That went away after Rafalski scored in the first minute. Love it...go USA!!

Just as Bob said, I too...Fascinating stuff, indeed. Just as Bob said, I too told everyone to look for Canada to attack the U.S. like bloodthirsty wild dogs after needing OT to dispense of the Swiss. I couldn't have been more wrong, it was the U.S. that came ready to play (<i>Miller standing on his head didn't hurt either</i>).<br /><br />As for the next U.S. games to be broadcast on channel 5, rather than some obscure stations that NBC owns, expect to miss key plays and rely on replays after the ridiculously lengthy commercials. It will probably suck. <br /><br />It used to upset me that hockey was treated like a second class citizen, it killed me when the NHL left ESPN. I wanted to share the greatest sport in the world with everyone that was kept in the dark. However, I no longer concern myself with that, I frankly no longer care that people are missing out. I know about the greatest game, so do you guys, I'm watching the games if I have to go to a sports bar to do it. Those that don't get it, let em' stick with baseball or whatever other else they like to nap to on a Sunday afternoon.<br /><br />Can you believe that either Canada or Russia will be eliminated from medal contention on Wednesday? I still can't wrap my mind around that one.Thunderpuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12344089819276488064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-44592108490440847832010-02-22T11:02:19.341-06:002010-02-22T11:02:19.341-06:00Ovechkin is amazing.

Of course Rafalski was sensational, but I couldn't help but notice how well the US team as a whole skates. For the younger guys, Patrick Kane stood out for me. Amazing game. <br /><br />And while they may not win the gold - you have to like the way the draw sets up. They can get to the finals without having to play Canada, Russia, or Sweden!ben8ganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03718860346316212557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-16138305504574876452010-02-22T09:26:06.148-06:002010-02-22T09:26:06.148-06:00Actually, Canada beat Belarus the one time they pl...Actually, Canada beat Belarus the one time they played in 2002.
