I was a yelling SOB down the stretch. Good game, the girls got a few bad bounces, looking forward to the rematch.

Refs were terrible. Two missed to many men on the ice calls and a goal that shouldn't have been allowed. Lets hope the gold medal game isn't tainted by poor reffing.

Shani Davis didn't medal in his specialty the 1000m speedskating. He had won gold in the last two winter olympics. Team USA has really disappointed so far.

The U.S. won the most medals in Vancouver which was also a record number overall in the winter olympics. I wouldn't say we stink, our athletes just aren't performing well for whatever reason.

Team USA making a power play today at the Olympics. Just swept the skiing slopstyle event. Currently tied for number one overall with Norway at 12 medals/4 gold each.

52 shots for Finland, Tukka didn't play well though. I'm hoping Norway manages to clip Austria, it'd be an upset, even though Austria is much closer to the bottom 3 than the top end clubs.

Huge improvement by the US in this second period. It's good to get a game under the belt and build some chemistry. Slovakia isn't a contender, but they have their share of NHLers. Saturday against Russia should be a good one.

Good to see a dominating performance by the US. Should have been a shutout had the correct call been made on the offsides.

Russia got a scare from Slovenia. This is Slovenias first appearance in the Olympics and they only have one NHL player. Russia could be in trouble against the US on Saturday.

They also have a KHL player. But yeah, their goal scorer plays in the Swedish third league. Not a lot of talent. Canada should crush Norway with one NHL player and nobody else plays in the top two leagues

I wouldn't read too much into the Russia Slovenia score, personally. It was a layup game, and treated as such

^Agree. The first game is going to be a feeling out process for most teams. The Russians carried most of the play. This Canada game has a feel like the US game. They are owning the play and once one goes in I think the flood gates will open.
