This is what it's all about boys and girls... this is when it REALLY gets fun. I sooooo can't wait!

My predictions:
- US vs the Fins - Fins win 5-2
- Sweeden vs the Swiss - Sweeden in a shootout
- Canada vs Russia - Canada 4-3
- Slovaks vs Czechs - Czechs 4-2

Keith Tkachuk sucks.

 

[SilentJ]

Canuckians better step it up a little...but I kinda want them to be out of the medals in some sick way.

 

[jacksonpt]

Keith Tkachuk sucks.

The US team in general has sucked it up.

 

[MMcG]

The US Team really disappointed. Winning a medal would have been a plus, even if it were a bronze. But to go 1-4-1 in six games at the Olympics - that's just pathetic.

Hopefully this ****ty performance will cause people within US Hockey to wake up and really focus our efforts on developing our nation's pool of hockey talent.

For us to finish so poorly is unacceptable in this day and age.

1-4-1??? Did they play the fins this afternoon? I take it they lost?

ESPN.com here I come...

Let's hope they progress - because they also disappointed at the Wold Junior Hockey Championships in BC earlier this winter.

The lost to Finland 4-3.

The officiating was horrible for a game of that magnitude but both teams had to deal with it so that's no excuse.

Amazingly 44 year old Chris Chelios was probably the USA's best player in the tourney.

But overall Team USA sucked major ass in Torino.

 

[MMcG]

Russia leads Canada 1-0 in the third period. Lone goal scored by Alexander Ovechkin - damn that guy is fun to watch!

 

[jacksonpt]

wow... Canada is out now too, got to see the last 4 minutes or so, great end to the game.

News Flash....

USA sucks at hockey, film at 11:00

I still say we would have had a better shot sending a team like the San Diego Gulls than trying to use NHL players.

 

[MMike]

All I know is those guys better not come home...

Canada too.

I think we ought to send the juniors...maybe they'd play with some heart.

 

[I Are Baboon]

No surprise USA got knocked out. I'm actually surprised they were as competitive as they were. Sure they only won one game, but they had some tough losses.

Shocker that Canada took such a beatdown though!

 

[MMcG]

The Canadians are going to catch all kinds of abuse when they return home. Holy Moly!

 

[Transcend]

That's ok, our ladies got the job done.

And the short track speedskating relay was WAY more exciting. WOW.

I didn't get to watch any of the WJC but I heard Kessel was pretty good but a little selfish (no surprise).

Funny that the Hawks have the rights to J. Skille and they may be getting Kessel if the balls fall the right way in the draft.

Those two hate each other.

Skille is from Madison and goes to UW.

Kessel is from Madison and went to UM.

 

[MMcG]

I think Kessel has already been drafted.

 

[firetoole]

no pond no care!

 

[jaydee]

The Canadian women could have easily handed the Canadian men a beating. Maybe we should have both teams transgendered for the next Olympics and swap them. On second thought, the Canadian men may already be transgendered.

He is this years #1 guy.
