7am Sunday. Game on! Gold on!

So that most have been a different US team that some were talkin' 'bout. And it certainly wasn't the Canadian team that some have been watching.

So the player in the lead "tripped" the chasing player? "Interesting".

Mask, snorkel and water wings. I'm ready.

Fingers, and toes crossed hoping it doesn't go out during the game cause I'll lose what's left of my mind.

Absolutely correct. It's ok not to understand hockey (or like it for that matter) and I chose my words poorly. What I meant to convey was that those people, who by birth alone think they know hockey, should not run their mouths about something they do not understand.

Not sure about the linesperson but the ref was from that hotbed of hockey known as Great Britain.

I actually stung my hands when I clapped. I don't remember ever doing that before.

Like Jim Craig… without the win, or gold medal.

The amount of Canadians that don't understand hockey is embarrassing.

Last "best on best" hockey that the Russians/USSR won? 1981 Canada Cup They havn't had a good team in a LONG time.

That says a lot doesn't it. Well Ted Nolan gets to coach against Canada tomorrow. The Swiss were down 2-0 and they still played 5 back.

Ya a point a game over 10 whole games while playing reduced minutes is a real indicator of an over hyped hack.

Funny how we all have our price point. Livetarget is about my max price wise, but if I'm buying a lure that I deem "bass specific" my price point comes down. I guess I don't see bass being as finicky or tough to catch as walleye or trout. (Not saying I'm right, just the way I feel)

Sure they work… Anglers have been buying them for years. Seriously they are a quality lure that are comparable price-wise to other name brand cranks. They might be more detailed then necessary for most situations but in clear water that might just be the difference that's puts a fish on the line.

I learned long ago to keep my hands as far from my nose as possible.

You play low skill teams that collapse to the net and the forwards get clogged up and the D-men are open. It won't be any different against the Swiss (or Latvia) but it will be against the Russians and Sweedes. The US doesn't have the skill either but they hate (and don't) play the try not to lose game. Canada is the best team, but the best teams don't always win one-and-done tournaments.

Finland is doesn't have the horses, or the talent. They are playing not to lose, they are good at it, and used to it.

Night time casting maybe.

^That^ was the one that they couldn't use anymore because the leaf was a brand logo. Hockey Canada made a bit of a stink about it, even though they knew all along that they would benefit from the new sales.

The Swiss played the Swedes tough today.

You really must have been because they were Austrian. But I know what you mean.

I'm not a fan of any of the three, although to be fair I didn't like the 2010 uniforms either. It's not about a good design, just different, to sell a new set to fans. I liked this one:

Both have durability has the main selling feature. I'd hold them both and see which is lighter and feels more sensitive. I would also not rule out some other rods.
