    The ins will be a tough one. Now I haven't seen any of their games, but I know from the past that they don't mind hitting and are pesky.

    Can't underestimate the Finns. Swiss gave the US a good fight but ran out of gas by the time the third rolled around.
    Hard game to call, should be a dandy.

    Does anyone else find it ridiculous that this game is on in the middle of the day on a Friday?? This is the medal round....these games should be in prime time!! It sucks that a majority of the country wont be able to watch since theyll be at work...myself included.

    Well they will want to avoid the two games at the same time, but at least late afternoon would be better.

    If USA can play like they did against the Swiss, I like our chances... Shots were 32-8 after 2 periods... Kiprusoff is good, but I don't think that he can battle like Hiller.

    Just keep working, skating, hitting, and everything will be good.

    The Fins skaters are a lot better than the Swiss though. Should be a good battle.

    Yeah, at least late afternoon. It just seems kinda dumb to be playing that big of a game in the middle of the day. I might have to fake sick and go home from work early... :)

    If I'm reading the schedule right on nbcolympics.com, US game is at 3PM ET, and Canada at 9:30 ET... You'd think they could push the US game to like 5 or something.

    3 ET isn't too bad, I was thinking it was at 12 or something. There is still room to fit it in before the other game though.

    I will definitely DVR it, but the chances of me not knowing the outcome by the time I get home from work are slim to none. Between the internet, people at work and the radio on the drive home, it would be damn near impossible.

    If the canadians played in mid afternoon during work day. I'm sure there would be a huge flu bug through the whole country that day :D

    I think the whole country might just shut down. I do find it amazing how the entire country is so invested in it's hockey team. Nothing even close to that in the US.

    not nationwide, city to city tho kinda.

    i know in pittsburgh monday night football causes serious unpenalized no-shows all over the city on both monday and tuesday.

    and every time we win a superbowl or a stanley cup it is an absolute holiday for the victory parades
    and fuck me if I say somethin you dont wanna hear, fuck me!
    and fuck me if you only hear what you wanna hear
    fuck me...if I care...but im not leavin here

    Oh yeah, obviously its like that on a city by city basis. But the fact that a whole country is behind one team like that is pretty amazing.
