gonna be some close games today... cant wait for tomorrow

1-1 1st intermission.

A penalty shot was taken in the 1st when the Norwegian defender blocked a shot in the crease and covered the puck with his hand. Although the shot wasn't a goal, it's only the 9th time in Olympic history that a penalty shot has been taken. Switzerland scored just seconds later off the face-off.

Thw Swiss took a 4-3 lead on a PP goal with about 10 mins left

And Norway just tied it again! 4-4. A hat-trick by Tore Vikingstad. Norway's first line has been dynamite today.

Not a great game by Hiller at all. Big letdown from the Canada game

[Sojourn]

Inconsistency has always been something Hiller has had to fight. It happens. Though, that last play by Hiller that lead to the goal was really bad. If that ends up costing the Swiss the game that would be a heartbreaker.

Just turned to the game. How did they give up 4 goals to Norway? Wtf is up with Hiller today?

[Still MIGHTY]

OVERTIME

[giannim]

Also, how has Sbisa been so far?

It just wasn't a particularly good game from him.

Switzerland scored. Game over.

Swiss win in OT, 5-4

[lvsprt]

5-4 in OT, Swiss wins. BTW the Yahoo Sports front page for hockey has Bobby and Cindy pics for the game tomorrow. 1 and 2 in the draft.

[giannim]

Hmm... well he might have just been tired from the Canada game and the two games in three days against very tough opponents. I really hope nothing is wrong with his neck after getting run into in the Canada game. He was saying it was sore in his blog yesterday.

[Dark Knight]

Just finished watching the Switzerland game. Yeah Hiller not too good but after that Canadian game, I guess to be expected. I thought Sbisa had his best game yet. Blocekd shots, made some good decisions with the puck strong along the boards.
