I think it's funny that Jon Miller and Joe Morgan have come up. One thing you have to give Joe Morgan credit for: there is no other baseball broadcaster I know of who routinely gets away with saying the same thing twice, again and again and again and again, over the course of a game. Jon Miller is a horse's ass, too, however, so they are made for each other!

Could you tell that I was excited about the game?

Perhaps Joe Morgan gets tips from Michael Cole(a play-by-play announcer for WWE wrestling)! Apparently he is not well liked by many people in that company.

A couple of the results from last night could be considered upsets. Slovakia beating Sweden(defending champs) and Finland beating the Czech Republic!

So it will be Finland vs US and Slovakia vs Canada in the two semi-final games on Friday.

Everyone at work is saying that Canada will be beat Slovakia. They will, too if they play like they did last night. There is also complete agreement that Luongo should have been the starting goalie right from game 1.

Yes, but one thing that Slovakia has that is a plus for them is Halak for their goaltender. He is been pretty good in the Olympics so far(and he's been good for your team most of the season).

I imagine that this will be the one time that you want to see Halak get shelled?

Yep, I wouldn't mind seeing Halak letting a lot of pucks past him.

As long as it doesn't continue past the Olympics, eh Ila?

Definitely. Every goalie has his off games and the Olympics is the time for Halak to have his off games. When he gets back to Montreal he has to start getting shutouts again.
