Yeah, Canada is gonna smoke everyone from here on out.

That's what I was fearing. I told my girlfriend that the US and Canada were going to end up playing for the gold and that Canada was going to straight up embarrass the US. We have Miller, but I could see Canada winning 5-0 or 5-1.

She won't give it up so you are punishing her by discussing hockey?

Still not having sex zing!

There's video of him working out in the locker room, dropping down to the butterfly on the floor, then launching backwards up to the bench, dropping down to another butterfly, then jumping back down to the floor. Cool in and of itself, but incredibly impressive when they show him doing it at about 100 mph.

Was he the goalie benched in the 1980 seminfinal game?

Yeah, a controversial move. Though Mishkin was no slouch, Tretiak may be the greatest of all time.

An even more controversial move was not pulling nabakov after the first period last night....or after the first 15 minutes of the game

Why start him in the second if only to yank him after two goals? I think the broadcasters asked why not yank him after the 1st goal in the second? You had a 6 goal leash? I think I would have pulled him after the first 3. You have Bryzgalov, give Nabokov a night off.

Canada beat the USA for the gold medal in women's hockey. Reports read that it was a great game that Canada's goaltender Shannon Szabados basically made the Canadian win happen. No reason to hang heads. Great job getting the silver Team USA women!!

EJ olympic love from NHL.com. What is especially nice are the raves about his defensive play.

Finland is no slouch. The US needs to play the way they did against the Swiss and Miller needs to be on his game.
