The US beat Sweden 5-2, so it will be a Canada/US gold medal game. If Canada plays the US like they did the last game they will be toast, but if they play like they are supposed to play, then the game will be very evenly matched. No matter what team wins, it should be a great game! I've got Tuesday off, so I think I may watch me some of that game!

This one's gonna be big!

Here are the scores from Jan 2nd's games:

1. Carolina beat the Rangers 2-1 in overtime. Carolina won? Yep. The Rangers scored 1 goal...again. Hard to win when that happens.

2. Vancouver beat Dallas 3-1. Daniel Sedin had another point. He has been amazing since coming back from his injury. Luongo was preparing himself for Olympic duty by having another good game.

3. Tampa Bay beat Pittsburgh 3-1. Fourth loss in a row for the Penguins. A little bit of burnout, perhaps?

4. LA beat Washington 2-1. Backstrom left the game with a migraine, hopefully nothing serious. Ovechkin was held pointless, and Quick(LA goalie) played great. He is on the Olympic squad(USA) because of his play this year.

5. The Islanders beat Atlanta 6-5 in the shootout. Ugly finish for an ugly game. Atlanta kept tying up the score, and then giving it right back again. Ugly, ugly, ugly.

6. Colorado beat Columbus 3-2. Columbus lose? No surprise.

7. Calgary beat Toronto 3-1. Way to not show up, guys! Arghhhhhhhh!

8. Chicago beat St. Louis 6-3. Chicago keeps on rolling, and smoked St. Louis on the night of their new head coach's debut. Not a good debut.

9. Nashville beat Anaheim 3-1. Anaheim has been better than Toronto this year, but only marginally. Who would have thought they would stink this bad?

10. New Jersey beat Minnesota 5-3. It looked like Minnesota was going to tie it up(when it became 4-3 NJ) but Langenbrunner got his 3rd goal via the empty net to squash the rally.

11. Detroit beat Phoenix 4-1. Getting 3 goals past Bryzgalov is hard to do(4th goal was an empty net goal), but Detroit was able to do it. Their offense is so inconsistant right now, and that is the main reason for their struggles.

12. San Jose beat Edmonton 4-1. No surprise, since it seems the only team that Edmonton can actually beat are the freaking Leafs! Man, I'm still pissed about that loss!

Here are the scores from Jan 3rd's games:

1. Ottawa beat Philadelphia 7-4. Kovalev scored 4 goals, but I imagine he will disappear again for a month before he has another game like this. This guy is so hard to figure out. The talent is there, but the mentality is not. Poor Jen. I'll bet this one was difficult to watch.

2. Buffalo beat Montreal 1-0. No fault to Montreal at all, as when Ryan Miller is on he is almost impossible to beat. This is Miller's 5th shutout of the season.

3. Florida beat Pittsburgh 6-2. The Penguins actually had a 2-0 lead at one point, and then totally fell apart. This is their 5th loss in a row. They need to wake up soon, otherwise they will find themselves on the outside looking in.

4. Chicago beat Anaheim 5-2. True, Anaheim is not a true test to gauge Chicago's might, but the Hawks look GOOD right now! If they play like this, I honestly think they could take out SJ in the playoffs!

-------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------

Here are the scores from Jan 4th's games:

1. The Rangers beat Boston 3-2. Boston is third last in goals scored in the entire league(which is surprising, to be honest), and they were dealt a big blow when Bergeron got hit in the hand with a puck. It now looks like he will miss 2-6 weeks with a broken thumb(which sucks for him as he was named to the Canadian Olympic roster).

2. LA beat San Jose 6-2. LA is going to be a good team to watch this year, and like Chicago, could knock San Jose out of the playoffs. Some good teams in the west this year.

A scary thought is that this score was bigger than most of the Cleveland Brown's scores this past NFL season!

I'm curious, Jen. Who is in your current Avatar?

One other thing. If Toronto wins on Wednesday, will you still be my friend?

To answer the first question, DYNA-GIRL from an old sat morning tv show called ELECTTRA WOMAN and DYNA-GIRL which is a rip off of the 60s BATMAN tv show

Now for the second question yeah i guess so but will you still be my friend if the FLYERS win?

Of course I would.

I thought that Dyna-girl may have been a painted picture of yourself, so that is why I asked.

Here are some scores for games going on right now:

-Toronto and Florida are tied 2-2 with less than 5 minutes left in the 2nd. Now it is 3-2 Toronto! Darn it! They are scoring faster than I can type! LOL!

-Montreal and Washington are tied 1-1...holy crap! It was 1-1 when I checked less than a minute ago and now it is 3-1 Washington. Montreal was getting badly outshot, but it looked like they were holding their own. 3-1 is not an insurrmountable lead, but Montreal needs to pick up their offense if they want to win this one.

-Boston is beating Ottawa 4-0. I guess the yelling they got from their head coach woke up the Bruins!

-New Jersey is beating Dallas 4-0. Dauls will be happy, purplehead not so much.

The rest of the scores are for teams that no one here follows(as far as I know) so I will just put them down in my final report.

1-0 for Canada against the US in the World Juniors.

I checked the score not much more than a few minutes ago and saw the Devils leading 2-0, half way through the second period. So 4-0 is a score I can accept. I can't watch it, damn ESPN-UK, but I can at least be happy.

I agree on both counts -- mostly that I can't wait for baseball season to begin. As much as I like hockey, my love of baseball is several orders of magnitude greater, since baseball is the greatest sport ever invented by humans. (Uh-oh, that might start an argument ... which isn't my intent.)

Jen, for a long time I coached softball for girls ages 6 to 14, and that "hit like a girl" remark used as a negative is one of my pet peeves. It's really that there are some fundamentals to stance and swing that girls are not shown because of sexism in society, and without being shown them most girls -- because of their natural body -- tend to do the things that are called that. I am proud to say that to this day I have kids come up to me and say thanks for teaching them how to hit (even their moms, and sometimes their dads, say thanks, too).

Sorry i didn't mean to offend anyone and i'm the last person who would put down girls. As a kid i played little league baseball and i was a good flieder and mostly played shortstop but i was never a good hitter and my team mates use to say i hit like a girl and little did they know that when i grew up i would become a girl so in away i find it funny but by no means was i putting down girls sports
