The Finns have an OT loss, a loss, and are looking at another loss tonight - correct me if I'm wrong, but Finland might need some help just to make the medal round. What a shock it would be to see the defending champs in the relegation game. Ouch!

2-1 over Notre Dame. The Irish rolled the Lakers twice in South Bend earlier this season.

That's your opinion, fair enough. I still think Notre Dame could re-open this investigation immediately if they wanted to - but there is a better chance of the Fighting Irish taking the field wearing maize and blue uniforms before that happens.

2-1 Canada start of the 3rd period.

Not this year...just the white, blue, and alternate maize block M jersey. There will, however, be a special set of jerseys made for February's Hockey City Classic. http://www.mgoblue.com/sports/m-hockey/spec-rel/090814aaa.html

Michigan wins the GLI for the 16th time.

Yep. Let's go Finn Finlander!

Technically, that's Michigan's third jersey - white is actually their official home jersey.

When's the last time the NFL suspended a player for a playoff game?

Q: where was Merton Hanks born and where did he play high school football? A: Dallas TX

OK, you keep dancing around what's obviously an uncomfortable issue for you and the leadership at Notre Dame...I'm talking about sexual assault and you're deflecting attention to academic cheating (UNC) and improper benefits (USC). Do you have any comments at all about Lt Frank Drebin and the rest of The Naked Gun cops in charge of that investigation? I'm not picking on ND either...for the record, I think Jameis Winston's antics and Jimbo's constant going to bat for him are both despicable.

Russia with one last great chance but it's a final at 3-2.

Goal! 3-2 Sweden.

Easy to use hindsight with respect to what? Allowing the Te'o story to actually be released after the hoax had been confirmed instead of waiting until weeks later? Or are we talking about the police speaking with a player who apparently sent a text message to an alleged sexual assault victim warning her of the consequences of messing with Notre Dame football? Melinda Henneberger isn't some University of Michigan hack looking for revenge against the Fighting Irish. She's a Notre Dame graduate (class of 1980)...and Lizzy Seeberg wasn't some Notre Dame hater...she was a big Fighting Irish fan.

Wow! Sweden's Forsling ties it with an absolute laser from just inside the blue line.

Oh please. Pretending to be the "good guy" and feigning shock at cheating allegations...covering up and delaying the news release of a Heisman Trophy candidate's fake girlfriend dying in order to preserve the school's reputation (not to mention potentially garnering sympathy votes for that Heisman candidate)...continuing with a practice for almost 30 minutes AFTER a kid filming it in 40-50 mile an hour winds dies after the scissor lift he is on tips over... ...and bungling a sexual assault investigation so badly that it would make Florida State University campus police blush (not to mention the victim in the matter killing herself)... http://ncronline.org/news/accountability/reported-sexual-assault-notre-dame-campus-leaves-more-questions-answers Please, please, keep reminding me how much "better" Notre Dame is than everyone else.

Sweden and Russia tied at 1 heading into the 3rd period...

Where on earth did the seller get the idea of putting "WCHA" in the listing?

17 saves for Demko in the shutout...3-0 final USA over Slovakia.

Hayden! 3-0 USA. A Yale Bulldog, BTW.

2-0 USA...if anyone's interested.

4-2 final at Joe Louis Arena...Michigan Tech gets the W.

I guess Bob Daniels apparently wants to make sure Tech doesn't win 5-2 as opposed to 4-2...Motte finally leaves the ice with 40 seconds left in the game.

Ferris kills off the 5x3 and remaining 5x4...1:33 left in the game...CJ Motte still in between the pipes.
