...because we all know that being a high round or first round draft choice is a sure-fire sign of your college and NHL future. For example, Brian Lawton...oh, wait...well, Patrick Stefan...dang, ok, wait, I have one, Radek Bonk, groan...nevermind...

That's what it all boils down to - 9 times out of 10, the Soviets smoke the US in 1980...but that one time...that ONE time...

http://extramustard.si.com/2014/02/19/austrian-hockey-team-partying-before-olympic-loss/?eref=sihp Really, Austria? LOL!

That's enough out of you, Canada...let's go out behind the woodshed!

Do you believe in miracles? C'mon Latvia!

You're kidding me, right? if the Latvians beat Canada, they'll be parading down the streets of Riga for a month!

Like you always do when the team you're cheering for is down a goal or tied...and your expert opinion says that they should be winning by a baker's dozen.

It's Bylsma. Do you want everyone fired?

Non-commie b*st*rds!

former commie b*st*rds...

in larryonov and trettyak we trust

I know how they played...watched almost every game of theirs. They looked like a team afraid to lose - and it showed.

I know...I predict lots of heads rolling in Russia over this. Olympic FAIL.

Where did you read that kind of smack-talk?

They gave a better salute to the Canadian fans four years ago..c'mon, Russia...that was terrible. Your fans were there to support you and the biggest memory of the tournament you gave them is a 4-0 shut-out over NORWAY? Valeri Kharlamov and Sergei Makarov are rolling over in their graves...

Right! It'll be like Dinkytown AFTER the 2002 NCAA hockey title game.

OK, gfhockey... You aren't kidding, though. I kept waiting for Team Russia to turn on the jets...but the jets turned out to be prop planes.

Geez, Evgeni...that looked even sadder on the replay. That's ok...DaveK still loves you.

I didn't even realize that he was in the game.

Jersey-watch update: I like Russia's double-eagle jerseys. Kind of a surprise given my taste, but they're pretty cool. After initially screaming bloody murder about both of Finland's jerseys, I've come around on the blue ones. Not too shabby.

Kovalchuk...speaking of guys who are PO'd...sheesh... Let the riots begin in Moscow...

Ovechkin looks completely frustrated...

That was an unbelievable save.

Maybe I just happened to get the updates on here at the wrong time...all is good...watching hockey on my phone. Best...invention...ever.
