Pump It Up

Why would you want to expose the world to Eichel, McDavid, and crew?

Might have been us if we hadn't defecated all over ourselves against Slovenia.

Russia will win the group, obviously. Not sure who is in position for the 4th bye, but it won't be the USA.

Kovalchuk with another beaut. 4 rip.

I'd go back to bed but I've had 3 espressos.

My boy Garrett Roe did well to not retaliate and the genius international refs just gave Russia a freebie. Frustrating.

END OF TWO 3-0 Russia. US leads SOG 20-19.

Kovalchuk with .2 left on the clock. Helluva shot.

Greenway trying to take on the entire Red Army himself.

Been a while since 9th grade civics, but that's my recollection as well.

The IOC sure went all out selecting their logo.

Pathetic power play here for the boys.

Gionta skating around with a pocket full of werthers original candies out there.

American PP, 4 on 3. And Gionta forgot his geritol this morning because he messed up a great breakaway chance.

No shots on that russian PP. Back to 5 on 5. 15 left in the 2nd.

2-0 bad guys. Prokhorkin has both goals. Russia back to the PP.

Penalty killed. One shot on that Russian power play.

END OF ONE Russians up 1-0, will have 1:34 of remaining PP time to start the 2nd. Also lead SOG 13-11.

Greenway is a man.

Damn. 1-0 bad guys.

It's flawless again. God bless my wife. I'll send you a before and after text tomorrow morning.

Two options right now. Go to sleep immediately and make sure the alarm is set for 6 am. Or, drink the pain away, walk to Perkins and be ready to go in 6.5 hours. I'm opting for the former because I've been making better decisions as I age. Godspeed boys.

15 in PWR. UND will win tomorrow. Miami, who has a fair amount of talent, has cashed in. UND will win the next 3. That season ending series against SCSU will decide this team's fate.

Well, Russia was and should still be the heavy favorite in this tournament, but they did lose to the team we beat last night... SO I'M SAYING THERE'S A CHANCE!

That ref is committed. More effort on that one play than exhibited in the careers of all Shepherds combined.
