US Men’s Hockey finished (no pun intended) off a “Cuse and Clemson” performance… lose a tight one to Canada, then get hammered by Finland.
FYI, Jamie Benn, game winning goal scorer for Canada is from little old Victoria. This place is going nuts for him and the team.
I cannot stand the opening and closing ceremonies narrated by the NBC crew as if the audience was made up of 5 year olds. It’s utterly ridiculous, and they do it every time. I far prefer the CBC broadcast, they know when to be quiet. When one of the athletes from a smaller contingent entered, Lauer interjected something to the effect of “Let’s just get this out of the way now, there’s no way he will get any kind of a medal at these games. ” Pathetic. STFU Matt.
But they seem to get their shooters open, and not just open but spot up open. That’s where having at least two viable options from 3 is huge. Poor Woo had to run his fanny off, and never really perfected the pump fake. Turner shoot a bunch of hurried, off-balance shots last night. Cuz takes some of the pressure off, but the team needs more.
I’ll spin it like this: State provided the blueprint, BC followed it and pulled off the upset. Of course I didn’t see the game but that’s what I’m going with.
BC had 19 fouls, Cuse 12. BC shot 43%, 50% and 90%, Cuse, 32%, 17% and 71%.
Then there’s the Anthony/WBS conundrum. Anthony has better D but takes ill-advised drives into the teeth of a shot-blocking team. WBS gets abused on D but I think the O runs better with him.
OK, I’ll try… Kate Upton in Zero Gravity.
