PrintUSA vs. Canada in one fan-fucking-tastic group matchup this evening. If these teams clash again in the medal round, I might blow a gasket from all the excitement.
Blues News:
- Nothing new in the world of the Blues, besides the boys in Vancouver. I did learn one thing while glancing at Hockey-Reference. The page of David Backes does not have a sponsor. Nor does Bobby Plager.
Olympic News:
- 6:40 on MSNBC. USA/Canada. Be there.
- Brian Burke wants to sleep in more. He hates playing at noon.
- New lines according to Rutherford.
- McKenzie over at TSN says facing the Americans will improve the psyche of the Canadians. Who the hell ever improved their psyche after playing David Backes, particularly in the last couple of months?
- Ovi has him some shiny new skates. Mr. Dangles is jealous.
- Teemu Selanne is the new all-time point leader in Olympic play.
Other Stuff:
- That's a pretty easy question.
- Link's lost some touch on the boomerang.
- If men wrote women's magazines.
Video:
In order to get the patriotic juices flowing for tonight's game, there are a couple songs you just have to know
And in case you missed the Epic Beard Man reference from Gallagher yesterday, he's passed this along.
Stay tuned for Prospect Sundays and a great game to close out the weekend.
Averagejoe will be here to link you through the aftermath of the main event. And the rest of the week.

improving the Canadian psyche?
it’s going to be more like Sherlock Holmes:

I looked at that magazine article...
… one of the links at the bottom was on what’s the average age worldwide that kids lose their virginity. I wanted to make myself feel worse about my students, so I went there, and da-mn… thank GOD I don’t teach in Iceland. I know it’s cold and boring there, but good God.
Reporter: There`s a "stamp out the Beatles movement" underway in Detroit. What are you going to do about it?
Paul McCartney: We`re going to start a campaign to stamp out Detroit.
it looks like
most nordic countries. I guess you gotta stay warm somehow during all those winter dark months.
Would it be wrong to say thank God I have boys? That was my first thought and very sexist if I do say so myself.

Are we going to have an
Olympic Sunday thread???? US vs CAN curling on and another rival hockey game on in a few hours.
Of course I may be the only one sitting here feeling awful from the continuously mutating strains of cold virus.
I swear it’s going on a month. Just about the time I think it’s going away I feel like I was Cam SMASHED.

A reminder
Russia vs Roman Polaks – 2pm Central
Captain America vs Captain Canuck – 6:30pm Central
Fins vs Swedes – 11pm Central
Name me 3 hockey countries that hate each other more than the 3 they are playing.
He raged at the world, at his family, at his life. But mostly he just raged.
US/Russia? Canada/Russia?
Never thought US and Canada flat hated each other, and both have had huge meetings with Russians that both countries consider crowning sports achievements in the past.
Breaking News: I'm currently in the process of writing "I will not say and/or type "that word" 1,000 times.
As far as hockey rivalries go
I definatly think the Czechs dislike the Russians more than either the US or Canada could. Not so much hate but Canadians have a massive inferiority complex when it comes to the U.S. and if we were to beat them at their own game they would go nuts.

“[Tore] Vikingstad was a sixth-round draft pick of the St. Louis Blues in 1999 and currently plays for the Hannover Scorpions of the German league.”

this was what I was wondering last night before heading to bed.

We could have had a guy named Tore Vikingstad? Talk about missed opportunities.

God, do I love Ray Charles' America, The Beautiful...
My two cents: I’d be the first one to sign the petition if given the choice of making THAT song (and, particularly, his version) our new national anthem.
It’s just so damn gorgeous…
I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.

WTF?
Just a chew toy for the hockey gods
holy shit
NBC here has been delayed coverage here on west coast. That means this game won’t start until 2 hours later than you guys if they follow what they’ve been doing.
CNBC and MSNBC has been live, that same as you guys, no delay
Just a chew toy for the hockey gods

FUCK YOU NBC

Is it any wonder that NBC is dying?
If they can’t comprehend that 90% of the value of a sporting event is that they occur LIVE. At this point Comcast is probably praying the feds kill that deal.

Reason 4053 why NBC is failing....
Even though we have numerous broadcast towers across the country sending out our programing for free, if you want to watch it online you need to jump though a bunch of absurd hoops.

Good experience for what it's worth
But his play has pretty much led to two goals.
Not afraid to nitpick
Now I got biathlon on NBC
the listing shows Russia hockey now and THEN biathlon
this means IF NBC does finally show the Russia game delayed on the west coast it will overlap the USA game that is live.
