PrintHello there, friends. I'm back today from a weekend spent moonlighting as a flower delivery boy — seriously. It's good to be back. Is real hockey back yet?
Just like in the summer, the links will be on the lean side. If you boss notices an uptick in productivity, well I'm sorry.

The rant
at Second City and Gallagher’s rant sound very similar. Very very similar.
Naming a few of the olympians as ‘former Rivermen players’ is a stretch. I agree it maybe have been
a stretch for even TB
Will there be a USA hockey thread or will I be talking to myself again?

Arvid Rekis is the only one I couldn't think of right offhand...
I even remembered EJ’s one-game conditioning stint down there.

I was curious as well
Do we do any sort of GDT for when the US or Chezch Republic plays?

Curling
I’m watching US vs GER on tv.
And as a sportsaholic I’m watching CAN vs NOR live online. I just can’t take my eyes off the Norwegian’s pants.
They are the most hideous I’ve ever seen.

I find it stressful
Almost like it’s me out there sweeping.
US dropped their first one and have to ‘play’ again tonight
CAN is in overtime

Thank God.
I was afraid I was the only one watching this. Now I don’t feel so bad. I’m flipping between curling and Phineas and Ferb. On a slightly related note, anyone notice how dirty curling commentating sounds?

Someone may have mentioned this previously
but until I saw some type of highlights last night, I didn’t realize there was a Wickenheiser on the Team Canada women’s hockey club. Hayley Wickenheiser, the cousin of the late Doug. This would be about the only reason I’d root for Team Canada at anything, I guess. But there you have it.

She was also a member of the Canadian olympic softball team if I remember correctly.

Damn good memory.
I remember seeing a Wickenheiser in the opening ceremonies and wondering if there was a link between her and Doug.
So, US game in 15 minutes and no thread yet?
I may not be able to join anyway – but if I’m still stuck without my car I’ll stick around for the awesomeness!
I know it's time for hockey because I've started singing "Don't Stop Believing" with the words "...born and raised in FUCK DETRIOT!!!"
There may only be four or five of us
But I imagine it will be a good GDT none the less. As said though, anyone putting one up here or…?

It'll be interesting to
see how they gel.
Especially the teams with lots of NHL players.
Teams like the swiss that play together all the time may do better at the beginning

We have a thread at SCH
And unlike the SBN thread, you can say fuck when Whitney does something stupid!
Chicagoan in the Lou.
Should I make an "unofficial" thread in the fanposts or something
or is this good?

Kane = Pussy
but we can pretend we mean it in the British term for a couple weeks.

smaller rink
gives the US and CAN a bit of advantage over lesser teams. Maybe even Russia since not all their players are used to little rinks
I do love watching on the big ice sometimes though

Backes is bleeding
