The Russia - Slovenia game is a much closer game than I thought it would be. At least so far.

Yeah, he did. I was listening to Madden last week and he had Rossi on to discuss the Olympics.

Only blemish on this game is Coach Dan's crooked tie.

Believe it or not, I prefer watching hockey at night. Not getting much work done today.

How could Rossi possibly think a team with the great Tomas Surovy getting minutes would be good enough to win the Gold

I'm rooting for the US first of course then

Russia for Geno to win in his home country

then the Fins

I said rooting, not who I think will win. I wouldn't even mind Sweden winning. Sorry Sid and Kuny , I'm rooting against Canada. They've won too much recently :lol:
