USA, not okay. You want a list of the things I'd put up my ass before I root for a team with Dustin Brown and David Backes on it?

Mini Ditka just got interested...

Except that you already know the US won.

Hopefully all the Hawks players shine like Toews, Kane, Keith and Seabrook did in the last Olympics.

USA plays at 6:30AM Thursday. I guess I'll be up early Thursday.

I wish there was some sort of device that allowed you to record television and then watch it at your leisure. Hopefully that device is invented in our lifetime.

You gays give a shit or you don't care until the Hawks start again? I'll try to catch what I can. I hope Russia doesn't even win a game for the laughs. I'm rooting for USA but I don't get all USA USA USA about it. I just want to see some entertaining hockey on a big stage. Hopefully all the Hawks players shine like Toews, Kane, Keith and Seabrook did in the last Olympics.

Yes those two are fuckheads. I take solace that Canada has Corey Perry and to me he more than makes up and exceeds the fuckhead factor of those two.

The USA/Finland Women's game is on replay on NBC Sports right now. I find this to be way more watchable than the WNBA.

NOT my work ... sourced elsewhere ... NHL vs. International (Olympic) hockey: OT and Shootout: Olympic OT is 4v4. In the Olympics, tied preliminary games have 5 minute OT. Non-gold medal tournament games have a 10 minute OT. The gold medal game features a full 20 minute OT. If the game remains tied, it is decided by a shootout. If the game remains tied after the first three shooters, any player can be chosen to shoot any number of times. Ice Size: A standard rink in North America is 200 feet long and 85 feet wide, with goal lines 11 feet from the end boards. Both venues feature rinks that are 60m by 30m(196.85ft by 98.4252ft). Goal lines are 13 feet from the end boards. The extra room can sometimes lead a team to play a more passive positional defense, angling attackers away from the goal rather than pursuing the puck carrier. Bench Strength: NHL teams can dress a maximum of 18 skaters and two goaltenders for a game. International games allow a maximum of 20 skaters and two goaltenders on each team. Goalies with the Puck: Under NHL rules, goaltenders cannot handle the puck behind the goal line, except in an area directly behind the net. Goaltenders in international hockey can play the puck anywhere behind the net. Icing: International hockey uses no touch icing. Protecting the Head: International hockey calls checking to the head as a minor penalty with a ten-minute misconduct, or a major (5 minute) penalty with a game misconduct. Penalty Shots: In the NHL, the player who was the victim of a foul must take the penalty shot, unless he is injured. When a penalty shot is called during international or Olympic hockey, any player on the shooting team, who was on the ice at the time of the infraction, may be selected to take it. Crease Violations: NHL players are allowed to stand in the goal crease as long as they don't interfere with the goaltender. International referees will blow the whistle and move the faceoff out of the attacking zone if an attacking player is standing in the crease. Fighting: NHL players are penalized five minutes for fighting. Players fighting in international or Olympic hockey receive a match penalty and are ejected from the game. Rules Against Obstruction: Since the NHL's crackdown on obstruction in 2005, some international tournaments have featured more hooking, holding and interference than an average NHL game. The international standard and NHL standard remain out of step. Faceoffs: In International rules, the attacking center must put their stick down first and the ref drops the puck after blowing the whistle and allowing for 15 seconds whether both players are ready or not. In NHL rules, the visiting center must put their stick to the ice first and the referee drops the puck when both players are ready. Goalie Takes a Puck to the Mask: In international hockey, should a hard shot hit the goalkeeper’s face mask while play is in progress, play shall be stopped immediately (an immediate and impending scoring opportunity shall be permitted before stopping play). Helmet Loss: In international hockey, if a player loses his helmet during game action, the player must go to the bench. Timeouts: In both versions each team has one 30 second timeout. The NHL has three 120 second commercial timeouts per period. The Olympics do no not have commercial timeouts. Tournament Format: Each team will play three games in the preliminary round to determine seeding for the next round. A team gets three points for a regulation win, two points for an overtime/shootout win, one point for an overtime/shootout loss, and no points for a regulation defeat. Four teams then will get a bye through the first playoff round: The best record in each of the three groups, as well as the best second-place team. The eight teams without a bye will face each other in single elimination. Finally, the four teams with byes and the four winners of the initial playoff rounds will be seeded in four quarterfinal match-ups. That will begin a single-elimination run to the gold medal, requiring three consecutive victories from that point.

I'll give you a hint, its the guy who started out as a top pairing defenseman and by the end of the tournament was firmly rooted to the Canadian bench.

Can't wait for this to start! For the USA the tourny starts Thursday with a date with Hossa and Slovakia. For Canada the tournament starts in about a week and a half when they play their first quarterfinal matchup. So far the story of the tournament is injuries. Several key players are out including Henrik Sedin and Mikou Koivu, both huge losses for their teams. Stamkos out for Canada, but was he ever really in? Filpula out as well. USA had their first practice today and Kane was on a line with Kesler and Dustin Brown as well as being on the top PP unit. USA definitely in the toughest group with Slovakia and then a date with the host country Russia on Saturday. Doesn't really matter since every team advances to the next round. Only thing they are playing for is group winners + next best team get first round byes straight to the quarters. Although USA is definitely at worst the 4th best team the fact that they are in such a tough group may stop the #2 team from that group getting the bye. All that said, far and away the best prelim game of the Olympics will be USA vs Canada women. Those two teams hate each other and had two brawls in recent games leading up to the Olympics.

Would really like to see Canada win. Outside of my obvious love for Toews, Sharp and Keith, there are also Getzlaf, Marleau and Bergeron that I would like to see win a medal. I know they are going to play Luongo, but with Smith being on fire, would have been interesting to see him start.

Only care about USA and Canada ladies having a gold medal match. All of the mens games will be good to watch, even if it is at 7 in the morning.

If the Blackhawks scheduled a press conference to announce the firing of Joel Quenneville, I bet you would watch that live.
