Yes, I meant I hadn't seen him as a broadcaster in Canada. When he was here he was a little bit crazy, but nothing like the jacket I just saw on Google: white with maple leafs all over it.

I think his prediction is off. It's tough to imagine 8 goals being scored in this game. The defensemen on both sides are setting up textbook-style.

Why are there Americans rooting for Team Canada?

I see Michael J. Fox is in the crowd at the arena and he's wearing a Team Canada hat.

I don't see how the USA has a chance after the perfect execution of that goal just now.

Canada 2-0!!!

Maybe that prank caller ought to be put in at goal for Team USA (see my post from last night).

That was an excellent goal. There's still 1 1/2 periods to go so nothing is wrapped up yet.

True that. It's now 2-1. I should have been more specific. I meant that if Team Canada continued to play as they were, and if the USA couldn't do anything better than 1-and-done shots on goal during their power plays.

Trying to watch and "blog" at the same time has its limitations.

I missed the goal as I had to leave, but I did hear the noise on tv as I was leaving the room. Now Canada better get down to business if they don't want to lose this game.
