Posted by Pensblog Staff on .


Ovechkin knocked Jagr back into 1994.
Malkin kicks it up a notch.

look at the Caption. That is not photoshopped.
(smk)
If you are looking for the hit online, good luck. The IOC has blocked every trace of it.

UPDATE:

SUCK IT IOC AND NBC.

Thanks to everyone for sending that along.


After a long weekend, this game was past our bedtime.

King Henrik with a huge shutout.


And then...


The game that was gonna grab some non-hockey fans and glue them to the TV.

Whether you bleed stars and stripes or call the U.S. "The States,"
this game was good for hockey.

Chris Drury was out of his mind. Ryan Miller went to another level.

The atmosphere came off as incredible.
The game went back and forth.
Just amazing.

Orpik destroyed Crosby.

At one point Canada destroyed themselves.

The U.S. moves on to play the winner of Switzerland-Belarus.
Canada has to beat Germany for the right to play Russia.

Still kind of speechless from this game.
Brian Rafalski scoring 2 goals?

Before the Sweden-Finland points were tallied, here's the leader:

Also, we are in the final stages of getting the playoff version complete. And don't worry, for those sick of us talking about Rinkotology, it is going to get is own blog and comment sections.

Until then, we still need help. If you have any feedback/ideas please email us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .

Had to post this.
This is worth more than a few laughs. From our boy Benson:

Incredible hahhaa, the ending maybe the funniest thing we've ever seen.

RECAP -- DAY 3: Sid

Goosebumps when that puck hit the twine.
 
But the backstory is what is so great.  Sid, Toews, and Getzlaf no dice.
Freed from the shackles of NHL shootout rules, coach Mike Babcock of Red Wings fame wanted Sid.
Again.
 
Clicking that link is a great way to spend some time this Friday morning.
 
Now all that's missing is the handshake line after Canada beats Sweden.

Only thing to look at coming out of the USA game
is them padding a potential goal-differential tiebreaker if it comes to that.

The first "upset" of the Tournament.
AO couldn't get the job done.
Geno no dice with the game on the line.

RECAP -- DAY 2: DOUBLE J

Posted by Pensblog Staff on .


We have been excited for these Games for years.
And as much as we wanted to see Malkin, Crosby, and whoever play, there was one man we wanted to see.

 

And man oh man, did ol' Double J put on a show.


After a slow first period, Jagr turned it on in the second period.
And for no reason at all, as Jagr stripped Marian Hossa of the puck and went on a breakaway, we stood up in our living room at 1:30 in the morning.
Best part is we know we weren't alone.  Goal.

But Double J wasn't done.
He set up a goal with seconds left in the second period
In the third, he was flying around like he was 24.  Unreal.


As for the game itself, it was the best of the young tournament.
Tomas Vokoun was spectacular, and the Czechs were flying.
Slovakia wasn't bad, either, but they just couldn't solve Vokoun.


After the jump, a quick look at the other games from day 2, and breakdown of some Rinkotology stats
