The announcer explained that the puck has to be completely past the line before the clock hits 0.0 to be counted as a goal, and it was barely even touching the line as it hit 0.0
And the camera isn't directly over the crossbar anyway, so it wasn't even that close when it hit 0.0.
USA Scored and then Switzerland appeared to have scored, and then USA scored but it was wiped away due to a penalty.
Yeah, 1-0. Then it looked like the Swiss scored but the refs said the shot hit the post (correct call). Then the USA scored but they call a penalty on us so it's no goal. So it's still 1-0.
Good, dominating win by USA. Game wasn't as close as the score indicated. or maybe it was thanks to that empty netter.
Very entertaining new episode from Bill Simmon's BS Report podcast. He interviews Seth Myers (SNL) who went to Vancouver to watch in person, and then he talks to some other dude about their fascination with curling (glad I'm not the only one). BS Report
Apologies if this has already been posted, but have you guys seen this?? http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/va...mind-and-website-he-s-the-plat?urn=oly,221408 Haha, god. What a sore loser.
Yeah, I saw that. When they introduced him for the medal ceremony, he hopped up on the gold medal platform before moving to the third. At first I thought he was just joking but now I just think he's a dick. Yes, he landed a quad but he messed up a lot in that routine and was shaky on a lot of his landings. Plushenko had the harder routine, but Lysacek skated better. Top to bottom, Lysacek deserved the Gold more.
