Default Re: Own the Podium

misty, my cure for insomnia = late night speed/racing channel....so boring

rm, agh, i found out that MSNBC is NOT one of the 899 channels i am paying $89.99 a month for but that i can get if for an extra $2.99 a month....what a steal

useless trivia:
your nbc news anchor as well as our ctv olympic anchor are both named Brain Williams...i warned you it was useless


ok, lastly, the hockey tourney aint quite over, actually it's 'starts' tonight

there are 6 wonderful teams, it's really like old Original Six hockey, eh

we could use the extra game to gel...after Ger we have to get through Russia and probably Swe to make it to the Gold medal game

the USA should coast by Switzerland (we didn't, lol) before likely meeting the unpredicatble Czechs then likely Finland before hopefully a Can rematch

Russia has the most talented powerplay (Malkin, Ovechkin, Kovlachuck or Datsyuk...Gonchar and Zubov on the blueline) so better play disciplined

Sweden won the whole thing back in 2006 and the USA back in 1980

it's a tall order but it would make for a well earned Gold be it Can or USA

btw, I can name 20 guys who didn't get picked for Canada's squad that might make it as a Gold medal group...i think our not naming a #1 goalie following camp was not wise...it's easier playing goal (like the stellar Miller) without having to look over your shoulder...anyhow, enjoy all the action, folks
