Great game by the US hockey team today. Also great to see Suter cough it up on Slovakia's lone goal. Canada wasn't as impressive but I think they did just fine.

We are never overly impressive at the start of the tournaments. Canada had plenty of chances just didn't go in. I like the fact we stuck to the game plan.

I couldn't agree more. I'm not sure why they feel like Kunitz has to play top line minutes with Crosby. But Canada's D might be even better than I thought.
Hopefully after Canada wins again Shea Weber brings his gold in for us to gawk at and what not because I don't see the US beating them.

A lot of the thinking with team Canada under this current group since Vancouver has been whenever possible keep team mates and line mates united ... Crosby/Kunitz - line mates in Pittsburgh, Toews/Sharp - teammates, Perry/Getzlaf - teammates ... Etc. ... Plus this group believes in resume, that's why Nash is on the team, he performs very well internationally, also might be why Luongo ends up as the starter, gold medal goalie I'm Vancouver. I really thought today's game was pretty good, I think if people are looking for flashy, probably won't happen. They kind of looked a lot like the Detroit Redwings, shoot a lot, 5 guys back on D, the D move the puck quickly, lots of shots from the D. I think if Canada wins gold it will be great defence that does it. They have the weapons to turn it loose but I think they'll be content keep goals down.

Ice hockey: Sweden-Switzerland 1-0 <:-P quarter final next! I see a gold in the horizon... (It's so sad that Zetterberg has problems with his back, now we've lost our team captain)
Holy shit! Damn snow, I missed the 2nd period into the 3rd shoveling...when I came back in it went from 1-0 to 7-1! I expected us to win this game but not like that. Very nice!
Same thing I did.
Alright, alright, alright!

Two words: Gus Kenworthy.
Not only did he kick some beautiful ass in the men's skiing we watched last night, but...this too?
Bless him and those pooches.
(also - just me, or does he strongly resemble Matt Cameron?)

He should never been playing in the Olympics. He's been bothered by back issues most of the season. These NHL players need to remember who signs their pay cheques. Now they say he might need surgery, players who are nursing nagging injuries and choose to play in the Olympics and further injure themselves will be the primary reason the NHL pulls the plug on future Olympic participation. Now the Detroit Redwings must be holding their breath, Datsyuk has also been nursing a lower body injury.

Enjoy it ... Likely the last Olympics the NHL participates.
I may be in the minority, I never liked the NHLers in the Olympics.
I love it ... The only reason I pay much attention to the Olympics anymore. I hope I'm wrong and others are wrong ... I would say if they are in Korea in 4 years there will be some kind of system in place that will evaluate injured players giving teams control to say " no, you need to rest and heal".

I'm sad to hear that, I didn't know the injury was that serious

Yes it's sounds bad ... As of now he can't fly home until the pain goes down, sometime next week. I'm watching the Canada/Austria game and it was commented that Datsyuk is only playing at half speed. I understand wanting to represent and play for your country, I don't understand putting your team who pays your salary in a tough spot, not mention making it easier for the NHL to pull the plug on future participation.

Anyone with a favorite Olympian, since Vancouver Alex has been one of my favorite Olympians, great person with a great bond with his brother.
