Re-read my original post, I clearly stated that I'm at work and not watching the game. Which is why I asked if the guys were there to cheer on the women's teams. I legitimately wanted to know because I can't see it.

But you're ok with someone saying that men's hockey is "the one that matters". You've got some pretty mixed up priorities.

I'm at work so I can't watch this game, are any of the members of either men's team there to cheer on the women's teams? I think it would be really cool if the guys showed up for a little solidarity.

Wow, apparently people are still wildly sexist in Canada. Tell me why men's activities "matter" more than women's again? Someone beat me to it.

One would think you'd be a little quicker to pick up on something so tongue-in-cheek given your obvious affinity for snide derision. Having an off day?

It's almost like that was the point.

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord, he is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored, he has loosed the fateful lightening of His terrible swift sword, his truth is marching on. Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on.

Ok fellas, I called the Canadian fans out yesterday for not being online during their close game and heavily implied that they were "hiding" from criticism until the game turned in their favor. To protect myself from similar criticism I have a few things to announce... 1) I took a half a day off from work tomorrow to watch this game. Because I have no responsibility I will be watching it in a bar and getting drunk (so I won't be on LGW). 2) However, because I took a lead part in hyping this matchup and participated heavily in the trash talk it's only fair that I be here to take my lumps if USA loses. 3) So...in the pursuit of fairness, I will be on LGW the second I get home to be taunted endlessly by you Canadian Scallywags in the event of an unlikely American loss. 4) God help you if/when we win.

I'm so excited for this game I can't even talk s***. It's on my mind about every ten minutes. Most recently David Backes won the game all by himself...not figuratively, literally. I was literally imagining David Backes playing Canada by himself. Needless to say, pretty pumped.

Made all the more impressive by the fact that the general manager is on the other side of the globe.

Yeah any defense that relies on Smith, Kindl, Quincey, to fill out their second pair will not be "fine".

One bright spot for Russia was Tarasenko. Kid played good. He's the real deal.

This is strange, there are hardly any Team Canada fans on the board right now. I wonder why?

Didn't Cody Franson only sign a one year deal this year?

That will be one hell of a goalie duel for sure.

God bless you for that.

I can't even watch this game, and every website I visit to get real time updates is either terrible (ESPN), incomplete (TSN), or timing out (everyone else). This is absolutely killing me. It's like they didn't have four years to prepare for these games or something.

He's so hot right now.

Inglorious Backes strikes again. Heck of a tourney for him so far.

Not as ugly as Alexander Radulov's ugly face...zing!

How did Latvia get on the board? That seems unlikely and confusing.

What the hell just happened?

Can't believe I'm missing this game right now. JVR scoring already eh? Not too shabby. I wish I could at least find it on the freaking radio.

Only if Carolina retains about 50% of that salary. He gets paid A LOT for his meager NHL production. And he's hurt all the time. But I do like how feisty he is though...dude hits everything.

He's really good internationally, that's for sure. He's like the Finnish Rick Nash.
