How is Russia this bad? Seriously... they have been truly awful in all but 1 game. Inexcusable for the amount of talent on that team.

They just don't know how to play as a team, if you can even call them that. It's a roster full of very very talented players who skate around and try to do everything themselves. Egos on that team got in the way.

Apparently Malkin had to tell the coach himself to change goalies.

I watched some of the skiing and snowboarding competitions on NBC last night. That "snow" was a nightmare! Some reporter did a report on it and the snow by itself would just collapse into nothing. The snow/salt mix ended up like concrete. He said they have to hope they guess right on the proper mix. But then you had this downpour that some had to contend with as well and there was a lot of fog too. Don't think Sochi is going to go down well in the annals of Olympic history. #SochiProblems

I guess the Russian's didn't Putin enough goals!

They normally light up the roof of the hockey venue with the scores. Not this time.

They were facing Tuuka Rask though. Whuddayagonna do. Dude's a wall.

As an inveterate, unrepentant and incorrigible punster I give you the highest award:

MOAN!!!

Thank you. I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waiters and waitresses.

Thank you. I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waiters and waitresses.

Is there a cover charge AND a two drink minimum?

Tipping percentage depends on it.

Many, many years ago I was in NYC. My brother graciously picked up the tab for dinner at Toots Shor's or some other snooty restaurant in Manhattan. I picked up the tab for the four of us at Caroline's, maybe an hour or hour and a half total.

He got the better end of the deal. The cover charges, drink minimums and drink prices killed me.

To top it all off, at Toots a wait person at the table next to us somehow got a Ketchup/Catsup to explode. I thought I'd been "hit," but the waiter assured me that I wasn't.

When I finally got back to my brother's house I saw that the bottom of my suit's right pant leg was coated in red. Between the cost of Caroline's and the dry cleaner I clearly lost the over/under.

I've not bought a suit with cuffs since.

That latvian goalie played outstanding. He must have had 55 saves. A friendly reminder that games are played on the ice no matter who is on it.

Have a bad feeling Canada is due for a breakout game.

Lets go USA! Screw our little sisters of the north

I'm ready to bet that the average Canadian male is more hairy than the average American one. That makes you the little sisters. We live in wooden houses, we wear plaid shirts and we chop woods god darn it.

I'm willing to bet the same thing when it comes to your women.

I guess it depends where you go, but from my experience the average Canadian woman >>> better looking than the average American one. Not insulting, just an honest observation here.

So there’s this Brunette at school. She is good looking, great personality, down to earth, damn near perfect. Only problem is she sits right next to the drop dead gorgeous Blonde, that EVERYONE is in love with, in every single class, so no one notices or even cares about our sad little Brunette…


That’s Canada.

Pamela Anderson was a good looking blonde. Just saying.
