3 goals for Kessel and they can't give us one shot of his sister watching?

Nice play by Wheeler. ANd McD had time to dust it off and pick his spot top shelf. And the rout is on?

It's probably the least awkward one. It does look like someone just punched him in the face

The German commentator has been all over AO today, saying how he's only standing around on the PP, wondering if he maybe isn't all that great, not as good as he's said to be. I love it.

How'd this Slovenian team beat the Slovaks yesterday and now the Slovaks are still scoreless with the Russians?

I think they said he wore 39 at Michigan State.

39 is Miller's number. It's just that he can't wear it in Buffalo because Dominik Hasek...pittsports87 wrote:Why does Miller wear #39 for team USA? No one else on this team has #30.

I forgot about him, I looked up Buffalo Sabres retired numbers and didn't see it listed so that was a second thought.mikey287 wrote:39 is Miller's number.

I just turned it to ESPN 2 to watch some highlights... they lead with the Russian/USA game (surprising), and listening to them try to pronounce names... oh lawd.

Someone told Kessel before the Olympics started that every goal equaled one more cheeseburger. The guy is on fire right now, big tummy or not. Maybe he's chanelling Tim Thomas but I love it.

Re: The Official Olympic Hockey Thread

Haven't watched but guessing that Russia is the team having the letdown.

U.S. not great in the 1st period but did well to score early and begin consolidating that big win yesterday.

Meh, unless Slovenia pulls off a miracle Russia is locked into 2nd place. Still, a loss would be good for the lulz I guess.
