Olympic Hockey Day 6 Preview and Open Thread: All Killer, No Filler

PrintAfter Latvia shocked the world last night by killing off seven of eight Russian power plays, the Olympic tournament continues on with three games, the last of which is by far the most interesting.
Group B Game 6: Russia (1-0-1-0) vs. Czech Republic (2-0-0-0) - 3 PM - NBC: Broken and beaten from their respective games against Latvia, it will be interesting to see how many players disintegrate upon contact during this one. The Russians have a lot more to prove, but both are playing for the first round bye, which is totally up for grabs here. And in something no one expected, the Russians still could theoretically leave this tournament with their only win being over Latvia.
Group A Game 6: Canada (1-1-0-0) vs. United States(2-0-0-0) - 7:30 PM - MSNBC: The Canadian struggles with Switzerland look even worse in light of how close Switzerland came to losing to Norway. The US hasn't really been tested yet, which shouldn't necessarily matter much. Miller has looked better than Brodeur in this tournament, but the Canadian depth is obscene. This one could get ugly if the US doesn't show up on offense.
Group C Game 6: Sweden (2-0-0-0) vs. Germany (2-0-0-0) - 11:55 PM - CNBC: Off his two-goal outburst vs. Germany, it's likely that Kimmo Timonen will score five or so against his country's arch rivals, the Swedes. Great goaltending and goal scorers on both sides should make this one epic. I'll take Finland to win it, since they're my pick to win this whole thing (assuming they can avoid Latvia in the knockout stages).
Apologies for the lateness...do it to it in the comments.

I don’t necessarily like him, but I do have some respect for him because he doesn’t really whine or complain like certain other top players are known to do.
Yeah, I don’t hate him like Crosby or anything. But I’ve dropped from ‘like’ to ‘dislike.’

Move the Chairs out of the way!
JR and Milbury could move the chairs out of the way and go at it in the living room there and Michaels can referee.
I see it as Chase Utley vs. Ryan Howard. Chase Utley is an all-around elite player. There are no weaknesses in his game, but at the same time there’s not really one area where he necessarily dominates the rest of the league. Howard, on the other hand, is also an all-around elite player, but in many areas not quite to the same area Utley is (defense, for example). However, when it comes to power, Howard not only is above Utley, but is the best or second best in the entire MLB. Both Crosby and Ovechkin have their advantages and disadvantages, and you can’t go wrong choosing either over the other.
…Luckily, we have both Utley and Howard.
USA?

Watching 1980, I can always watch about that team. I was in Mechanicsburg PA playing a PeeWee game when we watched the end of the game in the snack bar.
He leaves his feet, leads with an elbow and also slips poison into Jagr’s mouth on his way down.
Standard Ovechkin hit. What the hell was Jagr thinking?

I understand (don’t agree, but understand) the reasoning of why it’s not on NBC. It’s primetime, when they’d want to interrupt or switch during the intermission, then they wouldn’t come back in time or whatever, and they want to put it on a channel where it can be alone. But at least put it on USA so we can watch in HD… MSNBC has an HD feed, too, but we don’t get it in Philadelphia because there’s “not enough bandwidth.”
Mhm, I understand it too. And we’d all be furious if they cut away from live action to show ice dancing or something. But still, it’s annoying. Is that really Comcast’s (sorry, Xfinity) argument?

He is not capable of keeping up with that pace. He is on the down side and should not have been on this team. Ours neither
Yup. Pronger has been absolutely terrible for the Flyers.
From Geoff’s article on Goals For/Against per 60 Minutes:
Chris Pronger is 13th in the NHL in [GAON/60], but when you look at Gabe’s Qualcomp stat, this number becomes even more impressive. Of the 12 players with a lower GAON/60, only two are facing above average competition (0.000). Further, Pronger’s 0.120 nearly doubles the second highest qualcomp in the 12 players ahead of him: 0.066. If that doesn’t compute, Pronger is facing the 14th toughest competition among all NHL defensemen with 20 games played, and he’s allowing the 13th fewest goals against. Quite the impressive feat.
Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?
I couldn’t give a wet fart about all these GVT’s and Abe Vugoda ratings. When facing faster teams and players the guy seems a step behind. I guess numbers are an illusion. We are a bad three game set away from being out of the playoffs as much as we are in. He should not have been in the Olympics over Mike Green.
Uh...
Not to go all Mario on you, but:
When facing faster teams and players [Pronger] seems a step behind. I guess numbers are an illusion.
So… it appears as if Pronger is a step behind some of the fastest players in the league. Therefore, you suppose the fact that so few even-strength goals are scored against the Flyers while Pronger is on the ice is somehow deceptive? Since advanced hockey stats/metrics mean nothing to you, Pronger’s solid defensive performance means nothing to you… because he’s not fast? Come on now.
We are a bad three game set away from being out of the playoffs as much as we are in.
True, but the same could be said for roughly half of the Eastern Conference. Our borderline playoff/non-playoff situation is not Chris Pronger’s fault.
He should not have been in the Olympics over Mike Green.
Probably not, but you want to have some experience back there.
Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?
He is still chasing Evander Kane up Broad Street, but he is not the whole problem and I do appreciate defensive performances. I just don’t think he is in his prime anymore. Actually experience isn’t all it is cracked up to be, USA roster proving that. I don’t want to be all Geoff Detweiler back to your MarioD just to be argumentative, but bringing in another aging better days behind him defensemen is the bad business model I have problems with in the management of this organization.
Well that was fun.
I felt a twinge of sadness for Pronger’s bad game, but gleefully remembered that Crosby had a bad game too (aside from that lucky PP goal).
I like U S and A, do you like U S and A?

If Finland wins in regulation, they are #1.
If Sweden wins in regulation by 4 goals or less, USA is #1.
If Sweden wins in regulation by 6 goals or more, Sweden is #1.
If Sweden wins in regulation by 5 goals, it will depend on the number of goals they score. If win 5-0, 6-1, 7-2, USA is #1. If they win 8-3, 9-4, 10-5, or any other score higher score where the goal differential is 5, Sweden is #1.
If the game goes to OT, USA is #1.
