That's actually a cool story - they wanted some "spirit" colors to differentiate themselves from the Czechs and Slovenskos of the world. I double-checked with the SiouxSports.com Board of Jerseys and we'll allow it.

REALLY? We're gonna call that weak cross-check on Gilroy while letting that Ivan Drago punch to the face in the 2nd go?

Russia has some real chirpers out there today.

Somebody at the IOC dropped the ball and let Russia harken back to the golden days of yore and all glory for the state and Communist party. Considering all the doping going back on in the CCCP era, this team should be wearing pink tutus out there and NOT red.

Great decision, Bettman. In every other sport, countries send their very best. In hockey, we send Brian Gionta and some guy who played goalie at Mercyhurst College.

DOPE IS FOR DOPES!

Defenseman collides with his own forward...nice work USA.

Where can I buy one of those "OLYMPIC ATHLETE FROM CCCP" jerseys?

Maybe we should replace Brian Gionta with Adam Rippon... ...never mind.

@Pump It Up -- you in about 20 more minutes.

I can't believe no penalty was called there...officiating crew from East Germany, Bulgaria, and Czechoslovakia?

I knew they shoulda gone with Thome in net...

.2 > .6

That whole scrum could have been avoided if on the previous shift, the commie b*st*rd that popped our guy's helmet off with a punch to the face gotten 2:00...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't our national colors red, white, and blue...as opposed to lots of white, navy blue, royal blue, and silver?

These jerseys make the game look like a good old-fashioned USA vs CCCP bout...being played in the year 2080.

Beauty of an assist on the GWG with 4:00 left in the game. The guy who scored the goal is my best friend of 20 years who told me after week 2 of this season that he's hanging up the broomball shoes for good when it's over. Nice way to go out.

Well, Red Army broomball did win another league playoff title on Wednesday night, a 2-1 win over Grumpys. #89 MOGILNY with the GWG...assisted by #13 MIKHAILOV.

I'll be wearing the blue 1960 replica early tomorrow morning! USA! USA! USA!

I would totally buy a Canada GENOWAY jersey.

Foreshadowing?

I watched the replay again in slow-motion and it appears that Cam Johnson came off the UND bench and pushed Thome, causing him to lose his balance...

Isn't your youngest kid named "Lightning?"

Hakstol would be absolutely skewered on this board for the team's performance this year. Berry's head would be rolling too had it not been for a certain Schmaltz semi-final goal against DU just under two years ago...
