Ha! My avatar is fitting. What a let down in 48 hours. 2 penalty shots by Kane and nothing?

JR has been nothing short of prophetic recently. Called the Finns and selanne. What do you know he opens the scoring. At this point it would be a monkey off the back just to score. 2-0 Finns after 2.

Still the US' best result outside of North America since the pros have come.

Finland, man. What else can be said? The tiniest hockey power is the most consistent.

Yup, most medals since the pros went to the Olympics.

Sundin goes to town on the Russians on the radio.

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=444379

I like Mats but this is pretty fucking funny. Nice to hear the honesty but maybe he should have checked his words a bit. It's like he completely forgot about the 2002 Olympics which featured a Canada-US final on Olympic-sized ice and one of the most spectacular choke jobs of all time.

Quote:
"I was almost disgusted by their performance when they played Finland," said the 43-year-old who played 18 seasons in the NHL. "I look at the Finnish team and they're missing key players. They don't have any of their big stars and now [Rask] is hurt and that Russian team is stacked with great players and to come out and have that performance they had in the quarterfinals. It was an absolutely heartless performance.


Quote:
Sundin thinks that an unfamiliarity with the larger ice surface is one of the main reasons why Canada's offence has yet to really click in Sochi, despite the team being undefeated.

"The last time the Olympics were around, the tournament was held on a smaller ice surface, an edge to the North American teams, no doubt," said Sundin. "The US and Canada were more comfortable. You look at the tournament right now, you can tell [Canada] is not as comfortable on the big ice surface...with the bigger ice surface, it becomes a little bit of a different game."

The all-time Leafs leader in points acknowledges that an adjustment needs to be made for North American teams playing on the big international ice.

GMG tomorrow at O Dark Stupid in the morning here on the West Coast. Going to watch live - want to watch at least one of the important team Canada games live from start to finish. :toot:

Watched USA/Finland this morning. Selanne was amazing - dude just keeps going and going and going... A little surprised at the final score - figured USA wouldn't be as motivated as the Fins but I expected a closer score.

I'm trying to help out CiB since he's stuck in Palm Springs with no way to watch the Gold Medal game. He has iTunes Canada which I guess doesn't allow you to download the NBC Olympics app, and so he was hoping I could email him the app from my machine once I synced my device with iTunes. But I can't find any sort of .exe file to send him on my computer. Anyone know if this is even possible?

On a side note, I had to uninstall/reinstall iTunes since I realized for the past few months now my desktop and iPhone weren't syncing. So I have Graham to thank for inadvertently pointing that out to me.

On another side note, iTunes can kiss my ass.

Nope not sure how that works. Too bad he didn't have the CBC Olympics App it's pretty good.
