Tuukka Rask apparently a little shaky in between the pipes today for Finland. The Finns are looking for their 5th hockey medal in the last 6 Olympics ('94, '98, '10 bronze and '06 silver).

Finland beat Austria 8-4 in the early game. I wasn't awake for that one.

...And Ovechkin drags Kopitar out of the handshake line and tries to fight him! Ohmygosh it's total chaos on the ice!

5-2 win for Russia. Fantastic effort by Slovenia in their first-ever Olympic game.

USA smokes Slovakia 7-1. I know it's early but I think Slovakia will be hard-pressed to duplicate 2010's 4th place Olympic finish.

Impossible to read Slovenia's seafoam green jersey numbers on TV. Great work, Nike.

Still 7-1 USA over Slovakia

Wilbur (3): 2L 1 XXL neonpelican (3): 1 L 2 XXL southpaw (3) 2L 1XXL

I'm 5'10" and weigh 185, ok, 195 pounds and were an XL, if that helps.

Belov with a blast from the point...5-2 Russia. The Slovenian Seahawk dream is falling apart at the seams.

What a bizarre play. Puck going into the net...player crashes into goalie. Ref raises arm. No goal signal. Officials chat...no penalty...now a goal for Russia. It's the 1972 Soviet-USA basketball game all over again LOL.

Goal? Goalie interference? The referee had his hand up signaling penalty on Russia.

Norway's jerseys should be nice - they kept the more classic style.

End of 2 and it's Russia 3, Slovenia 2. Let's see Slovenia's miracle on ice in the third period.

Thanks for the updates LOL. Apparently we're talking to ourselves. Slovenia Seahawks score!!!!!

Kovalchuk scores for Russia...3-1.

Russia on the power play...still 2-1.

The USA rout is on!

Shots 22-6 Russia...but score only 2-1.

Slovenia's debut in Olympic ice hockey - they qualified for this tournament by defeating Denmark a year ago 2-1.

Russia: 16 NHL'ers Slovenia: 1

When did USA announce Quick as the starting goalie? Mad scramble in front of Slovak net...4-1!

USA really dominating play now. Wow...1:11 straight in the zone. Slovakia's line gassed.

Nike's template-tastic formula! Unfortunately, they are the exclusive manufacturer of Olympic jerseys. Groan...

Oshie with a great hustle play to create a turnover which leads to a goal by Stasny. 3-1 USA!
