USA was pretty shitty in the first game...too bad Swiss attacks were so unimaginative. It's really, really hard to say whther US defensemen can hold up with the best teams of the tournament...

GO FINLAND GO!!!

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Yeah, I agree, they're going to have to step it up defensively to even have a chance at a medal.....

[atomicpunk5151]

Anyways.....Team USA beat the Swiss in a closer game then some expected. The Swiss kept the pace slow and there was some feeling out in the 1st period.

The 4th line got it going with Ryan & Backes getting goals.

Then Ryan Malone got one on the PP. He is a great power forward that doesn't get the pup since he is stuck in TB. But that is his own fault for following the $$ down there. I have been following him since he first came up with the PENS. Local boy since his Dad played with the Pens in the 80s. How good would he look on Crosby's wing now....

Ryan Miller was also very solid. He looks to get every game going forward.

The prairies bit I thought was...quite off...

I thought they captured W.O. Mitchell's words brilliantly, and Mitchell's writings are about the prairies.

[Angel]

Just bizarre. It scared me actually that that is what someone came up with. Anyone who knows someone from the Praries must have been in shock after seeing that

I not only know people from the prairies, I LIVE there. However, I'm also a W.O. Mitchell fan, so I may have "grasped" it a bit better.

I thought they captured W.O. Mitchell's words brilliantly, and Mitchell's writings are about the prairies.

I thought Mitchell's words were well chosen.

That is all I liked about it though.

Anyways back to hockey in a few minutes.

Day 2:

Funland - Bel
Swed-Ger
Czech-Slov

++

Here are Sweden's lines from morning practice:


Daniel Sedin - Henrik Sedin - Mattias Weinhandl
Mattias Öhlund - Tobias Enström

Peter Forsberg – Henrik Zetterberg - Patric Hörnqvist
Nicklas Lidström – Niklas Kronwall

Loui Eriksson - Nicklas Bäckström - Daniel Alfredsson
Henrik Tallinder - Magnus Johansson

Johan Franzén - Samuel Påhlsson - Fredrik Modin

Looks a bit different without Mats Sundin...

King Henrik in net.
Will be very interested in seeing what Foppa has left in the tank.

+++

Also will be watching the Czechs tonight.

Everyones old friend Double J (Jagr) will be back in the spotlight. From what I have read in interviews from the Czech and Russian players, he could step back into the NHL and put up 70pts in a season. Everyone forgets how great he really was. Bring back THE MULLET!

There was more where that came from! Three more crashes to be exact.

Vintage Double J for the Czechs. Jagr was great with the GW Goal in the 2nd plus an assist. Late in the 3rd he was flyin everywhere. Dude should be sportin that Mullet in the NHL, such a waste over in Russia. How good would he look on Crosby's wing in the Burgh....

[PETE'S BROTHER]

I grew up in Sun Valley Idaho and used to race giant slalom and downhill. Many winter sports are dangerous and you can die. Wrecking on skis at 60 MPH is no picnic.

I lived in Salt Lake City when the olympics were there. What amazed me was the amount of corruption and bribes centering around the International Olympic Committee. The city putting on has to suck up to those guys and committee members were getting free tuition for their kids at state colleges, high end whores, lavish vacations, ect... The olympic games almost didn't happen because it was so riddled with corruption and Mitt Romney had to take it over and straighten the mess out which he did a good job of doing.

I grew up in the ski resort town and have skied since age 4. We played hockey in high school and had world class figure skaters at the Sun Valley Lodge. So I'm into winter sports but after Salt Lake I basically said fuck it. I don't give a ratt's ass anymore and pretty much could care less about the Olympics.

If a decent person works hard and earns a meddle, that's great but I don't give a ratt's ass about the corrupt and pompus International Olympic Committee and their abuse.

I love the battle in Alpine skiing going on between Lindsey Vonn and Julia Mancuso, both of the USA. They have been rivals for a long time and you can tell there is friction between them. Vonn is the hard worker typical focused athlete and Mancuso is a laid back surfer chick. Vonn 1 Gold Mancuso 2 Silver
