Jack Johnson Wants YOU

... to watch some hockey in the afternoon. Team USA (and Jack Johnson) take on Switzerland today in their first Olympic Hockey game. This is a dangerous game. The Swiss upset both Canada and the Czechs in the last Olympic games.

You can watch the game on the USA network starting in about 20 minutes.

Edit #1: USA leads 1-0 after the first period. Late goal by Bobby Ryan (Ducks) after a sloppy opening. For a country that loves hockey, there sure are a lot of Canadians dressed as empty seats in the arena. The Americans look like a bunch of NHL players thrown together rather than a olympic hockey team.

Edit #2: USA leads 3-0 after the second period. Controlled that period from start to finish. Former Sparty goalie Ryan Miller has really only had to make 3 or 4 saves. Team looks to be gaining confidence and this one looks to be well in hand.

Edit #3: USA wins 3-1. The Swiss played with a little more intensity in the 3rd period. It didn't matter. We didn't look bad for a team that has had exactly zero practices. Norway on Thursday and Canada on Sunday.
