USA was a shoot-out win...Canada was an OT win. TJ somebody-or-other apparently played a big role in the USA shoot-out win.

3-1 win over Norway 6-0 over Austria 2-1 (OT) over Finland

The SiouxSports logo is digitized so the size is the same on all hats regardless of what batch they were in. The monikers are not and I suppose it depends on who is running the thread machine that day. I also noticed that the monikers on hats in the second batch of hats was bigger than monikers from the first batch.

Slovenia over Austria - Kopitar and the Seahawks aren't ready to go home yet. Russia over Norway - Ovie and the Russians will be in blow-out mode. Slovakia over the Czech Republic - just a hunch I have. Latvia over Switzerland - The riddle of Hiller gets solved by The Latvians. And the Swiss can't score themselves.

Any predictions for the next round?

bigskyvikes...neonpelican...YaneA...everyone happy now?

I'm glad you have chosen to toe the party line, comrade.

What a horrible turnover by Finland...Rask bails the team out there. Finland jerseys...awful. Canada's glossy maple leafs on the shoulders..the red 'rain slicker' effect.

And Kyle Rau, er, Sidney Crosby, yaps at Selanne, trying to explain the legitimacy of his flop.

Sidney Cry-sby!

Yea, Goon, facts aren't tolerated here.

Fire Brewster, eh gfhockey?

I see what you did there... Not quite a "sickle" of sticks since they didn't exactly put the "hammer" down on the Slovaks.

Good! That should prevent Canada from tanking it in order to obtain a better match-up in the elimination round.

Canada and Russia in the 4/5 game? Tommy likey! Tommy want wingey!

That's funny. I realize that Johnny is openly (no pun intended) mocking Putin and his country's laws, but wow...

Well, duh, it's the acronym for the Institutional Revolutionary Party of Mexico, sheesh. Fixed my post, LOL.

WHAT? Not staying with NBCSN to pick up some fashion tips from Johnny Weir while you watch the couples skating competition?

Russians with the traditional semi-circle of sticks in a salute to their fans.

Nyet! Nyet! Soviet! NOT SO FAST, MY friend!

Radulov and Kovalchuk win it for the Russians.

Right!!!!! Things will be different in the elimination round.

Da, comrade. They needed regulation win in order to be the 4th seed.

OT win or OT loss, it's an elimination game on Tuesday. "Executive Order " from Putin to re-open Soviet gulags to follow on Wednesday?

Well, I had to change the channel...smokey the cat, fightingsioux4life, and DaveK just showed up for breakfast.
