The Canadians needed a shootout to beat the Swiss last night and the Russians lost to the Slovaks in the SO.Maybe the dream final might not yet happen.

Tonights the biggy Team Canadia take on Team USA, beers in the fridge chilling, cant wait

Canada goes into meltdown as the Yanks beat the Canucks

With the loss last night Canada are now scheduled to play the Russians in the QF's so the big final will not be happening.

USA/Finland Canada/Slovakia are the semi finals.I managed to predict 3 of the 4.I was dissapointed in the Russians but until they start developing better D men they aren't going to win the gold in the future.When Grebeshkov,Kalinen and Tyutin are 3 of your top D men then you know your in trouble.

It's USA/Canada in the final.I hope the Americans win as HNIC will be unbearable for the rest of the season if the Canucks win.You can bet that Cherry win up the 'Europeans are no good' rants that he does now that none made the final.

NHL season started again last night with the RedWings beating the Avs 3-2.12 games tonight and after ESPN changed their 360 service while the olympics were on I hope the ESPN Player works as good as 360 did.

....and things carry on pretty much as they were before the break. The Leafs lose 5-1 to the Canes

The trade deadline passed without any major name traded.I think if either Washington or the Blackhawks had traded for Roloson they'd have been my favourite for the cup but now I have my doubts that both teams N/M are good enough to win 16 games in the playoffs.

Just been to see the Avs v Panthers and I have now seen all 30 NHL teams play at the Pepsi .

Follow the NHL far less than I ought to, but I notice Chris Chelios is still playing. He's not far off 50!!

Ovechkin last night ended Brian Campbell's season after pushing him into the boards head first..Now will the NHL have the guts to suspend him for at least 5 games,i doubt it.
