Partition Free
Better hide the children. The zamboni is rambling yet again! The latest targets: Whales, Charlie Sheen, a young goalie on the Washington Capitals and the retirement of a gold medalist. Best of all, there's nothing about head shots. - ER

WJC Final: Russia 5 Canada 3
The collapse is complete.
The blunder in Buffalo.
From Russia with puck.
No explanation needed. Canada took their foot off the gas.
Look at the bright side: Canada gets a nice, shiny silver medal.
And remember, it's just a hockey game and it's a beautiful planet.

Re. Canada 3 USA 2
My oh my. Sometimes you're lucky, sometimes you're not. Yesterday, luck was on Canada's side.
To be honest, the winning goal caught me off guard. It happened so fast. I think there were a few people (like the CTV cameraman) who were also caught off guard. Nevertheless, Syd banked it in and Canada wins the gold.
This game could've gone either way. Full credit to the Americans. No one expected this from them. They played a great game and this is only the beginning for USA Hockey. Ryan Miller was outstanding. Despite the loss, he was the best player in this tournament.
As for Canada....what more can one say. Sydney Crosby didn't register a point in nine periods and no one will remember that. From this point forward, people will talk about Crosby's goal. Hopefully, we'll also talk about the contributions from Luongo, Towes and Getzlaf, who worked their tails off for our country.

Re. Canada 3 Slovakia 2
Yes, a rare Saturday post. I figure if Lloyd Robertson will do newscasts on the weekends during the Olympics, then I'm more than allowed to make a weekend post.
What happened in the third period cannot happen on Sunday. Seriously, my heart rate nearly hit 200bpm during the final minute. Canada took their foot off the accelerator and it nearly cost them. At this point in the tournament, you must floor it!
One thing we know for certain: Jaro Halak is going to make some sweet coin this summer.
Keys for Sunday: Create traffic in front of the net and aim high. That's the only way Canada is going to beat Ryan Miller and the USA.
Enjoy the game.

Re. Canada 2 USA 0
The Oilers of the 80's, the Habs of the 50's-70's, the Canadian Women's Hockey Team.
When reflecting on the history of hockey, we place an emphasis on dynasties. As far as I'm concerned, the women's hockey team must be included in that category. 3x gold medal champions. How many teams/countries could pull that off? Very few. I think even the US Dream Team didn't pull that off.
This team is very special. While we all focus on the men, I hope we take a moment and recognize just how lucky we are to witness this legendary team in action.
One other thing: If I was running the Hockey Hall of Fame, Hailey Wickenheiser would be a shoo-in. Forget the 3-year waiting period. She's deserves to be there. Gretzky, Lemieux, Wickenheiser.
