Swiss Cheese vs. Team America GDT

A nation so peaceful and neutral, they expect to win at hockey today?

The U.S. Olympic hockey team has enjoyed a couple days off since vanquishing Canada on home soil. They made the ground maple leaf red. And then they watched and waited for their next opponent, the traditionally neutral Switzerland.

Let's be honest here, folks. Jonas HIller is the Swiss national team. Their goaltender has stolen games for them, like their shootout win Tuesday that put them in the game against the U.S. today. The guys in red, white and blue need to get in Hiller's kitchen, make him feel the pressure and not let up. They do that and they can make plans for the semifinals on Friday.

Here in the Central Division, we don't see Ryan Miller that much. And that's probably a good thing. Dude is rock solid. He's calm under pressure, he doesn't over commit as the angle changes and he's got a quick glove. Plus he doesn't make horrible decisions with playing the puck like Martin "I'll Be Here On The End Of The Bench If You Need Me" Brodeur and he doesn't look like a greaser from West Side Story like Roberto "Bobby Lou" Luongo.

Watch the ice time for defenseman Erik Johnson. He's playing at the end of periods and during tense situations. Ron Wilson's confidence with him has grown just over the short course of the tournament. And let's hope David Backes is ready to rip some Swiss Miss' head off.

This game starts a hectic day of hockey with the big matchup everyone will be watching: Russia vs. Canada. We'll have a separate thread up for that sucker.

So hang here for a couple hours. The game is at 2 p.m. CST, live on NBC. Unless you live on the West Coast. Then you'll watch it on tape delay. The same time as the Canada/Russia game on CNBC. I don't understand it either.

Team America, Fuck Yeah! This is your game day thread. It bleeds red, white and blue, do you?

Ugh, stupid 3:00 start time.

My kids’ll be taking a test, so I guess I can watch it on mute here, but we’ve also got county “guests” in the building, so if one sees where my attention is, then I have an odd feeling that’ll go in the report.

Of course, the whole thing’s a joke – some middle school assistant principal was in my room this AM for a discussion of memory and damaged hippocampi accompanied by a video. I’m sure he had no clue what my students were discussing, but I did enjoy that he made a point to Elmer Fudd tiptoe across the front of the room to ask a student ALL THE WAY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF MY CLASS what the “essential question” was, and if they understood what they were learning.

He left, and one of my girls said “Looks like someone needs to learn what ‘unobtrusive’ means.” God, I love my seniors.

On the other hand...

I can’t say I approve of the way Wilson is handling shifts. Looks like the top two lines are getting more shifts than usual. Backes’ line only had like 5 shifts, and the third line didn’t have many more than that.

by PersonalJustice on Feb 24, 2010 2:50 PM CST up reply actions  

I do agree with this

US’s strength is that they basically have 4 lines of equal talent. They can throw any line at any time.

Maybe we’ll see more of the Backes and 3rd line this period.

Had a separated shoulder in high school during football practice.

Coach popped it back in by leaning me against the field goal post and pushed me. That only hurt a little bit.

Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky was in a production of The King and I? Well anyway, before the show, Brasky chloroforms the entire cast, and slowly eats them in front of the audience for two hours. The production got pretty good reviews.

Ha... it's always fun

when your boss catches you watching the game (to which I had been watching the past couple of hours and not working)… and you think you are caught… and he gets pissed…

Because you didn’t tell him it was on. Then he proceeds to watch the last 15 minutes with you. Along with your other 4 bosses who walk by your office and wonder what you are doing.

HA

Niiiiiice.

My boss walked right past last night as I was watching CAN-GER, and didn’t say a word – because it was after 5pm. Couldn’t get away with that during Regular Business Hours, though.

Yeah

I was suppose to be encoding some footage. They saw the video on my other screen and figured I was.

It has been paused for the past 3 hours or so. Apparently they must have thought that it doesn’t encode real time or whatever, because the same frame of video has been up the entire time.
