Looks like Quick is getting game one for team USA.

Well, they had to invent and popularize the internet before it could begin.

The concept wasn't applied to skaters until mid 2000's, and only entered mainstream consciousness in the past 2-3 years.

That makes sense then. Thanks!

Jim Corsi, who was a goaltending Coach for the Sabres, came up with a system that was originally designed to quantify the work load his goaltenders were under in a game.

Timonen paired with Maata? Should be fun to watch what could have been

Also, didn't know Raffl had an older brother on the Austrian team as well.

anyone have a live stream to the game?

thanks for posting the schedule, sir

So, does Carter explode playing with Crosby?
- funmaster18

Not sure about Carter, but Pierre is likely to have an 'event'.

Edit: it's uncanny how much OEL looks like Lidstrom on the ice.

He could lead the tournament in goals.

I work from home 4 days a week and my company adopted a policy that if you can work from home but the office is closed due to weather, you still have to work

All the snow days this year prompted that change I'm sure. You should see my DVr though, jam packed with scheduled Olympic hockey recordings

You had a power outage.

Sweden is so good that even their goaltender gets in on the scoring on the PP.

And former Flyer prospect Jakub Kovar is in from the Czechs. That's a far cry from the days of Hasek and Cechmanek.

I don't think it's really that suprising that Quick get's the nod. Who is everyone picking to win Gold? I'm going with Canada. Although I hope USA wins it.

Is Pavelec injured?

Sweden are looking quite strong, Voracek hasn't stood out, and Jagr still does his tricks. Good game.

Karlsson and OEL look great together. I didn't realize how good OEL is on defense now. He's the real deal.

He'd be the first D I'd pick if I could start a team from scratch today.

Oh indeed. He is looking like a stud in this game so far at least. Me and some buddies were just talking about how we underrated the swedish roster. Lots of star players there.

Back to OEL - what do you think it would take to pry him away?

Taking into consideration age and all, he's a great pick. Pietrangelo would be right up there also.

It would take Giroux in my opinion. And even then it might not happen. Flyers don't have the players to convince Phoenix to trade OEL in my opinion.

Over Pietrangelo, Weber, Suter, Seth Jones and Lukas Krajicek?

If not Giroux, then Couturier. And it wouldn't be a one for one trade, not even close.

Not many teams do. It would have to be a gross overpayment for them to even consider moving him.

- BulliesPhan87

Right, but if I'm looking at it from Phoenix's perspective. Even if Couturier is included, I don't think I would do it. It would have to be a ridiculous package to trade OEL.

- BulliesPhan87

It would honestly take Couturier, Simmonds, Laughton, Morin, 1st round pick.

When you take into consideration age, skill, affordability, he may the most sought after defenseman in hockey.
