Good late morning everybody! It’s a great day. Why? Because today we have the men’s Olympic semifinals, because today a lot of us don’t have to work (unless you count shoveling snow as work), and so today we can sit on our abdelkaders and watch hockey!
I know that’s my deal. I was supposed to go see four basketball games. Instead I’m doing some interviews on the phone, writing something, shoveling, and watching hockey.
You all know the deal: USA-Finland at 3 on NBC; Slovakia-Canada at 9:30 on CNBC. Losers play for the Bronze on Sunday. Winners play for the Gold on Sunday.
——————————————————
So how much snow did youse get? We got a good 6-8, and it’s still coming down pretty hard.
——————————————————
We’re also getting closer to resuming the NHL season. Check out the Rangers’ site for some news, and some Olympic-related features. On there is video of Michael Del Zotto’s meeting with the press yesterday. Del Zotto said he expects to get his stitches out this weekend, and that once he does he will go for a little spin on the ice to see how it feels before determining when he can really begin skating again. He sounds optimistic about playing in Ottawa Tuesday, but there’s no way to say when he can or will play for certain.
——————————————————-
Finally, if you experience any tech troubles today, please e-mail me at rcarpini@lohud.com. We’re still trying to get this thing percolating at 100 percent, especially as we steamroll toward Glen Sather’s Rent-A-Vet Festival.

sow day blow day,weee!!!
SNOW dangit..
USA USA!!
hello?anyone??
Happy Semifinal Day Hockey Fans!!
Rick, Rent a Vet Festival is very clever. Hope now of you hurt your backs shoveling today!
now i need a fight for the carpiniello hat trick
Good morning, Carp!
Good morning, Sally!
6-8??? You’re so lucky Carp haha…I’m hopin it stops before we get to 20 for me
morg, you can fight that illiterate Islander troll who was here yesterday. I’ll break it up … eventually.
Hes not in my class,hes Carcillo to my Brashear,lol.
Jonny, somebody, anybody: Wasn’t there a Kesler character in Seinfeld?
Carp – Kessler was Kramer’s name in the original pilot. It was changed later
LI, thanks. That’s right. Kessler was an actual person, on whom the Kramer character was based. And when they first meet (I think in a flashback in the backward India-wedding episode), Jerry calls Kramer “Kessler.”
Yeah, supposedly Kramer’s name on his apartment mailbox said “Kessler” so that’s how Jerry got the name.
Proof that God wants us to watch hockey, Im loving this snow day so far we have a solid foot here in Western NY. Lets go USA and Slovakia!
actually the original real life kramer’s name WAS kramer
they wanted to change the name to kessler because larry david knew his old neighbor (the real kramer) would try to get money if they used his name
but seinfeld felt like kramer was a much better name for the character
so they named the character kramer
then the real kramer got cash compensation for using his name
he gets interviewed in the extra features on the seinfeld boxed sets
“Medal Day”... is this another “go time” jinx?
Someone’s getting the bubble. Oy.
Thanks, Rob.
True Fans, I believe if you go back and check, “It’s Go Time” has not been a jinx.
You can stuff your sorries in a sack, mister!
I am not feeling love for all of you who get to stay home. At least I can play here during the game this afternoon.
Go USAAAAAA
So Carp, what are the predictions for today?
I think 2-1 Finland…5-2 Canada
But I want USA/Canada again
I’m at work. Stayed over. I knew I wouldn’t be able to get in this am. Oh, well.. It doesn’t look like I’m making it for 3 pm either. Will have to count on you, boneheads.
Noah, I don’t know what that means.
NYRGuy, I think this game is going to be very difficult for the US. I expect Canada to coast.
Actually got the day off today ….rare for banks to close cause of the weather..I’m gonna enjoy watching the game
No days off in AZ – 75 degrees !
Tony, before this I liked you.
I’m at work. No snow where I am, luckily.
Working me tail off to ensure I can watch/ keep an eye on the US/Finland game.
I need a Ranger game – I need my NYR fix !
We’ve got about 25” in western Rockland while my son and daughters have over 30” in Monroe. Took me 3 hours to dig out and that was with a snowblower!
17”+ of snow and counting and my snowblower broke. Go USA.
Four days, Tony; hang in there!
I got $10 for shoveling. Eh, id rather have the cake.
Tony, you’re really pushing it here with your AZ weather updates. You may regret it in May when you come over. Don’t forget to bring your coat for CCCP to take care of. Wait, do you even own one? Sheeesh..
Orr, it’s getting more and more embarassing. Where do you live?
Orr, unemployed and you get 10 bucks for shoveling and you’d rather have cake? Ummkay…
I’m in Queens.
MICK
It’s only $10, id rather have some cake. It’s not like ill be able to walk to the store and get my own. Too icy.
I guess technically i unemployed, but i do have some jobs. Unofficial. I babysit, i run errands (not for the Mafia), and i sell pot to old people.
Just kidding aboot the pot. Maybe im kidding aboot the mafia, i don’t know. Actually, supposedly my dad’s girlfriends dad is in the mafia, and he asked me to go to the store to get him some soda, so i guess technically i did run an errand for the mafia.
Does that make me bad ? Eh, who cares, go USA !!
Storm was a bust here in Ocean County NJ (Jersey Shore area) 4 inches maybe. I definitely am not complaining.
I also need a Ranger fix.
Well, it must be noon somewhere… I’d prefer that Slovakia play Finland, but I’m OK with the US getting the silver. ;)
CHOPPER
That’s because the cast of the Jersey Shore leaked some of their hair gel, and it absorbed the snow.
Is it slippery at all ?
Orr, I was just joking, btw. :) But hey, it’s a tough economy out there, so however you can make money….
You are making me want cake, though.
I’d pay someone $10 to bring me cake.
USA for Gold baby! Let’s think positive thoughts here folks!
I want to see Canadians shattenkirk their pants when they see how we dominate the Fins!
is that a request laurel?
No snow here.
Of course, I’m in NC so that might have something to do with it.
Come on guys, we have about 2 ft of snow here and got 5” more today….
Not good for the soccer season….
Nice to see this site thriving. Carp, thanks for the comments on Kovalev on your last blog. I remember often wondering what made him tick back in 93-94. He was so talented but a bit of a wanderer at times. I remember Keenan trying to shake him up a lot, I guess to get him to think more about things. Keenan made Kovalev play at center, forcing him to stop his wandering around on the wing, and making him more responsible for himself and his line. I remember Keenan benching Kovalev, and there was also that night he was kept on the ice for several shifts. Although heavy-handed, I think Iron Mike succeeded with Alex where most other coaches would have failed. I’m in no way attributing Kovalev’s success solely to how he was wrangled by Keenan, but I think the hard line helped shape the then young Kovalev.
Anyways, I don’t know about anyone else, but I let out a sigh of relief when Sweden was eliminated from the tournament. With Hank out of the picture, it’s one less thing to worry about. Also, who DOESN’T want team USA to play Canada for the gold? Would Marty be back between the pipes? I would love to see him on his back looking behind himself into a net with a red light on…again and again and again.
good post billy
red lights and brodeur? sounds like family reunion ;-)
50th
Marty will not be in net unless the Canadians are getting blown out in an opening period.
The USA had a greater chance of beating Sweden than the did the Canadians, because the Swedes had struggled to score all tournement. At this point, the only team who could have stopped the Canadians were the Swedes and they’re gone. Oh well.
Ilb2001 , the weather is one of the reasons I moved here from Brooklyn.
I’ll be in NY at the end of March ( islander game). I forget, what’s the weather like in NY at the end of March ?
T minus one hour
Linda, that’s so weird! I was just wondering if you’d respond to that!
Mickey, thank heavens.
Tony, could be like AZ, could be like today…..
i wonder if Warren will allow me to bring in cookies hehehe
i think the only way Brodeur plays in a Gold medal game Sunday is if Luongo wins 7-5 or something ugly today.
I wonder why NBC went without Pierre in US-Canada? And if they will do it again?
PS, I love Eddie O … maybe because I know him. But like him or not, “Tremendously tremendous!” is now officially in the hockey lexicon.
carp, dont forget ‘happy humans’ also ;-)
Orr it is slippery but it gets even worse in the summer.
for those without a stream, MSN, on its home page, says you can watch ‘with one click’
Go Slovakia! Go Gaborik! H8 those canadian ducks Neidermeyer Getzlaf and Perry, bunch of punks and kings of the sucker punch.
and Go USA! Finland are a bunch of Ruutus!@
Was listening to penis head on the radio today, and he is mentioning players on the US as “Ryan Miller of the Buffalo Sabres” and “Jamie Langenbrunner and Zach Parise of the New Jersey Devils” and “Dustin Brown and some other dude of the Los Angeles Kings” and “Bobby Ryan of the Anaheim Ducks” and then he goes to mention Chris Drury and it went like this…
“Chris Drury who won a Stanley Cup with the Colorado Avalanche”
The loser could not even mention the Rangers, he is such a swine.
OY VEY USA! OY VEY ALL THE WAY!
the sad thing is, We have about 6 hours of TPCH and milbury today
“Chris Drury who won a Stanley Cup with the Colorado Avalanche”
The loser could not even mention the Rangers, he is such a swine.
.....
What’s there to mention? What did Drury win with the Rangers besides one of the best contracts in any sports history!
taps foot impatiently
LOL @ CCCP – “oy vey…” New chant for today’s game…
I just hope that Oli JOKE (of a Teek) ANEN doesn’t ruin my afternoon
Ruutuus and Kovius are about to get Byfuglien’d UP. I dont know if i’d call Russian players Eurotrash but why Nabokov wasnt pulled earlier in that game was shocking to me. IF the canuks go on to gold that will be the turning point in the tourny to me. “These colors dont run” baby USA
HOCKEY TIME!
HERE WE GO KIDS!!!!!!
Ummm… He could of simply stuck with he had been doing, and said “Chris Drury of the New York Rangers”...but he refused to even say Rangers.
LET’S GO USA! LGR!
Freaking Finland…last time they got to the finals…this time they are in semis… is Finish hockey that good, eh?
...i am still pretty biter about (see…i even lost my Canadian accent) Russia losing the game so bad!
Also, the video of Ovechkin grabbing some fan’s camera was total bush-league! WTF did SHE fan do? You should be mad at yourself not people around you tough guy!
Let’s Go EdZo, I mean, USA!
I’m being made to watch the governor of new york announce that he’s no longer running for re-election. shoot me, shoot me now.
CCCPzo and JBzo!!!
Patterson was never elected in the first place, Client #9 made sure of that.
Pierre mcquire in a moment
I hate that guy a lot
poor laurel
Wow, this is a busy site! Well, I thought I had my day planned out here being snowed-in and all, but now I think I will add hanging out around here.
CR9—”Was listening to penis head..”
Who?
and Dubiiiii, by calling the Finns Ruutus, you are actually calling them diamonds. That’s the translation from Finnish.
what else, what else…well, although I really want to see USA beat Canada for the Gold, I have to admit that I would actually like Canada to fall on their faces somehow and NOT medal. I just feel the Canadien fans don’t deserve to see their team win after how abusive they have been to the USA and other opponents in these games. In the curling, the crowd was rooting against the Americans and of course making all sorts of noise during the US turns. I mean, making that poor Danish girl cry in that curling match like that…she actually would have beaten Canada if she wasn’t distracted IMHO. I would like to think that if the games were here in the U.S. that we would show more class. Cheering for your team is one thing but purposely raising a ruckus to distract your teams opponents on the international stage is distasteful and not gentlemanly. Furthermore, early on in the competition, there was a lot of hype by the Canadiens that they would dominate the medals and beat the US overall…now I think they have changed their tune to beating US in Gold medals. Ha.
Alright the puck has dropped. USA! USA! USA!
Mama, That’s old new about Paterson, we knew that this morning. I wonder why you are just getting the coverage now..
USA! USA! USA! Keep me updated, boneheads
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Way to go Kessler
lmao reginald! that is exactly who she looked like!
Kiprusoff pulled a FATSO!
billybleedsblue
we ARE the busiest and we ARE the best(iest?)! Feel free to contribute!
What an absolute GIFT. Let’s NOT give it back!!! After his last show, that’s gotta be tough for Kip to give up a goal like that. Ha. Lots of time left…
lots of size, lots of bulk and a bad disposition sometimes… blah
almost…
so…how many of you on here root for Finland?
good call JBzo
Oh no – Pierre-head
Kessel I mean, he made that play.
I think Pierre didnt do that game because he forgot his red and white pom poms back at the hotel…...he found them again for last nights womens game…...such a homer….somebody has to remind him on march 1st that he is no longer on Pens paysheet….sick of his EDZO…....was always EddieO ….......shut up pierre and nice vest….
“Tremendously tremendous!” is spectacularly spectacular. That is the best line ever. Thanks edzo
our first TPCH sighting…blech
JB,how many edzos so far
Cause it’s his “official” press conference now :( there goes the first period. Keep me upated!
STFU, Paterson, then. Who cares about you
Mickey – the gov’s called a press conference so the stations are covering it…
Keep the updates cominh folks – no audio / video here at the office >.<

YEAH BABY! USA!
Too bad about Paterson; would have been fun watching him get his a** kicked in an actual election…
ilb, i told ya Malone got the first goal
Zach Attack!
::gags for saying that::
Mama, So sorry about that. Just GO AWAY, Paterson.
Gah, that means live coverage. I HATE live coverage.
power play USA ilb
Got it! Yeaaaaahh baby!
,,.sick of his EDZO
He’s already up to FIVE.
Let’s go boys. Let’s run the score up.
LI – agreed
Zach Attack ? From Saved by the Bell ?
CHOOO-CHOOO HERE COMES THE US TRAIN!
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo!
WHO’S YOUR DADDY !@!!!
3-0! Pull the goalie!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 3-0!!!!!!!!!!! power play goal
Johnson
3-0. It’s time to FINNISH them!
woooohoooooooo
CCCP, thanks for the welcome. I used to check this site out when it was Sam Weinman’s. I’m glad to see Carp taking over though, he had the best Rangers/hockey coverage in print in the tri-state area at one point years ago. I used to love his Rangers report cards. Anyways, whatever happened to Sam?
Team USA couldn’t have hoped for a better start to this match. Also, something about Selanne makes me nervous. He was just FLYING that last game. Hopefully this doesn’t turn into team-teemu.
Wow. That’s 3-0 now. Pull the goalie and call a timeout Finland! Wow.
mama is crying her eyes out !!!
THATS RIGHT FINBOYZ
HIT OUR GUY FROM BEHIND
SEAL YOUR FATE
Erik Johnson!!!
Send a message baby we want canada.
EJ all right!
Kipper getting pulled?
Wow… just wow….
hey AGZO!!!
KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANE
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 4-0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! holy crap!!
RUN. IT. UP.
Patrick Kane punch that card for the gold medal game
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE
Rock you like a hurried Kane! 4-0.
4-0 Looking like Slovakia will have to play US for the gold….
It’s finally on! just in time to see Kane….whee!
Chucky finally scores.
Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaane
and kipper pulls himself…yikes!
Same some for Sunday!
20 cent!
wow… just wow… wow… wow….
Kipru-soft!!!!!!
KANER!!
Has Cally seen the ice yet?
lmao @ 20 cent!
Can’t believe that I am missing this…
20 cent good one
LI can you watch online… msn is ‘one click to view’
Hahaha; 20-cent…. That’s terrific. :-)
Stupid job, I want to watch the game. At least I can watch the gold medal game on Sunday! GO USA!
Hopefully Cally can notch a goal in this score-fest to at least put himself on the books!
There’s Cally. :)
Now let’s just destroy this back up. Canada needs that kernel of doubt deeply seated within themselves and what we do to this FIN team will keep that kernel firmly planted if we can continue to punish this teams mistakes.
Lol, 20 cent
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH KID
You all have to know why the USA is up 4-0, right?
It’s because of the leadership of Boston Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas….j/k
Make that 5-0
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Now’s its 40 cent
CRAZY!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! 5-0 Kane again!!!!!! does that make him 40 cent???
CHILDS PLAY !!
If it wants you to install something, I can’t do it @ work. I will try…
20 cent 2o cent
I guess we won’t be seeing those white Rangers USA jerseys anymore?
High FIVE-ZERO.
they have been FINNISHED.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO STASTNY!!!!!!!!!!!! 6-0
THIS IS FUGGIN AWESOOOOOOOME !!!
good god, this is nuts
billy, thanks and welcome back. Sam went to work for Golf Digest.com :(
This is SICK!
This is a BLOWOUT.
LOOK how Kane sucked the mouthpiece back into his mouth, AS he was shooting that puck…
NO MERCY STASTNY. NO MERCY.
Is this unheard of? are they playing the pee-wee version of finland’s team???
SCX, Cally’s got an assist. It came early on, on a Drury goal.
SIX-NOTHING!! Langenbrunner!
Again
Linda – MSN attempts to install MS Silverlight – no can do here. Thanks anyway. :-)
6 0 and climbing…
holy carpazoli!!
INSANE!
opps, Stasny.
Unreal.
6-0 Finns look stunned. Like a duck hit on the head…
Gotta say, I have some work to do, so I’m glad I’m not going to miss a barn-burner if I work while I listen.
It’s time for Dirty Harry to get his.
linda, 40 cents, hah! like minds think alike
Mickey – Yeah, but I’d love for him to get a goal on top of his clutch assist. Maybe in the Gold Medal Game. That would be nice!

damn LI, that just sucks!! you could pay hockeystreams $6 when you get home to watch the archive if $6 isnt too much for a game.
Carp, where are you listening to the game? Online someplace?
cannot believe this score. 6-0!!! GO USA!
Don’t check my prediction earlier in the thread. Not even close.
Azz beating
I am guessing that Finland will have to do something to spark something, so a cheap shot from Jarkko Ruutu should come in this game, and If I guess correctly, it should be on Ryan Callahan or Chris Drury, as he saves his best hits for Rangers!
this is so crazy i lost Edzo count!
pj, I meant I’m listening to the TV while I’m working at my laptop.
BDW – thanks!!!
SCX, me too! I’d love to see Cally pot one.
Finland will get a mercy power play soon.
CR, they’ll just score on the PP again!
Carp… no one could have predicted this…
There is no Finish to this massacre! :P
Don’t worry, Linda; I’ll give you an EdZo update at the end of the period.
Damn I wish this was Canada!
this is so crazy i lost Edzo count
..........
Linda
you can now start counting how many times talking penis says word “MONUMENTAL”!!
LOL @ CCCP.
How are you, Ag?

Awesome CCCP!! i wonder what kind of satanic messages are heard when you listen to him backwards
US will definitely give Canada something to think abOOt!
I am well Carp and yourself.
I’m pretty good, Ag.
FYI, Rangers just send Ocho back to Hartford and recalled Miika Wiikman. It just means Wiikman will be the practice target and Chad Johnson will get some game action before Tuesday. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Ocho play in Ottawa.
is it wrong to hope we see TPCH get his skull crushed in with an errant shot??
Jokinen – save your scoring for next week!
Will join you for second period. WTF is going on? RYANS!!
This calls for some Ollie Jokinen photoshopping.
BDW – yeah I lost it; thanks for the new link.
Trivia:
Are there any NHL teams with no guys in the Olympics?
What NHL team has the most guys in the Olympics?
(I don’t know, I’m asking)
Captain Clutch facetime
what a crazy first period!!
End of the first.
That was kinda fun. Keep it going boys. Pedal to the medal
Best period of the Olympics ever!
End of first period
USA: 6
Finland: a big FAT 0
EdZo: 13
Salty, I think either Detroit or SJ has the most. None- I don’t know- Nashville?
nice to hear the USA is doing well at the moment.
keep it up boys!!
now, let’s go Slovakia!!!!
also
LINDA
i know i’m a little late on this but
i hope you’re daughter is doing fine after surgery.
DUH. Suter plays for Nashville facepalm
I’d love to know what’s going on right now in each locker room.
Nashville has some I think …
thanks jpg, she had a pretty bad day yesterday and i havent heard from her or my son in law since last night. She should be doing much better today though.
Nashville’s Weber is on Team Canada
salty
i thought of it too the other day… and i thought it was isls at first but then remembered Streit… maybe Atlanta?
Nashville has 6 I think
will the USA change the style they play with this big lead?go easy so as not to humiliate the Finns?.......i hope they keep the throttle pinned…we shall see.
My bad on Nashville, forgot about Suter and Weber and Rinna(I think he’s third-string for the Finns).
Florida?
Great period….just flat out great.
I love that Datsyuk shootout goal.
not Atlanta either… Afinogenov played for Russia…
I think 1 more high intensity period, then trap period 3.
great work JBytes!!
great period by Team USA. great work by Dustin Brown, he drew 2 penalties that they scored on, he was also in on other goals, as a decoy on the Kane goal. they of course still will face an uphill task against the hot Canadians, but they have at least clinched a silver, which is higher than most anyone gave them a chance for before the Olympics
Salty
http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100216164758AADAIjw
according to that, each team has at least one guy in the Olympics
I remember this anchor from when she was a local anchor up here in Albany. She was real good then, nice to see her on a national stage.
Lalala… don’t care about Paterson.
Sharks = 8 Olympians
Wings, Ducks and Canucks 7 each
Finnish hockey expert in swedish studio: “In Finland we have a good way to deal with this, we drink more vodka and get even more drunk”
Think that’s the only thing they can do. USA really good!
lol Swede!
ready for the next 20 minutes!!
I’m in. Is Finland that bad?
did he just say Salami???
Doc said salami!! HAHAHAH!!
Emrick called Selanne Salami agaaaain lol
Yeah, will be an interesting period and an exciting last couple of periods…. or not…
thanks JBzo, i thought i was hearing things!!!
USA USA
Nice find Lindzo
USA has been a real nice surprise. I personally did not think they would medal.
I’ll tell you, after last 36 hours I really didn’t need a nailbiter
Malone looks like he has some crazy tattoos under his gear
i thought someone would beat me to it Salty, glad i could help answer your question
i was just thinking that Salty, wonder what it is!
how many times can this guy say edzo jesus
PLEASE ! someone end Rutuu’s career !!
I HATE HIM !
Ruutzu is a zhopahole!
wow jokinen that was cheap, kane wasnt doin anything but watching
Good, a PP
STFU TPCH!! and yea Orrzo
lmao 2 and 10 on ruutu! awesome!
what a scumbag Pierre is.
The only time he mentions New York Rangers is to say that some guy on Chicago is going to go after Olli.
ANd he could barely spit out the words “New YOrk Rangers”.
He was stumbling over the words because he does his best to never mention them.
lmao CR!!!!!!!!!! i swear i was thinking that! he had to get crosbys hot dog out of his mouth next time
Kane’s looking a lot better this game. Offensively at least.
Agree, you can’t fight. Embarrass them
Finland can be chippy? Who knew…
“Ron Wilson talking to the Johnsons”
Haha, coming from his mouth, that makes me uncomfortable.
did anyone hear that???
after that play referee said “No penalty. You’re welcome”
Koivu took the net off the moorings and wasnt pushed in and ref gave him break
I can’t think of a current Finnish player that I like.
yo dont like Salami???
Puss Pierre’s favorite bean? Garbanzo!
LMAO
Shut up PIerre, you’re just saying that so it doesn’t seem like you’re bitter aboot not getting hired by the Wild.
Wasn’t he sucking up to their arena too ?
nah pierre was stumbling on saying rangers bc he had to remove sydney before he could say it
Kane will get what he’s after in this game. He’s on fire.
and I enjoy something about Jarko Ruutu.
Gleason has had a great tourney so far.
great minds reginald!
>>yo dont like Salami???
Hahahaha! Nope!
hobey baker…next llws…it would be hilarious if they mention his pizza
God they are just shutting them down.
oops… YOU JB!!
like does pierre REALLY have to say “edzo and doc” at the end of the sentence, who else would u be talking to? guy is a complete idiot
the thing to watch out for now is the cheap shots by guys like the Ruutus, and that brave chicken Jokinen
Hey, I haven’t seen any goals yet :(
ilb, you need to go back to work ;-)
And they got more upset over that little cheap shot by Olli than they did about Ruutu’s shot on Jagr.
In fact, Pierre was laughing about that hit at the time and was angry at Rucinksy or Straka for getting involved to defend Jagr.
now THAT was a great story Doc!
Shut up Emrick…no shutout so far for Miller. Damn Jinx
This dork HAD to bring up Canada, since he doesn’t do Canadian games with NBC.
A$$hole.
lmao i just love your name shattenkirkheadzo
And they got more upset over that little cheap shot by Olli than they did about Ruutu’s shot on Jagr.
.......
Why are you talking about something from 4 years ago… put your TV on mute… you obviously can’t handle it.
this freakin guy cannot get a full damned sentence out without tripping over his own tongue
CR
Yeah, cause Jags should have defended himself after his head was plastered to the boards.
I fuggin hate Pierre so much. Penis Skull !!
I was happy to see Straks step up. I think that doofus Malik should stood there like a moron.
Lindazo- I just realized there was another Reggie Dunlop. I thought good & hard about a new name. Reginald…my apologies!
Yeah Cally ! Send that loser into his own net !

When is goal medal game?
Pierre is a baldheaded dope. he wouldn’t even give the USA credit for playing great, he said it was the Finns playing lousy that was the whole reason.

Everyone on here complains about JR or Penishead or scumbag Bostonian!
Tell them to turn the tv on mute!
the casual fan must be sitting there wondering wth an edzo is
Bettman: so defensive.
Butzman- are you sure the team are going to decide?

You are still butthurt over something an announcer said 4 years ago. Stuff a rag in it.
lmao ilbzo
just think, barring a miracle here, Cally and Drury will come home with a medal. Drury I could care less about. But Cally with a medal gives me shivers. I’m SO happy for him
Salty
Are you aptly named for the tears you taste every time you whine about some big bad internet poster disagreeing with you!!
guys, guys!! come on, we’re 20 minutes away from going to MEDAL SUNDAY, a place not many thought we’d get to! Lets enjoy and fight starting Monday ;-)
Linda, check your fb in about 5 min.
Wow. Silver medal at minimum.
I can’t beleive I’m going to miss the gold medal game… oh well thats what dvr is for…
you got it 909!
Ryan Callahan, Olympic medalist… sooooooooooooo awesome! I’ll bust out crying when he gets his medal Sunday!
ilb, what story will I love? what did I miss??
notice that he had to emphasize “in all time zones” because on Wed they did not show the USA game live on the west coast and they got bombarded with thousands of complaints from angry fans. NBC sux, they pay hundreds of millions to televise the thing, and then they turn around and put popular games on non-HD little watched cable channels, and then put others on delay so they don’t miss a minute of crappy daytime soap operas and talk shows
Where’s Staal been? Havent seen him in a few days!
Linda, me too, me too. So proud of Cally :)
aaaaaaaaargh i keep forgetting I have HD!!!
TR, check your FB
No comments on that penalty. 20 cents could’ve gotten 2 for yapping
i think hooper and brody caught mako
oh man,if drury would’ve hit tpch with his stick, i’d have fallen out!
I guess we’re saving Dr. Clutch for Sunday?
Linda, can you tell mama the story? My dogs haven’t seen for almost 2 days, I’m typing with one finger.
Not to complain, but should there any concern that we haven’t scored in 25 minutes?
the wounded warrior one?
aka Dr. Mouthpiece
No no CR9… you are a special kind of poster that I can’t help but call out every opportunity I see, and with you, that’s pretty much every thing you say.
It still is making me smile that your boyfriend Jagr got sent back to the Kontinental where he’s more comfortable playing ‘Big Fish’ with the amateurs.
no concern blogmama we took our foot off the gas pedal that’s all.
Mama – I was just about to ask if anyone is noticing that the US is getting a bit sloppy…
6 should be enough to win the game today ;-)
US is getting a tad sloppy here.

It is always a sign of the intelligence of a person when they resort to homophobic insinuations.
If I were gay, I’d be proud of it. I happen to have a healthy respect and admiration for a man like Jagr, who brought relevant hockey back to New York.
Miller out, Thomas in. Nice move to give Miller some extra rest for Sunday
Hey, Salty and CR9, pull yourselves off the gas pedal, too, would ya…yeesh!
Boooooo! They are playing Tim Thomas. Booooooo!
lmao a friend of mine just said if Kane gets the hatty they should toss dimes on the ice ;-)
CR, you must be thrilled that drew carey is in net
jonathan quick should be in thomas is garbage
sorry, i was a bit slow on the uptake there
He’s gotta mention that Thomas won the Vezina.
Anybody can win the Vezina!
Jim Carey won a Vezina IIRC.
HEH. OK, all, I’m out since it’s nearly 5pm. Great game for Team USA. See you for Canada/Slovakia
the guy is not even currentlystarting for his own nhl team tell me how he should be in the net in the olympics…
Rangers need Rask to get hurt so there will be one less team to take up a playoff spot, bc if thomas plays the rest of the season he wont take them to the playoffs
Ryan Miller = 2nd fave goalie! great job by him all tournament long
Good job Ryan! I wish he was a Ranger, would boost the cutie quotient…
Ok, all, it’s time to end this week! I think it’s safe to walk away from this game….I’ll see ya’ll Sunday. Go USA!!!!

Correct me if I’m wrong, but it was you who ‘insinuated’ the other day that Jagr was a “beautiful man” who could turn any man gay, among other things.
You’ve made it painfully clear to the rest of us that he melts your bottom’s butter. You brought it on yourself.
Mama,
Enjoy your weekend!!
When the Rangers season starts up again, maybe you can try to get some new shots of Aves and his ripped abs to post!!!!
Salty, seriously, quit it with that stuff huh? mama’s asking nice…...
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Tim Thomas gives one up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Docs fault
kinda weak call, he had just gotten rid of thepuck
CR, did you destroy your TV???
argh, shut out would have been nice
So, McGuedZo did jinx the shutout after all.
CR9 and Salty- it sounds like your combined maturity level is at Linda’s new nephew’s. How old is he now, Linda?
CR, it would be my pleasure, seriously, all mine :)
he tweeted this the other day, but I couldn’t find the pics on the blog :( I think he was teasing me…
“On my way to try a Tracy Anderson workout, will post a pic of me in my spandex on seanavery.com later.”
I can appreciate male beauty without having homophobic comments thrown my way.
And what I said was, it is absurd to think that any Rangers and Jagr fan would not “consider” switching sides for him.
He is, the one, the only, JAROMIR
almost 27 hours!
I enjoy posts by both Salty and CR ilb. i just hate when we fight amongst ourselves.
JBzo… great Bonehead word/name!!
no more laurel’ing for me….TA!
anyone have xbox live on here i just got it
Come on, score one more on Tim Thomas!
This game is not over, Tim Thomas is well capable of giving up 5 goals in a minute!!
Exactly, Linda. I like their posts a lot too, but that constant bickering is getting a lil old. Congrats again, Linda.
arguments are inevitable on a blog, so like we say in hockey just let em go
thanks ilb, hopefully get a pic of him and my niece soon to share!
Yeah, they should pull the goalie..
I hate fighting amongst ourselves also. We should rather fight against Bostonians!
In this case, I am only responding to homophobic comments.

ALL…............THE….........WAY !!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO GOLD MEDAL GAME!!!!! Congrats TEAM USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Couldn’t have done it without the incredibly incredible work of Drury.
Im a happy human !!!
TREMENDOUSLY TREMENDOUS!!!!!!!!!!
high fives all around!!!!!!!!!!
Great game, Boneheads!
Let me go dig out my car before the Women’s curling Gold Medal match.
Let’s Go Cheryl Bernard!
It’s really not that absurd at all buddy.
Awesome game.
can someone remind me how to bold words in the blog
The best possible outcome!!
USA wins and Thomas gives up the only USA goal against!!!
The next best outcome would be if Miller gets pulled in the gold medal game against Slovakia, and NYR Gaborik scores 5 goals on Timmy.
it has been a pleasure watching and commenting on this game with all of ya!
Put * on either side of the text bold
Boneheads check the FB discussion board…
Wow…Roenick and Milbury…way to get ahead of yourselves.
Canada/Slovakia didn’t even play yet…
thanks LI!!!
Linda
asteriskWORD or Wordsasterisk
Good win for USA! Good thing it wasnt a “white-trash” game… :P
Brian Burke did an incredible job putting this team together. I have to admit I was way off… this has been nothing short of incredble to watch.
Going back to Ranger hockey is going to be very, very depressing.
congrats Team USA. great job today. beat Canada. and if not, it is still a successful tourney for American hockey. outstanding teamwork
asterisk text asterisk
here here Salty!
now awaiting Slovakia and Canada! GO MARIANS!!
hope pronger/richards dont take any cheapshots at marian tonight
This chick on NBC is saying “everyone” is cheering for Canada to win tonight so that it can be be USA vs CAN sunday… speak for yourself chunga.
It is all gravy from here. At worst, a silver medal. At best, the big win. I would imagine that things are tense north of the border now.
Do you think Canada wants another crack at US? And. I’m sure it’s mutual. I doubt Slovakia has much of a chance at all. In fact, I think Gabby should sit this one out :-)
Uhm, did I mention I was leaving tomorrow for Montana? Take a wild guess how much I packed. Exactly. And mrs is ready, btw. Let me go put some stuff in my luggage. Don’t want to meet the Wicksters without appropriate attire ;)
ilb
dont forget to wear your Jagr jersey for Wicky
have a great trip ilb! and give the wicksters big hugs from me!
SOMEONE HELP IF YOU KNOW
I START A NEW JOB AND WILL BE TRAVELING DURING THE WEEK HOME ON WEEKENDS FOR THE NEXT SIX WEEKS.
MY QUESTION IS HOW DO I WATCH RANGER GAMES ON THE COMPUTER.
I WANT TO WATCH ALL GAMES AS I DONT WANT TO WASTE MY WEEKENDS WITH THE WIFE AT HOME CATCHING UP ON GAMES ON DVR.
WHERE DO I GO. HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
I ain’t leaving yet. Did I mention I hate packing? CCCP-it’s being framed. I’m sure Wicky will be very upset lol
eric, either channelsurfing.net or atdhe.net
you could also go to hockeystreams.com, but that is not free
and i think NHL.com’s gamecenter is at a low rate now for the rest of the season
Eric- slingbox. What do I think I’ll be watching in Montana?
Did I mention I hate packing
.....
yeah you did…just now. :)
Linda
Which site would recommend first from the above ones since you on familiar with them. what has best picture
This does not count as laurel’ing, cause I got a FB message from Agravaine on e-mail :)
She had a great idea I should have thought of….anybody local up for warren for the game Sunday??
P.S. I generally love packing. Means I’m going away for fun! For me, in 3 weeks that’s Grand Cayman baby!!!! Whooohooo!
i purchased the whole season on hockeystreams, which is usually pretty good. I do run over to atdhe if hockeystreams is having technical difficulties.
new post. sorry LinZO.
Man, must say that i watched at some of great encounters the last days. Although i have to say that it isnt said Canada shall win easy from the US. Again Canada had some good luck today from Slovakia. USA will be winning sunday with 3-1! Something else: Yo Crosby! Get a laugh at your face !
