Looking forward to it...hopefully they'll have time to have someone else take Kovy's spot after his dick falls off (as per the curse I put on him).

And copious amounts of wodka...

And Ukranian prostitutes

This made me laugh far too heartily.

So that's what a tipsy Elmer sounds like...

If Bob missteps, Russia doesn't have much between the pipes as far as I can tell. Pretty thin on the blueline, too. That forward core has a lot of skill, though.

I could see them finishing off the podium, though, to be honest, and I can't see them winning gold.

Pavel Datsyuk named captain of Team Russia (kinda surprised OV didn't get the nod after carrying the Olympic torch and all).

as respected, responsible and disciplined as Datsyuk is, I dont see him being capable of reigning in this gang of merry vodkaholics

It's to bad this team plays like individuals now instead of the way they did as the USSR. Those teams were unbelivable. They controlled the puck like nobody's business. It was a nightmare for other countries to play against them. They gave the Best Canada had to offer all they could handle.

JENGUI!!! I count 7 Alex and 4 Evegny. Practice will be worst of nightmare.

This is a common North American mistake (I heard Mogilny incorrectly called "Alex" for years). Alexei is "Alex", Alexander is "Sasha".
