Latvia makes me want for them now
How about Jagr injures Brown, but the US still wins? Good compromise?Wouldn't even be mad if the Czechs beat us. Happy Hertl makes me happy :-DDD
I wouldn't be. I don't think the Czechs have looked that good.
Same here, but it won't happen.

Hate playing Finland. They frustrate the fuck out of us. Although Bill does have this team playing a lot more patient. Boring, but patient.

Not worried about Latvia at the moment, but I hope Canada doesn't take them lightly either. If they focus too much on the States, they just might let Latvia get by them.
Thank god the smellys are out. Fucking hell is it ever boring as shit watching them play. It's like watching the Sabres during the Hasek years or the Devils all the time.
America should breeze to an easy win unless the Czechs pull off an upset with a hot goalie and Kessel too bus eating cookies.

I read Mirtle's piece on what's going in with the Czech team. Apparently, the hc is some millionaire hockey booster who lets the veteran players decide what to do? Weeeeird stuff.
Unless Russia is on the powerplay I wouldn't expect much from Ovechkin the rest of the tourny. Whatever they've been doing with him hasn't been working.

Right click, save as.
I do love the Sedins! So tragic having Henrik injured like this.
They've just never been the same since Duncan Keith violently assaulted them.

That was probably the biggest hardship in all three of your lives.
Hey, if he scores a golden goal again (and here's hoping), who cares how he plays the rest of the tournament.
He was pretty bad in 2010 until that last play.
EDIT - Honestly, except for Alex Bilodeau, and Joanie Rochette, that single goal made him the most important Canadian in the olympics.
EDIT 2 - Kind of feel bad for players like Toews who got under shadowed a bit due to the golden goal moment.

Varlamov starts. Russia content to rotate goalies?
I still love the Olympics for, if nothing else at all, inflicting Gary Lawless on the rest of Canada and sparing us the full weight of his terrible opinions for the past few weeks. It's been like a mini-vacation for everyone in Manitoba who likes sports media but isn't a drooling moron.

Slovenia holding their own so far.

Wow, Sweden got away with someone playing the puck while he was still on the bench.
This is not unheard of...

2-0 Sweden, that's probably going to be it for this one.

Slovenia has fought well and done better than I ever imagined, including holding up really well against Sweden for much of this game. But now it's done, this is starting to look more like what the score should be in a game like this.

Finland or Russia up next for Sweden, and I think we can take either of them. We definitely have a better team than Finland, and Russia hasn't impressed particularly. So Sweden vs Canada/USA in the final, that's my bet.
