The Sicatoka

If Bubs is dealing with a family issue that comes first. Always. Give him time and space. (Part of me wonders if this, whatever it is, has been going on longer than we know, and we shouldn't know, and if it's been weighting on Bubs. Never forget: a team feels what the coach feels even if the team doesn't know what the coach knows.) Part of Bub's job is mentoring successors. He seems to be doing well there based on what we see from Dane and Karl so far. Bubs, he'll be back when it's time to be back.

Third underway, still 1-1 SWE-FIN. Shots are 20-11 FIN through two.

Pretty sure The Ocho comes with WatchESPN.com (free) with ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN News. At least The Ocho shows the entirety of an event. I missed none of the scheduled Corgi races that I stayed up to watch.

SWE 1-1 FIN after two. Probably the best period of the tournament so far coming up ... but not visible in the US unless you bow to the god ESPN+. And yeah, I am that bitter*. *I already pay for ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN News. That's enough.

LAT 5-2 AUT final in relegation game one. SWE 1-1 FIN mid second per the game center site (because NHL-N is run by fools).

"Winged" helmets are nothing special. It's a reference to how leather football helmets were made. Meh. Ugly. (Looking at you Michigan, and Delaware.) If Princeton wanted to impress me they'd steal a page from the "White Tigers" look.

The NHL should step clear of WJC Quarterfinals day completely.

Effectively Disney/ESPN.

Any Canadians out there willing to give up their Provider, Username, and Password for http://tsn.ca/live ?

I ain't giving Disney more money. See above.

And find FIN-SWE is on ESPN+, subscription. With it not on NHLN is should be on WatchESPN (free for cable subscribers) not the subversion, I mean subscription ESPN+.

Turn on NHL Network expecting FIN-SWE and I see a bunch of mooks sitting in Fenway talking about an outdoor regular season game. I'm not going to win friends with this but ... - I'm done with outdoor gimics (the league will be too when bad ice ends a guy's career) - not interested in BOS in January - not interested in PIT in January I would rather be watching SWE-FIN than PIT-BOS. <- There. I said it.

Today: FIN-SWE at 10 Central CZE-SUI at 12:30 USA-GER at 3 CAN-SVK at 5:30

"Jake Taylor" quote here.

Don't worry about Wentz ... after this Carr debacle LVR will pick him up ... < Raider Nation > ...

Did you really just say nice Johnson?

Photos or it never happened.

CAN 2-0 SWE in first

Group B final standings: USA FIN SVK SUI LAT

USA 1-1 FIN after 1 Second starts with 4x4 hockey

Normal is five skaters not dressing. That’s what this is.

CZE came out to win and put pressure on SWE and CAN

CZE wins and leads Group A by two points pending SWE-CAN outcome. CZE is suddenly BIG CAN fan. Need CAN to win in reg or OT for CZE to win pool.
