Hey GAwe....
USA v Finland on Friday. Should be a good one. Americans are riding high right now. Finland is coming together and Kipper has been great in net. Most American hockey fans are totally overlooking Finland, but I know it will be a close game.
+++
On the other side I can't believe the Swedes lost to the Slovaks. Sweden v Canada would have been great. Now it looks like Canada will roll the Slovaks who are stong up front but are lacking a big time goalie.
++
Will we see a USA v Canada rematch in the Gold Medal game on Sunday? IT would be great, but it is by no means a lock.
The US better not relax vs. Finland or they'll be playing for the bronze....

I think what most of you guys are forgetting is that most of the time the pop or rock stars from a nation are in the CLOSING ceremonies, not the opening.I can overlook Rush's snub but........overlooking this mega star, unforgivable

Back in Salt Lake City Winter they had both KISS and Bon Jovi at the closing ceremonies.
In Sydney they had Men at Work in the closing. Also in China a few years ago the had Jimmy Page and several others.
Still a chance for RUSH on Sunday night 2/28. I would also guess that maybe Shawnia Twain, Nickleback, Bryan Adams, The Tragically Hip and other of thier type show up.
The real shame will be if ANVIL or Loverboy don't get up and play!!!

Team Canada sorry as hockey women party at centre ice
VANCOUVER - Hockey Canada apologized Thursday for an impromptu party the Olympic women's hockey team threw for itself on the Canada Hockey Place ice after winning the gold medal.
Canadian players, still wearing their uniforms and with gold medals draped around their necks, celebrated their victory by drinking champagne and beer at centre ice following a 2-0 win over the United States.
The International Olympic Committee said it will investigate the celebration, which included drinking by one of Canada's underage players.
In a statement released late Thursday, Hockey Canada apologized.
"The members of Team Canada apologize if their on-ice celebrations, after fans had left the building, have offended anyone," the statement read.
"In the excitement of the moment, the celebration left the confines of our dressing room and shouldn't have. The team regrets that its gold medal celebration may have caused the IOC or COC any embarrassment.
"Our players and team vow to uphold the values of the Olympics moving forward and view this situation as a learning experience."
Marie-Philip Poulin, who at 18 is not old enough to legally drink in British Columbia, was one of the players taking part in the post-game boozing.
Later in the night, Poulin met the media at the Molson Hockey House, but answered only two questions that were restricted to the game.
Gilbert Felli, the IOC's executive director of the Olympic Games, said he wasn't aware of the celebration until informed by a reporter with The Associated Press.
"If that's the case, that is not good," he said. "It is not what we want to see.
"I don't think it's a good promotion of sport values. If they celebrate in the changing room, that's one thing, but not in public."
Felli said the IOC would talk to the International Ice Hockey Federation and the Canadian Olympic Committee to get more information.
The makeshift party was still going on nearly an hour after the game.
Gillian Apps passed around a victory cigar, while tournament MVP Meghan Agosta lay on her back just inside the blue-line, sipping from a can of beer and looking up at the ceiling lights five storeys above her, just savouring the moment.
Some climbed aboard the ice-surfacing machine to have their pictures taken. Others posed at centre ice with their gold medals.
"We understand that they were asked to go back onto the playing field after the stadium had emptied to take a photo," IOC spokesman Mark Adams said. "We understand that some people may have felt that their behaviour was over-exuberant."
Steve Keogh, a spokesman for the COC, said the organization had not provided the alcohol or initiated the party.
"In terms of the actual celebration, it's not exactly something uncommon in Canada," he said. "If these athletes were of legal age, then it's not something that's against the law. We can understand there's a lot of sensitivity around celebrations.
"We condone celebrations. ... We don't condone actions of irresponsibility. I think Canadians understand it's quite an emotional moment for our team. It was not our intention to go against any IOC protocols."

E- Jesus . Playing both sides because he didnt understand the argument in the first place
Big Hockey day today would be an understatement.......
Trip to the Gold Medal Game on the line.
USA v Finland
Canada v Slovak
It is fuckin game on!
WOW, didn't expect this.
Ass kicking in progress.
They don't want to let up, but you don't run up the score to be an ass either. Goal diff doesn't matter in this round.
Keep the shifts short and play it out.
Love that Kane is getting in on the scoring with the 3rd line, he needs to pick it up. 2nd line with MAlone and Joe P is also in on the scoring, hopefully Kessel can get going to. ZP and the 1st line is in now as well.
Yes it's game on. Hopefully a USA-Canada Final.
Good to see some Americans following. There's fuck all on US TV up here in Canada for coverage. What about down south?
ESPN? or anything??
I doubt it, didn't NBC not show the USA - Canada game for ICE DANCING?
NBC is burying the coverage on MSNBC, a cable news channel of which if you are not a regular viewer, chances are you'll never find it.I doubt it, didn't NBC not show the USA - Canada game for ICE DANCING?

So, the table has been set. USA and Canada play for the Gold. You couldn't ask for a better game.
Apparently NBC will broadcast the game at 3PM(EST), rather than dumping it off to one of it's cable channels.
Damn rights...what a game it will be!!!These only come around every 4 years or more.The pace and action will be unreal.
Still miss the Canada Cup Series too.
Im hoping we can hang with them..its gonna be tough to take two

Another one of those classic genius posts, sure to generate responses. You log on the next day to see what your witty gem has produced to find no one gets it and 2 knotheads want to stick their dicks in it... Well played, sir!!
I've been waiting two weeks to be able to say this. Eat your words, Kristy. Nobody's whining up here! :tongue0011:

It's also astounding that according to that list Angel (Full Medal Standings), Great Britain has only a single medal to it's credit. That's merely one more than me, and I didn't even compete.
Looking forward to this game. Canada seems to be on a roll right now, and will be tough to beat.
What the fuck does GB have to do with it????
You made a post about the medal count, including a link to a chart reflecting it. I made an attempt at humorous commentary regarding England's lousy performance. Is that not OK with you?
I'm thinking about watching this year. When do they start?
Announcer: Hello, and welcome to Sports Talk Radio. Our first caller is from South Florida...
Caller: Yes, hello? I have a question.
Announcer: Go right ahead.
Caller: OK...baseball...how do you play?
WOW! The U.S. ties with under thirty to go...OVERTIME!
Congrats, Hosers! I had a feeling this would come down to US vs Canada, and if we had to lose to somebody, it might as well be the folks who invented the game.

Congratulations to the Canadians. Thanks for a great series of games, and a terrific final. Well played.
Was rooting for the USA of course, but if they're gonna lose, let it be from Sid....
Fuckin awesome game. It could've gone either way. The US team played great, great comeback.
