GREAT

Awesome day of watching olympic hockey today.

The Russia v Czech game this afternoon was chippy and hard hitting for an olympics. Alex Ovechkin is so much fun to watch it is silly. That devastating open-ice hit he put on on Jaromir Jagr is something we will see over and over for many years. Tonight Team USA upsets Canada 5-3. Great night by former Sparty goalie Ryan Miller. The last 4 minutes of that game was about the most exciting hockey you will ever see.

Sweden against Finland tonight. I don't know if I will ever get to sleep tonight.

Team USA is made up of amongst others.... Spartans, Buckeyes, and Wolverines. In this case, I want them all to win.

USA! USA! That was fantastic. Hopefully Rafalski can keep his hot streak alive for the Wings when he returns.

I think it's important to know the difference between Canadians and Buckeyes:
-Canadians can sing "O' Canada" in French and actually know what the words mean. Buckeyes can sing "Sloopy Hang On" and don't have a clue what the words mean.
-If you're Canadian, three of your best friends are named Gordon. If you're a Buckeye, three of your best friends are named Bubba.
-If you're Canadian, you substitute beer for water when cooking dinner. If you're a Buckeye, beer is your dinner.
-If you're Canadian, you may have to eat your brothers and sisters to stay alive during the winter months. If you're a Buckeye, you just marry them.
-In Canada, the kitchen doubles a meat processing plant. In Ohio, your kitchen usually doubles as a Meth lab.
Thank you, I'll be here all week, please tip your waitresses.

Phil... You may have embellished just a bit but your comparison is very funny. I know all the words to "Oh Canada" but only in English and a buckeye would not understand that either. The only Gordon a buckeye knows is gin.

Andy.. I am with you on that. It does not matter if they are Wolverines, spartans or buckeyes as long as the USA wins.

I was watching the Russia-Czech game yesterday. Even when it isn't the Wings, the NBC announcers still hate the Wings...Geeze.
