So who's up next? Was that for gold?

Quick! Tell them to forfeit one of their golds to Canada.

The gold medal game is tomorrow against Sweden.

I would like Cheryl Bernard to go into extra ends with my hammer.

Is that that cute one for Canada?

all that picture tells me is that Courtney Cox is more attractive than I thought.

Yeah, she's a cutie.

Also Greek Plus in the Convent Glen shopping center has a nice lamb souvlaki for the price.

If you want a fantastic quality Lamb kabob though you'll need to pay for it handsomely and go to Pilo's on Montreal road. Absolutely the best lamb kabob I've had period.

Two things we miss from Montreal: Pizza and Souvlaki

The pizza is shizz and Souvklaki is nowhere to be found in Pittsburgh

After that Swiss game I wouldn't be surprised to see a Finland Final.

you mean no chance at redemption on Miller? ah well, oh wait, they have Kipper, would be a good match up either way, hope Canada brings their A game on Friday, then I can comfortably talk about the final, don't want to look past the Slovaks, they did beat Russia and the Swedes.

Yes Slovakia beat Sweden and Russia, but c'mon, this is Canada we're talking about!

That's what I was thinking as well. The US team is like the Swiss, relying almost exclusively on the strength of their goaltender. Look what happened to the Swiss in the quarters.

Although the 'Merks beat us 5-3, the last goal was an empty netter, so it was really a 4-3 game. And if Brodeur isn't pining for some peanuts and Cracker Jack then we're are *at least* going to OT. And, frankly, no one will argue that Brodeur should have had at least one other goal.

As for the Slovaks, they have a bit more firepower than the Swiss, but they still, primarily rely on their goalie. It really should not even be close.

taking things for granted is what got them in trouble against the US, yes they played a great game, but they need to put the same effort against the Slovaks to ensure a win and to get to the gold medal game.
