I haven't gone anywhere. Try to pay better attention.

I keep nodding off...

And I see that your guys are waking up just in time to be a thorn in our side in two weeks.

Finland Vs Sweden starts now! I love the Olympics!

On this side of the St. Croix we refer to this as "the point" since it's the only one he got against UW in his college career.:)
 
Re: US Olympic Hockey - Let's Stick It To The Canucks Again!

1 US vs winner of 8 Switzerland 9 Belarus
2 Sweden vs winner of 7 Slovakia 10 Norway
3 Russia vs winner of 6 Canada 11 Germany
4 Finland vs winner of 5 Czech Republic 12 Latvia

What a route to the finals, can't play Russia Sweden or Canada until the gold medal game.

Completely random, and I'm sure a lot of you already knew this, but John Harrington is the coach for Slovenia...huh? lol

Mcfar, are you sure that they don't re-seed after each round, similar to the college conference tournaments?

Don't think so. NBC already had it that Canada has to win the "play-in" game, then Russia. I like your idea in case of upsets.

Still, don't consider the road easy. I'm sure the Swiss (I am assuming higher seeds to advance) will be formidable, and the Finn/Czech winner won't be a walk. Then Sweden/Russia/Canada for Gold.

I'd like to see the team at least medal, and no modern Gold medal winner has been undefeated. Tall task.

My final score form the US/Canada game. Wisconsin 3, North America 4. UW almost pulled it off. :)

Wow. The Canadians will play the Commies in the next round after they slaughter Deutchland? I can't imagine what will happen to Canada if they lose that one. The whole country will implode. Hopefully the UW recruits will get out of the country before than happens.

I'm not looking past the Finns or the Czechs, though. Or the Swiss, for that matter.

The U.S. can't afford to look past Belarus. I hope they recognize the opportunity in front of them and give it everything they have.

Amazing that either Russia or Canada will not be playing for a medal.

Funny how the times have changed as Russia doesn't bother me, but I'd love for Canada to lose to Germany.

*We better send the Special Operations Units to extricate them NOW. Or just send some Girl Scouts with sling shots...that should be enough firepower. :D

*Nice win! How much time did UW's Rafalski & Suter log? Holy ****, it seemed like they were out there for 50 minutes. Bobby Ryan? This guy is a stud; too bad he never played NCAA. He would be even better! ;)

*One of the most enjoyable parts of the broadcast? We didn't have to listen to Pierre McQuire's drivel. I saw him between the benches...he must have been with CBC where he should stay. Could you imagine hearing him doing a USA-Canada game on US TV? Oy vey.
