Also, I believe the toilet facilities at Sochi should be referred to as Vladimir's Poo Tins.

Seguin, not Sequin.

 

He confused him with the figure skater.

She's fun to follow- very into what she does. However, she was super fan girling over Putin the other day and caught a lot of flack for it. I'll overlook her political leanings and stick to her hockey related reports :)

 

Finally, a young woman who can give an interview without saying "umm", "yeah", and "like you know".

We don't have to be drunk to eat poutine

This girl is old school, aristocrat class, with a western spin. I'm a fan in general...she does have a good hold on hockey. Having said that...my favorite line may be, "I'll get my feet wet in every single position".......

A good article by Sean McIndoe (down goes brown) on women's hockey this year. Awesome.

 

Marek and Wyshynski discussed women's hockey on the podcast today, too. It's nice to hear about it.

Team USA goalie Ryan Miller is eager to reprise his Olympic MVP role. http://yhoo.it/1fYdkwq

Watching the opening ceremony. Apparently the Russian national anthem will always remind me of Rocky IV.

[WildCard]

Two big blows for the Fins, both Koivu and Filppula out with ankle injuries

Side note: It's amazing how good the Lightening have been this season with all of their injuries. If Washington lost Ovechkin they'd be right down here with us.

Nice!

Just a quick question. How can Nolan, a Canadian, coach the Latvian team. Don't you have to be a native, or at least a citizen, of the country to be part of the team? Are coaches excepted?

Coaches are excepted. Like Jurgen Klinsmann coaching USA men's soccer.

Thanks Eleven.

I love that Sandis Ozolinsh is still playing hockey for Latvia. I loved him on the Avalanche.

According to the schedules the USA games are on at 7:30am. I am going to DVR them and watch at night. Please tell me that the WGR txt alerts are not going to spoil it for me. It's so inconvenient sometimes
