Canada gets the first PP . . . Weight off for hooking.

Those uniforms are really ugly.  What's up with "Canada" on the back?  How about a name.  Duh.

Is that JR in the booth?  What an idiot.

OK, we've got Crazy Ron, Halpern, Kono, and Klee.  This is eerie. 

JR: "Pete Rose....God bless 'em".  Huh?

JR: "I make small bets....$3000 here, $2000 there". 

RW better pull his 3-D out, or his team's gonna be done by the end of the 2nd. Esche has been stellar to keep the puck out at least 3 more times.

Canada looks prepared and in shape, USA looks.... rusty, and like they haven't played much together (maybe they think they're the Olympic basketball team).

At JR's salary, that is a small bet, for him. I've bet $200 on one race at the track (horses) several times (and even won on a couple of them), and I make less than $35K per annum.

Don't bet the rent or the gas money, ain't nobody's business if I do (little Bessie Smith reference there for the geezers).

 

Yep, if it wasn't for Esche, the USA would be toast.  Team USA looks really slow.

USA no SOGs on that PP either. Bad crackers for the SOBs (that's South of the Borders).......

JR made the point that US came out with a fresh sheet of ice and a PP, and got zip.

Canada back on the PP now....

And scored just as I hit post. 2-0.

oh my Sackic scores 2:0 Canada

US now over 14:00 without a SOG, according to the announcers.....

This is almost as bad as watching the Caps....except Olie would have given up 5 goals by now.

I get home from work and flick on the TV and I see the Nashville Preds and their jersey's.
Not happy with those Canuck uni's !

Guerin from the right wing dot . . . 2-1

2-1! Guerin baffles Brodeur with a classic glove side shot.

Lemeiux had been "resting" with the Canadians up by 2, but now he's taking another shift.

I half expect Lemieux to be spirited to the ice by eunuchs in a sedan chair at the start of periods.

Guerin.... "Fuckin' bullshit!!!!"  as Canada ends up with a PP out of all this.

End of a very entertaining period.  You'd think these guys wanted to win this game.

Looks like Halpie's gunning for Brodeur.  Just charging right for him.  Heh heh heh...

USA running out of time, with 8:00 left 3rd. Pretty even period.

Last minute.
still 2-1.

gotta love those quick whistles.

game over
2-1

tonight on the CBC there is a special on future Cappy ...Sidney Crosby.
Lastnight they had a special on the .........hockey STICK !
I think it may have been an hour long show.

One other thing.
I could not tell one player from another on Canada with them wearing those uni's .
Didn't like those uni's.
