Watched a little of the women's hockey - can't get over the lost opportunities for some violent body-checking.

Well I can breath again...

Not that I expected a loss to the German squad, but we finally started looking like a team tonight.

Hopefully this will carry through to the Russia game tomorrow night. Our history (or record if you will

) isn't the best against them.

That Canada/USA game was one of the best hockey games I've seen in a long long time, lightning fast up and down action with no goonery and fights...just excellent play.

Seems the Canadians often run into a hot goalie at the Olympics.

I enjoyed the game against Germany tonight and it looks like Canada is hitting it's stride team wise but really looking forward to the match up with the Russians. Got a couple buds coming over for ribs and hockey.

Jlsem, you is a bad person for suggesting that kind of play, my son wants the wimmin to play naked. I can't imagine how distressing that might be to a person of my delicate sensibilities.

The russkis are gunna be a tough team and they need to win, just like the Canadians. I can't wait, this is going to be too much fun and nailbiting play (i hope)
I just don't want to watch a one sided game like Sweden and USA in the Wimmins game. That was zero fun and super dull.

Well now that the round robin is over every team ''needs'' to win...

I didn't realize how dominant a record the Russians have over our guys. Quite frankly, if we don't pull out all the stops, I doubt it will break from the norm. Russia's first line is disgustingly good...

While I never have a problem watching any team of ours destroy another country's. I do have admit my frustration with the lack of ladies competition.

I tend to agree there, but the English side of me tends to feel a bit sorry for the loser when the loss is so humiliating.
It is a bit like our Footy finals, the best day of my life was when the Hawks destroyed the Cats.

I hope I'm not jinxing the guys, but I'm lovin how the game's going....

1st intermission:
Canada 4
Russia 1

I expect line changes for the Russians

Heja Sverige!

Have you guys noticed how good the sound is from the rink? With the volume up it's like being there!

That's San Jose's goalie Nabby who just let in the 5th goal. What is he thinking? And a sixth as I'm typing!

5-1 now... Canada is going to have to fall flat on their face to lose this one...

A good US-Swiss game... Swiss gave the Yanks a good scare

ahhhh, 6-1 now as i finish typing.
