Toxic paint in the visitors dressing room?

we had the lucky loonie and they buried waste from chernobyl in the visitors dressing room

best part is our coaching, I honestly dont think any team has better coaching than Canada.

Yeah, Babcock is about as good as you can get, but I really like Disco as well, then again I'm bias

i think the key coach is Hitchcock ... he pretty much plans all the strategy ... has done it since salt lake

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Can't find a pic in his new jersey yet, so this will do.

But you know i'm USA all the way!

It works Johnny, I think he'll be Norway's bright light in these games. If there's a highlight involving team Norway, Zuccarello will probably be in the mix.

True true, he is the glue.

Of course, I mean the 2010 games is where he made a name for himself and we caught eye of it. Glad we did though, great decision. Love our scouting.

Feb 14th, Maatta & team Finland take on Zuccarello & Norway. I gotta feeling we'll both be updating our profile pics that day.

Probably, and you know how much I love Maatta!

He's very likable!

I actually like team Switzerland better than team Czech Republic in this tournament, mainly because of goaltending.

The more I look at the rosters, the more I think Sweden will win it tho.

I want more people to predict the USA to fail, that way victory will taste so much sweeter when we win Gold!

Half the league tried to sign him, I'm not sure there's anything unique about the Rangers' scouts there

I'm just saying I know we have heavy scouting overseas, we were looking at him before the games, but those games really helped.

Can't blame him for choosing NY though

Will it taste equally as bitter if you don't?

Wont know, wont happen

Let me be a cocky and confident USA fan! Haha

Go right ahead. Gotta believe

Thanks!

Nobody will beat us!

Starts Thursday with a strong outing against Slovakia.

Is that even a question? Hah. Babs is the best of the best, and will stay that way until someone proves otherwise. Blysma could challenge him one day, but he'd need a good run (aka Gold-Cup this year...that'd start his road to getting close to Babs). Also, DB has to get consistency to be even close. Possible, way down the line.

Wakin' up early for the USA/CAN women's game. US has looked simply dominant, but we all know it's about these two in the women's game. Gotta say, the women's game has gotten much better in the past 12 years. It's enjoyable to watch (not always the case). Some sick goals.
