Trying to decide if I want to get up and watch this or record it...only to watch in the evening while having some beers.

I debated the same thing. I would like to sleep in on my day off but I want to watch the game too. Right now I have it set to record and I plan to get up, avoid all news sources and watch the game.

Think I'm going to do the same. Have some errands to run, hit the grocery store, etc.... and should have no problem avoiding sources.

I am back folks. I was gone for a week for personal reasons but I do plan on being up for this game in the morning.

I will bring the bacon and eggs.

Quit your bitchin' and wake up for it.

Besides if you record it you know somehow you'll find out the score and you'll be pissed!

Russia names Sergei Bobrovsky starting goalie for the game. Making Olympics debut.

Bobrovsky plays for the Columbus Blue Jackets. He'll be replacing Semyon Varlamov who played in Russia's opening win against Slovenia and made 12 saves. Russia won 5-2.

Jonathan Quick (LA Kings) is confirmed to be the USA goalie for this game. Made 22 saves in the US 7-1 victory over Slovakia.

The first place team of this group will earn a bye into the quarter finals. So tonight's game does matter and expect both to play hard.

The last of the prelim games are this Sunday. USA vs. Slovenia. Russia vs. Slovakia.
