Uff....losses like that don't happen at the Mill.....ever. Put it on the list.

CC is struggling a wee bit. But losing to a color that to some isn't considered primary is a reason to end their program IMHO. Bulldozed list: -The Ralph -The John -The World Arena

Green helmets, green jerseys, white pants....that is all.

So wait a second. Toothpaste won the Mariucci classic? So after they bulldoze the Ralph is the John next?

Best possible scenario. Russia and Canada for the bronze. Doesn't matter who wins gold now. Either are fine.

You didn't have a two year old get you out of bed?

Hope they get a few more. Don't let Russia hang around.

And Kim Jung Il once shot an 18 on an 18 hole golf course......that wasn't putt putt....

Eh ohh....Canada go! Eh ohh....Canada go! I can't pretend to cheer for a team because the hockey gods are all knowing. They know that I'll cheer for Canada in just about any sport but hockey. Because of the constant reminder from Canadian fans that hockey is Canada's game. You know, they should have fans make signs that say that and bring it to games.

Road trip! Me, you, vintage USA hockey jerseys and all the red/white/blue face paint we can carry. We'll dominate Montreal next year! (Buddy system at all times)

Expectations: ~Don't get killed at home. ~Every game is competitive. ~If you're not dressed and on the sideline you're waiving a towel in support of your defense. ~No fifteen yard personal foul penalties multiple times a game. ~The opposing QB gets blood on his jersey. Record wise I just want a .500 season. Get people interested in the program again.

That Sweden group is fun to watch. Four lines going hard at you all game long. The only time the Slovaks were in their end was when they were on the power play. Could have been 10-0 if not for some great saves by the Slovak goaltender. Really hoping they just kill Russia.

Sweden absolutely rolling Slovakia right now. Hopefully Sweden gets a better effort out of the stripes against Russia than the U.S. did. When they're rolling no one can touch Sweden. 6-0 final. Lets go Suomi, lets go Sverige.

If that game didn't teach Lucia what it looks like to see Kyle Rau on the other side nothing will. Looks like the semi's sit like this: Russia vs. Sweden (watch your backs Sweden, because CFB was not a penalty today) Canada vs. Finland I'd love to see Russia play Canada for the bronze. And Russia to win on some garbage officiating mistake. I can't imagine what TSN would be like right now had you put Canada in place of the U.S. in that game. Those officials wouldn't have left the arena without death threats.

Finland vs. Canada Saturday. Of course I'm giving the Swiss NO CHANCE at beating Canada. Hear that SWITZERLAND! ZERO CHANCE! No way they score on God....errr...Fucale....

Ruuvi Kanada, go Suomi!

3-2 Czech's now late in the second period.

U.S. games were on nhl.com. But they don't have any more games.... Currently looking at where I can possibly watch a game online, but not having any luck.

Update: Czech's 3 Finns 1 Late in the second period.

I'm not going to throw Lucia under the bus, but why on earth didn't they switch up the powerplay when Russia was going pressure box the entire time? Zero good opportunities on the powerplay at the end when it was the most pivotal. I DVR'd the game and went back and looked at those checking from behind plays again and I'm not sure what the official was looking at. Russia got away with three of them.....stupid.

Yeah, I've got to be a Sweden fan too. Can never cheer for Russa, can't cheer for Canada. Maybe Finland will pull some magic. I guess I'd rather see Russia before Canada....yikes.....sad but true.

And that'll do it. Felt that one coming from the time I saw the U.S. was going to play Russia. And of course the Russians pull that crap at the end. Even their fricken stick guy pulls that bull crap......All because the officials let them do it the entire game and the linesmen wasn't in the right spot after they scored to prevent them from skating right past the U.S bench. Easily the worst officiated game I've seen at the international level from every official on the ice. But the U.S. made up for it by showing nothing after the first period.

Kerdiles got tackled....no call.

Still waiting for even the tiniest push from the U.S. Got to start engaging the d men on the cycle. Five minutes until a flight home.

I think Donnie needs to take a timeout here before the power play. Gotta get some thing going. And Copp just missed an empty net.
