USA thru to medal round in hockey

I don't mind the no touch icing, kind of tired of seeing guys getting near killed when they go back for the puck.

Don't forget that the main reason the games are so good is you have the very best players in the world out there. It would be great if we had 30 teams with the talent base of these top teams. As long as you have to fill out your lineup with plumbers you're going to trap, clutch, grab and get crappy penalties. It's a shame but true.

Personally I was surprised with the Russian effort, I know what you're saying but they usually have a bigger interest in the Olympics than maybe they do in a Stanley Cup. I was especially surprised that OV didn't have a better game, he's one Russian that does play with heart.

Well, let's hope we both get through and then have a barn burner in the final :-D
