2014 Winter Olympics: Sochi, Russia

[Lucky]

Great first game for Team USA. I'm pretty sure @Lucky was glad Carlson had the first goal of the game.

Yeah I posted on that in another thread. Can't wait to watch him and the US against his Caps teammate Ovechkin and Russia Saturday morning.

I'm looking forward to rooting against Kovalchuk. I'm still bitter about what happened last summer and how the Devils have suffered because of it.

It was sad to see Evgeni Plushenko withdraw from the men's figure skating competition yesterday. He was truly one of the best figure skaters ever, but his sports injuries over the years finally caught up with him. However, at least he was able to win the gold medal in the new, "team" event a few days ago.

The field is wide open now, and it will be interesting to see who will be the next skating star, since Evgeni 's career is over.

That was sad. It took real courage to skate knowing that one bad fall could paralyze him due to the spinal rod operation.

Canada wearing Black uniforms just doesn't look right !! In fact they look horrible.

What a hockey game. Oshie was amazing in the shootout. Too bad the game doesn't count for much. Do they use shootouts in the next round or is it like NHL playoff games?

Looks like I got my wish. A shootout win for the USA!

That was insane! Thanks Oshie!

I'm pretty sure every shot of him during the Olympics looks like this....

What a hockey game. Got nervous there when Russia got that third goal but it ended up being overturned. What a win

He is just still sad that the Hunger Games cannot be an actual Olympic event. Why do you think every country was led out by an Effie Trinket clone during the opening ceremony?

A Russian politician is now saying the US won by cheating.

Jaromir Jagr (42) must be the oldest Olympian this time around. He won two Stanley Cups during the George H.W. Bush administration, before a lot of other Olympians were even born.

It was a great game this morning, I was so nervous watching it! Actually we are re-watching the shootout on NBC primetime coverage and even though I know the outcome it is still making my heart race a little.

to be fair i thought russia were the better team but the usa won fair and square

This guy is the oldest -

Prince Hubertus von Hohenlohe 54 year-old descendant of German royalty, slalom skier, pop musician, photographer, documentary-making six-time Winter Olympian and Mexico's only competing athlete in Sochi has been dubbed "the Olympics' most interesting man".
