Parise scoring today is big. Hopefully that will spark him and get him going. I liked what each line bought to the table today...especially the Backes line.

I'll buy into what Mafia has been peddling...luck!

Kessel with 5 goals and 8 points in these games so far.

Least you'll have a job by the end of the day!

SOG 18-13 USA. 4-1 USA end of 2nd.

Stop! I'm still trying to get my head around the math of 4 regionals with 4 teams in each regional!

Couldn't find Latvia on a map even if was colored in with a pink highlighter but as long as they beat Canada................

Been USA's best line by a wide margin so far today.

Kane 2 on 1 w Parise....he has to shot that one.

USA giving Jagr a beating so far.

Quick has saved a couple grade A chances by the Czechs.

Brown!!! 2-1 Great feed from Backes.

Fowler...post.

Zach has looked lost on the big ice these Olympics. Maybe the linemates change will help.

Shot of pipe by the Czechs. USA needed that whistle badly

USA getting worked!

Off USA skate.

Boom!!! JVR with a goal 90 seconds in! USA USA USA!!!

No other way to say this...but for the host country, the Russian men's hockey team has been the biggest disaapointment. And it's not even close..............

Kouvlechuk (sp) is playing today like a frickin goon. One dirty play/hit after another. Embarrassing....

Probably still PO'ed he wasn't called to be in the SO vs. the USA.

3-1 Finland end of 2nd. SOG 24-17 Finland How many Russian players go "missing" if they lose this game? Addendum: Corrected my mistake on the SOG.

Schloss has a blog piece and comments on Hak's "system" offensively and that from '04 forward UND is 3rd nationally in overall scoring. Guess that blows my issue of Hak running too tight a system at times of of the water. BTW in 32 games this year included are 4 exhibitions, UND has scored 3 or less 21 times. 2 goals or less 11 times.
