I am so pissed off, along with a LOT of other Canucks... down here anyway. Ya can't find out what is on TV when. It's piss poor. I suppose the networks want you tune in to see what is on and stay tuned in hope that you can see what you want to watch.

Guess I'll search the net to see if there is any "sched".

Some of the gals played in Jasper, Alberta, recently. Their passing is incredible. I wish the Oilers did it half as well.

Dan, do you know the final score against Sweden? I saw only the first two periods.

I'm so sure Canada will be there for the Gold. Don't get me wrong. I sure am hoping but their are just so many great other teams. Russia has an unbelievable group of players as well as a few other teams. Russia are trying to jell as a unit just like Canada. I'm not betting on anyone at this point.

One of the "Oaths" they take at the Olympics, says they will try their best at all times, be fair and honest(or something like that)!
Run up the score "MY ASS"!
You start taking things "easy" in a hockey game, and one of two things happens; You get hurt, or somebody else does! Making a move on a team mate in practise is one thing. Trying it against an opponent, do what is unatural in the game, take it easy "one time" and there you are, watching from the stands, with your knee in a cast! I know a little about this one!
You may win in other sports, but in "Hockey" you beat them!!!

I said somewhere, and some time ago, that there's one person who can steal a game, and that's the goalie. Right now, the U.S. has the best one!
Great game tonight!

Beeb eventually got round to showing it after 15 minutes. Great game. Has anybody got stats on how effective pulling your goalie is? It always strikes me as a bit of a desperation throw, and you concede more than you gain.

They stopped serving beer in Vancouver. Is that how you Canadians declare an official day of mourning, gnu?

I am not a hockey fan and am sad that Canada didn't win it for the home crowd.

I'm not answering for gnu, he can do that on his own! So this is my perspective!
We just lost one game, and now have to take the long road! Been there, done that! Germany will make a game of it, but it's the Russians that give me more of scare.
During an official day of mourning, we switch to Crown Royal and chase it with imported beer! Usually the kind we gargle with!

Fact is, those Lotus Land Dope Smoking Yuppies on the Left Coast wouldn't get away with that Down Home (Atlantic Canada, the RIGHT Coast). Of course, Down Homegrown ain't as good as that Senseless-a-Million they grow out there. Well, that's what THEY say... I quit the shit a long time ago so I dunno.

Oh... yeah... Down Home... I dare say there would be hell to pay if they took away the beer here.

Dave... yw. Fact is, it is EXACTLY what you said... the last resort.

Now, sometimes, you have luck and sometimes you have players that you are betting on. Case in point, Jean Belliveau, numero cat pour Les Canadiennes. I wrote that correctly... cat... as in, dat guy put dat puck in dat net from da faceoff quick as a cat la!

Seriously. More than once. And, having an extra forward when Jean took the faceoff meant a chance for a rebound.

Now, if you have a faceoff guy that is good at getting the puck back to the blueline and you have a sharp shooter or two back there, the extra forward can try to screen or even take the puck in the pads for a rebound if...

Sorry... I get carried away sometimes.
