeah she pretty much breaks any stereotype you might try to apply to her. The US pilot was a disaster and only there because of incredible starts. I guess that's why they do four runs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Watching the GB-Sweden semifinal replay on NBCOlympics.com... man, Great Britain really got out of jail, their opponents are sitting 2 with three rocks to play, and just as important, NO GB rocks are in the house.

pipGofern Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Tears in Sochi as EVE~! and her fellow Scottish lasses put on a second half clinic to close out the Swiss and win Bronze for GB. I missed the first half but a botched blank doomed the Swiss down the stretch. Nice job by the Team GB ladies. Hope to see your big blue eyes again in four years... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dewar Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Nice to see Jennifer Jones win the gold medal. Possibly the best female curler of all time gets the big one. This is probably the last we see of that team, so it's great to see them go out on top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 First time I've seen Jones go through a tournament without having *that game* that she mysteriously implodes, but when she doesn't do that, she's pretty much unbeatable.

Death From Above Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 It was all the referees, ask the St. Louis Blues fan all about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 It was all the referees, ask the St. Louis Blues fan all about it. No, the US blew that game all on there own: But the refs called one really really bad penalty on the slash that had no buisness at all being made, and one call on the breakaway that was rather iffy. Really, the slash is the one that changed the game more then anything: It went from a US PP to 4 on 4 which led to the breakaway. Without the really bad slash call, the breakaway doesn't happen. So either way, yeah, the refs had a lot to do with it. More to do with the Americans being unable to close out a 2 goal lead in the 3rd with 3 and a half minutes left, but yeah.

Yeah, I was waiting all week for "that game". I was hoping she would do it against South Korea in the last round robin game, but she got out of the early game funk, so then I was shit scared she was going to pull one of those games off in the playoffs. Won a quarter betting on the measurement in the 8th end, then won a dollar by betting that Canada would steal in the 9th. Free money and a Canadian gold medal? Good day!

elizium Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 The slash call was ridiculous, it was such a blatant case of trying to even up the sides. Apparently pushing your stick at the goalie's pads is a penalty. It would have been one thing if she was repeatedly doing it to try and jostle the puck out, but that wasn't the case at all.

I really tried keeping quiet throughout the women's draw, because I like the Jones rink so much, but was also waiting for "that game" to happen. The men, however... I mean, obviously I want them to win, because Canada. But man do I hate that Jacobs team. We need a real curling team as our reps, not freaks who just like hearing the rocks smash together so that they can flex and yell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Also, Ryan Fry is a sissy for running away from Manitoba because he could never be better than Burtnyk/Stoughton/Peters/McEwan.
