[Chris in Ga]

Even our emergency catcher can't walk, Mike Jacobs

[Chris in Ga]

Bet all you hockey fans can't wait for USA/Canada tonight.

I am looking forward to it. Actually, the whole day of mens hockey is probably the best rivalries of the whole tourney. Czechs vs Russians and Fins vs Sweds

[sheadenizen]

Chris, a friends sent me a video of her dogs out cavorting in 5 inches of snow. Who cares you say? It was in Atlanta last week.

[Lunkwill Fook]

We have people coming over to watch the games and we're making tons of food. Partay!

[sheadenizen]

Sounds fun, Lunk. Enjoy!

[Athena]

What are you cooking, Lunk?

[Chris in Ga]

Chris, a friends sent me a video of her dogs out cavorting in 5 inches of snow. Who cares you say? It was in Atlanta last week.

The weather has been so funky. We've doubled our annual avg snowfall with 6 inches of the white stuff. It is absolutely beautiful today.

[Chris in Ga]

I wish I had friends here who liked Hockey Here. All they want to talk about is nascar, nascar and nascar

[Bob A. Booey]

nascar,,, do they dale jr ????????????????????

[Lunkwill Fook]

Ummm.... some sort of polish cabbage noodle thing that I can't spell (sounds like HALL-OOOO-SKI) and stuffed green peppers. We also have wine and margaritas.

[Chris in Ga]

Most of my friends hate Dale Jr Booey

[Athena]

Sounds like very wintery food. Have a great time!

[Bob A. Booey]

tony stewart is kinda amusing ,,, who do u you likkee chris ???????????

[Chris in Ga]

I don't like Nascar but openly root for Juan Pablo Montoya cause it chaps the southerners ass that he is a top 12 driver

[Bob A. Booey]

ha ha h ha good for you man ......

[Lunkwill Fook]

Chris, are you watching ski cross? Apparently, it's going to be like snowboard cross. Four skiers racing on a track like the snowboarders. That's going to be crazy.

[Lunkwill Fook]

By the way, Tore Vikingstad is the coolest name for a Norwegian ever.

[Chris in Ga]

Chris, are you watching ski cross? Apparently, it's going to be like snowboard cross. Four skiers racing on a track like the snowboarders. That's going to be crazy.

It is. Cool

[Chris in Ga]

American Tim Burke from the United States. Good Job Al

[Chris in Ga]

Did refugees die?

[Chris in Ga]

Kevin Kernan of the New York Post says Jon Niese is ahead of schedule, and leads the race for the fifth starter spot in the rotation.

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Go Czechs, USA, Swedes!

[Chris in Ga]

Haha

[Tim]

Haha

thta's what ya get for cropping your dogs ears..

[DL]

looks like the barajas signing took down fugees

[Chris in Ga]

Kevin Kernan of the New York Post says Jerry Manuel is impressed with prospect Jennry Mejia, and he could be a possibility for the bullpen in an eighth inning role as Manuel said that spot in the bullpen is wide open right now.

…i was really excited to see Mejia yesterday, and i was even more impressed with his electric stuff he displayed…he was very wild during the winter leagues this year and he is still SO young…i wouldn’t be surprised to see him go north with the team in april, but i just think it’s too soon for him and they should be a little more conservative in their approach with this kid, because he is a special talent…

Jerry's got a crush

[DL]

oh god no jerry

[Tim]

ovie is such a pest....

[peejay]

ovie is such a pest....

as much as i want czechs to win, that hit on jagr was awesome.

Russia ran around a bit in their this afternoon, but they were the better team. Good appetizer before the main course tonight!

[peejay]

4-2. empty netter. game ovie

[peejay]

would have enjoyed watching the czechs take a run at ovechkin after that hit on jagr.

not a dirty hit, but it is still nice to make a statement.

[DL]

i assume you are all talking about the usa curling match on right now

[peejay]

another white jersey for usa. different from the one with the blue shoulders. they look so much like the Rangers that Marty Brodeur will be looking for Avery!

[Squadron Nye]

i assume you are all talking about the usa curling match on right now

nah I was talking about the hockey game. USA curling are choking a bit--especially the women

[Squadron Nye]

Nice avatar, Nye!

:) thanks Athena!

[bcuster]

another white jersey for usa. different from the one with the blue shoulders. they look so much like the Rangers that Marty Brodeur will be looking for Avery!

there are lots of nice looking themes/motifs that can be done w/ red white blue. as long as i don't see pinstripes i am ok w/it :cool:

[sheadenizen]

custer...did you see my post the other day where I said that I just read a book where one of the main characters was from Mishawaka, Indiana. I thought to myself.....bet I'm one of the 18 people reading this book who actually ever heard of Mishawaka....lol!

[bcuster]

i am sorry but i did not see your post. i would've responded... what is the name of the book?

[Chris in Ga]

WWF's The Goon

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Devils colors, typical.

[Lunkwill Fook]

GEtting ready for the game (game time 7:40 EST by the way). The refereeing in the Czech/Russian game was horrible. It seemed like they WANTED the Russians in. And the recaps are annoying me because they're acting like Ovechkin was the key to the game. Aside from the big hit, he was pretty much invisible. GO USA!

[Chris in Ga]

It all comes down to this. I just wish that I knew it wouldnt start at 700 est

[bcuster]

Devils colors, typical.

"devils" that is such a pis-poor name for a team...

[bcuster]

It all comes down to this. I just wish that I knew it wouldnt start at 700 est

1940 EST

russia/usa gold
canananada bronze

[sheadenizen]

It was a book by Tami Hoag, custer. It's called "Guilty as Sin."

[Chris in Ga]

btw, without giving spoilers, the NBC nightly news had people look away at the results of some events airing in primetime on NBC. Then, they told everyone looking away, it was ok to look back. Then they showed an updated medal count, basically showing the result of the thing they were trying to hide

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Parise is not the most talented on the squad. Patrick Kane is.

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Hockey is Canada's game? Yeah, 1 gold in 60 years.

[Lunkwill Fook]

If you think so, custer. These last few games have actually shown to me that Team Russia isn't really that good.

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Or that Czech and Slovakia are better than people thought.

[sheadenizen]

Then they showed an updated medal count, basically showing the result of the thing they were trying to hide
Chris, I watch some aspect of the Olympics just about every night...and you know what? I know we lead in the medal count, but I don't have a clue what that count is. Seeing the medal count wouldn't have ruined anything for me, but you might be right. Maybe people are more aware than I.

[Lunkwill Fook]

Or that Czech and Slovakia are better than people thought.

Possibly but I don't buy it. Both Czech and Slovakia have talent but aren't deep. I think we're finding the same thing about Team Russia.

[Athena]

It was a book by Tami Hoag, custer. It's called "Guilty as Sin."

I've read that book!

[Lunkwill Fook]

GOAL!!!!!!

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

GOAL!!! USA!!! MAAAARRRTTTYYYYY

[Lunkwill Fook]

CROSBY SCORES!

[sheadenizen]

I've read that book!

Do you remember that one of the characters was from mishawaka, indiana. don't ask me which one....I forget already. I think it was the guy brooks who writes the real life crime books.

[Lunkwill Fook]

Okay, gotta get back to the partay. Later all.

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

That wasn't a penalty on the hit on Langenbrunner?

[sheadenizen]

Lunk, please dont tell me Rainey is rooting for Crosby! :(

[Chris in Ga]

FUDGE

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Damn it

[Chris in Ga]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Hahaha MAAARRRTTTTYYY again, GOAL USA!!!

[John]

USA >>>>>> Canada

Canada is overrated :)

[peejay]

rafalski's goals just sliding on the ice. brodeur is weak, finish him!

[Chris in Ga]

This is the kind of excitement we'll eventually see in the World Baseball Classic, Right?

[John]

I dont watch hockey but being outshot 11-5 cant be good right? lol

[peejay]

canada is flying, but miller is playing well thus far

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Usually not, but goalies can have a tremendous effect on the balance of power.

[Squadron Nye]

we sent the rangers to play the entire nation of Canada?!?

[DL]

i know this hockey game is exciting and all but

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Take a lead into the room, good job. Great job by Miller.

[Chris in Ga]

David looks ripped. Too bad his problem was catching up to fastballs

[Squadron Nye]

i know this hockey game is exciting and all but



.

[John]

Once the winter games are over, its full speed ahead on baseball :)

I can't believe spring training games start in like a week lol

[DL]

what about uk's run for the title

[Chris in Ga]

For the first time, in a quarter century, Arizona won't be in the tourney

[DL]

eh, the pac-10 tournament is wide open

i'm still worried the terps and big red both won't make it, though

[John]

what about uk's run for the title

I know I shouldnt complain because we are 26-1 but I'm concerned.

We aren't shooting the ball well at all and it seems like Cousins and Bledsoe get rattled easily.

If we werent such a great rebounding team, we'd be in deep trouble

[John]

we also are starting to shoot free throws like a cal coached team lol

[John]

mens curling lost again.......they are finished

if the us women don't win 3 in a row they are finished too lol

[Chris in Ga]

Curling is cat nip for bored people

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Erik Johnson is a stud D

[Chris in Ga]

Darn 2-2

[peejay]

tied up. usa needs to step up again. canada is dominating everything but the scoreboard

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Shit, too much play in the us end

[Chris in Ga]

Gotta get Ryan Miller to a better TV Market

[bcuster]

i have seen hockey on every level from peewee to hs to juniors to ncaa to nhl. i have never seen as exciting a period of hockey as that!

GO USA USA USA!



and ps: f' brodeur!

[Athena]

Do you remember that one of the characters was from mishawaka, indiana. don't ask me which one....I forget already. I think it was the guy brooks who writes the real life crime books.

I remember it but only vaguely, Shea. I read that book when it was originally published. That was probably more than a dozen years ago. But Mishawaka is familiar and I didn't know that Custer lived there. So maybe it's in my brain from the novel! :)

[Bob A. Booey]

good call custy ,,, great period there ,,,

[Athena]

i know this hockey game is exciting and all but



Wow, DL. I don't think he's every looked so good. Our little boy is growing up! ;)

[sheadenizen]

Absolutely, Chris. I never heard of him....not that I'm the arbiter of who's good or who's not. Maybe the isles should trade RDP for him....lol!

[John]

Is David on steriods? lol

[bcuster]

USA!

[Udamn]

Who does Ryan Miller play for in real life? I forget.

Ryan Miller, USA

[sheadenizen]

The Miracle on Dirt? Never gets old (just kidding).

[DL]

hopefully we got the supersteroid philly's had the last few years

[John]

after watching US.........I think I can beat most of them and make the 2014 games lol

[sheadenizen]

Did you all hear that story about Toyota they just headlined on MSNBC? oy vey for Toyota.

[sheadenizen]

John, I always wanted to know someone in the Olympics. Do it. I promise I'll root for you! And you'll get a trip to Russia

[peejay]

canada is gonna really press in the third period. they need two goals, we can play for the tie.

although it is in our interest to play devils style hockey, but i'd like to see more wide open hockey.

[Squadron Nye]

I'll start a club with you Johnny..

[Bob A. Booey]

Did you all hear that story about Toyota they just headlined on MSNBC? oy vey for Toyota. nope wht was it ????

[John]

I mean I figure......it's a game of angles.......you don't have to be big or strong.......thats the perfect sport for me lol.

Bowling would have been the first choice lol.

Which makes me wonder how come they don't have bowling in the games lol

[sheadenizen]

I don't know what that last sentence means pj, but go USA!

[Squadron Nye]

all the massholes would complain it's not candle pin

[John]

I'll start a club with you Johnny..

Sounds good because I think finding 4 people to join might be the hardest part lol.

I actually checked........the closest Curling thing by me is Columbus OH lol. There's plenty in NY from what I hear tho lol.

[Squadron Nye]

downstate? I did a cursory search and couldn't find one within the five boroughs

[sheadenizen]

nope wht was it ????
They now have documentation from Toyata from a few years back where they're patting themselves on the back for paying off the gov't so they didn't have to do a major recall knowing how dangerous it was. Uh oh!

[Bob A. Booey]

scmbgs,,,,,,

[Chris in Ga]

I hope they are more organized this power play

[sheadenizen]

scmbgs,,,,,,
on both ends...Toyata for paying the hush money and whoever in the US gov't took it.

[peejay]

sorry shea!

translation: canada will have to take risks to try and score. because they tied the swiss (win in a shootout), the canadians need a win vs usa to win the group. usa has two wins and can win the group with a tie

[Squadron Nye]

i wanna see some tears in the stands if the canadians lose this one.

[peejay]

hat trick?

[Chris in Ga]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs
