They are a scary, scary team. No holes.

Wait wait wait, did that NBC commercial really just happen?

You missed out, man. There was drama. There was hilarity*. There was epic. There was awesome. *A goalie's worst nightmare: Staring down Datsyuk/Kovalchuk in a shootout over and over and over and over again. At the Olympics. In Russia. Oshie should get a gold medal right now for that individual performance. And I loved that he looked to his 'tender immediately after he scored the winner. So much win in this kid.

That. Was awesome.

So, the shootout is kind of a big deal outside the NHL, right? Like, internationally? It's been a staple of Olympic hockey for ages right?

Same. But, y'know.

Shootout.

I said the same. exact. thing.

I'm pulling for Patrick Kane. I'm going to Hell.

Wait, it's five minutes? My bad again.

Good on Russia for not getting down about the no-goal. Good body language and such. 10 and a shootout, I believe. Man, the Russia jersey even has the red feathers.

I must've misread the replay. Looked like he knocked the net off, quite possibly on purpose. My bad?

This is scary-close.

Wait, isn't that like the oldest bush league trick in the book, knocking the net off?

OMG, they're calling it no goal. High stick?

That Datsyuk guy is pretty good.

To be clear, I mean re: being happy for Datsyuk.

Kinda conflicted, not gonna lie.

I love Brown, but he's gotta keep his cool, know the zebras have eyes on him.

I like our team.

What a pass by Kane. Gorgeous.

BOO YEAH!

So...JVR wasn't interfered with...but Brown, that's interference? Really?

Agreed. You have a bad back. It's screaming bloody murder for some rest and relaxation. You've been putting it through hell because you're the effing captain of the Detroit Red Wings. But now the NHL's going on a two-week vacation. So, you can give your back some much-needed rest and relaxation...or you can fly over to Russia and play in the Olympics. Like, I get wanting/needing to play in the Olympics. I'm not faulting Z for that at all. He pretty much had an obligation to go and represent and lead and push himself as hard as humanly possible. What I honestly don't get is how so many intelligent people can not see how two weeks of rest might be better for Z's back than playing in the Olympics, in Russia. "Yeah, well, he was just gonna get hurt anyway" doesn't strike me as a terribly strong counterargument, because, again, why even take maintenance days?
