my future in laws are all hispanic, only my fiance and her parents have seen hockey, and her parents have only watched me play in an adult league. i was downstairs in their house by myself watching this game going absolutely nuts everytime USA scored. Apparently they thought all the kids were downstairs by the sheer volume i was projecting, and my fiance was telling it was me. They all came downstairs to watch the final period with me asking me questions about the game, and eventually going nuts over the win.

seriously for a family that only watches FUTBOL this was pretty fun for them and now want to watch the rest of the tournament with me

As a Blues fan who hasn’t seen many meaningful games since the lockout, I’m gonna say that this USA/Canada game last night was one of the best hockey games of the decade.

The parts I caught were solid. I too am not an Olympic fan while pro’s play. I could care less about the jerseys. Wear jerseys covered with cocks shooting jizz on the shoulders. I just don’t care.

Did anyone catch Undercover Boss? Not as good as the first week but still good right? Huh? Undercover Boss? You know where the CEO goes undercover as a front line worker and learns a very heartwarming lesson? Life lesson? Huh? Right? Exactly.

Bode Miller eats dog dick

All I want for my Blues hockey team is Ryan Miller.

That is all

as the visual representation of hockey to most everyone i know (during 8 months of the year my wardrobe is pretty much hockey jerseys. i got “dress” jersey, casual jerey. mild weather jerseys, cold weather jersey’s et al) i know what it is like to be a magnet for the casual fans. i can judge how well the blues marketing is working by the causal’s asking me stuff :0

i am somewhat shocked at the skill levels of the “international” game this season on the nhl ice. I always enjoed watching the players play on the larger ice (which is really a different game and in the past meant better skaters needed everywhere and why team usa would “hatcher up” and be confused at their 8th place finish) but really, the 4 games i’ve seen this olyumpics have been incredible on the nhl size ice. so guess what? i’d still like maybe a bigger ice surface, but really it ain’t the ice surface or the net size or anything like that which had in the past, and occasionally today, muddles up low end nhl games. skating works. hell even johnson during his miracle on ice remebrances (or was it someone else?) claimed that team usa was conditioned and was able to skate with anyteam anywhere and being about to skate for 60 minutes with anyone meant you were always in every game you played.

i miss fighting! not a fan of it as much as most, but when team usa was being outworked/skated during several points i really wanted backes to get ont he ice and beat the loonie out of some johnny canuck. he CAN’T. soooo a) i miss fighting and b) fighting isnt a needed part of the game, now is it? wanted part— not needed. it CAN be removed.

liked miller’s helmet.

It was just a really, really fun game to watch. That being said… HA.

America. Fornication Affirmative.

B.

That I enjoyed the pissy look on Brodeurs face more than the fact that USA won.

But the parts of the game that I was able to sneak a peek at were terrific.

Oh, and Rick nASH, you’re still a douchebag. Get over it.

A boxscore that goes past the goal scorers and shot stoppers and gives me TOI, individual SOGs, and +/- listings? For the life of me, I can’t find a decent one. And if there are boxscores available for every game so far, even better!

and this is the first win over Canada in all them years. Fuck yeah!! That’s how epic that was. Punked them in their own house. The win sort of eases the pain from the loss in 2002 in Utah.

1. Team America embarrassing Canadia thoroughly.
2. Exciting, entertaining hockey, no matter who was playing.
3. I actually got to watch it! On a real TV! China has an intense fascination with curling, so 9 times out of 10 that I turn on my TV to watch the olympics, that is what’s on. But yesterday, even as I thought I would be stuck watching bobsledding, I changed the channel during a commercial and there they were, 2 minutes into the first period. I got to watch the whole thing. I can’t explain how happy it made my poor hockey-starved heart! Watching Eeej bowl over his teammates after the empty net goal made my week. Hopefully as these games get more important, China will find time between replays of curling and the one speedskating event that I’ve seen 4 times in the past 24 hours to show me a little more hockey (since NBC.com refuses acknowledge my American right to online replays just because I’m not actually in America. sheesh.)
