It gets easu to cath after a whyle.

gfhockey fever...it's catchy!

That's two years in a row my team has been upset - last year as the #2 seed losing the semi-final to the #3 seed and this year as the #1 seed losing the championship game to the #3 seed. How long will I tolerate mediocrity? It's obvious my system doesn't work. Most talented team in the league...some former state indoor and outdoor champions on this team. How come I can't motivate them? It's time...to fire myself.

I haven't felt this crappy about a loss since...well...since last night when my broomball team blew the championship game of the playoffs.

Where is the puking emoticon when I need it?

I agree that it was a bs call...but, again, you KNOW the officials are going to try to even things up. Why even put yourself into the situation? And just before that breakaway...how about you hit the waiting left-handed shooter with a pass ON HER STICK as opposed to the opposite-hand side? Pass gets fumbled, picked off, and skated down the other way...while USA player #3 is skating off on a line change? Good grief...FIRE HAKSTOL!

Good point. Although I think in terms of (un)popularity here on the board, gfhockey is the equivalent of Lyndon B Johnson...and that makes us Barry Goldwaters.

You DIDN'T want a penalty called on the Canuck for using her stick to slam the US player onto the back of her head?

I thought that was ME?

Say what you want about the slashing call in OT...you can't put yourself in the situation like that where a call might be made. You KNOW the refs will be looking for anything to even things up.

Right! gfhockey could have hit that open net...on a good buzz.

Canada's second goal was a back-breaker...5 white jerseys occupying about 10 square feet of ice.

Off-sides, girls...sheesh

Right! This is the Olympics...not the Edina Mites Jamboree!

Time remaining?

Correct - 6th place. Or else. http://sochi2014.iih...s/germany-army/

gfhockey is everywhere today!

Fire Hak if USA loses this game? Oh, wait, he's Canadian...

Olympic parity.

Nope, one of my other players did, though...so we played the entire second half a player down. Pretty impressive, if you ask me.

5 on 3? No problem. My broomball team killed off a 20 minute power play two weeks ago.

And I've leave Jim O'Brien off that list and put Bjugstad on there. Interesting story about Jim O'Brien, though...he was among a group of healthy scratch players for the Ottawa Senators (in town to play the Bruins) who had planned to attend the 2013 Boston Marathon - and stand near the finish line. The group decided to 86 the idea of going to watch the race and instead stayed in their hotel and took a nap instead.

Was he slew-footing one of the L twins as they left the ice?

Thanks, cberkas.
