Bronze Medal Game: #4 Finland vs. #7 Slovakia 10:00 (MSNBC - Kenny Albert and Joe Micheletti)
I will be in Washington DC tomorrow, returning right around the start of game, give or take an hour or so. And when I do get back, I will have to deal with the fun of switching between the Villanova and Syracuse game, which starts at 9:00.
The Finns got their asses whooped by the States in a bloodbath first period and Slovakia played like zombies for two periods only to wake up in the 3rd and nearly send Team Canada to overtime. In fact, if Demitra did not miss an open net, there is a chance Canada could be meeting the Finland in this game. But it's Finland and Slovakia and even if my return time is unknown, you should still do it to it in the comments section.
I'm back!
ReplyDeleteNova is losing by 10 at the half after leading by 6 not to long ago. Boo.

ReplyDeleteSlovakia has never gotten an olympic medal in a team sport? Ever?
That's surprising.
Yeah this would be a surprise bronze.
ReplyDeleteCanada just clinched most gold medals for the Olympics. They owned the podium!
Meanwhile the US is owning silver and bronze!
Okay NBC I'm sick of Lindsey Vonn. Enough!
ReplyDelete@ SSR: No They just owned the top of the podium. The U.S. owned the rest of it. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYeah but we're the only country that goes by total medal count. We should win that every Olympics. ;-)
ReplyDelete13 gold > 14 silver and 13 bronze in value. At least that's what the markets read...
You mean to say that Jamaica has no business winning the most gold medals in the winter Olympics? ;-)
ReplyDeleteIn all seriousness though, I would take the 13 gold over the 14 silver and 13 bronze in a heartbeat.

ReplyDeleteAm I a bad person for finding amusement in Captain Janks' prank calls of serious news coverages? He got a Hawaii affiliate today.
ReplyDeleteHey, if they are dumb enough to not screen well enough and let him through......
@ SSR: He is no where near as good as Miller though.
ReplyDeleteSeriously these call screeners are just bad at their jobs.

And now in news sure to disturb Flyers fans greatly: Lasse Kukkonen has an Olympic medal.
ReplyDelete4 current Flyers (Timonen, Richards, Pronger, Bartulis) went to this year's Olympics and 3 of them are going to walk away with medals (Timonen, Richards, Pronger). We are quite an economical bunch when it comes to the Olympics.
