Men's Gold Medal Hockey - Canada versus Sweden

[Mudcat]

Got my alarm set for 6:43 a.m. and the coffee set up and ready to go. They think they can rattle me with a stupid start time but no. There is no time they can start this thing where I wouldn't be watching, you bastards.

I hear the local bars have special permission to start selling alcohol at 7 a.m. You gotta be just a little too enthusiastic about your alcohol to even want that, seems to me. Of course I would have been all over it back in the day.

Anyway, go Canada 'n stuff.

I think I would go to the bar and have a drink at 7 am just for the novelty of it.

Must admit that I'm a little jealous. Good luck Cancucks! I will probably only see the final score on the ticker or if I call the score hotline 1-800-555-tell.

That's how we do it NYC.

NYC>Canada

Blitty, how you feeling about the bronze medal game? I know you're a fan of Selanne.

 

[Blitty]

Love Teemu. Feel good about what happened.

Don't care about a bronze. Just want to see Canucks cry.

cmon Canada one time.

 

[Mudcat]

It's hard to work up any kind of hate for Swedes. Good luck gentlemen. Let's have a clean game and may the best man win.

Go Hosers!

Mike Babcock is buggy looking, especially when he gets talking. Is not flattered by a close-up.

Saw an interview with him ~10 minutes ago and now I just feel weird about the whole thing.

 

[mrquincy]

He looks like I suspect GI Joe would, if he were real. He has an Army Sargent look to him, like he should have an 1/2 smoked cigar in his mouth at all times.

 

[Boner_18]

Between the goal and the only PP it's seemed like Canada has dominated the 1st.

 

[Mudcat]

I was a bit surprised how often Sweden was winning those battles for possession along the boards. That is supposed to be Canada's domain. They are scrapping well.

I have been watching the game muted to not wake up my roommates. It's not the same. They can suffer.

Carey Price is doing a helluva job.

2nd period ---> NOICE!
