Is OEL scratched or just benched for this one? Will he finally play now if it's the latter?

he was just out there. There's your answer :-D

How the hell do you not play some one till the 3rd period?

Good morning, TMLFANS!

Time to put my Team Canada jersey on with my name and #50 -- 50th birthday gift I received this past Thursday, the day our hockey ladies won Gold!!

WAY TO GO CANADA!!!

He sat on the bench for the whole game against Finland. Sweden's coach is only using 6 defence.

Some people like to float the idea that Crosby is so good that he's hard to play with, and that's partially why they brought Kunitz along for the built-in chemistry.

I hope he scores 2 goals to make it interesting before St. Louis scores the game winner. And then OEL flips his coach the bird on the way out.

The clock was at about 15:00 20 min ago...

We rule man!!!

kunitz!

 

[seahawk]

Game. Set. Golden!

 

[Stebro]

So sloppy by Sedin...it doesn't work to turn over the puck this much vs Canada. No offensive play in the 2nd or 3rd period doesn't help much either.

Healy was this (| |) close to mentioning the book on Lundqvist.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

I'm sorry Kunitz. That was a beauty shot.

 

[Peter D.]

Kunitz justifies his selection by salting away the Gold right there.

he did mention that he plays deep in the net. Not in so many words but?..

An NHLPA source tells Yahoo Sports that Backstrom violated anti-doping rules after using an allergy medication. Some, like Claritin, contain pseudoephedrine, a banned substance by the IOC and the World Anti-Doping Federation

That sucks for Sweden and Backstrom. I don't believe for a second he was actually using anything for a competitive advantage.

edit: Elliotte Friedman speculates it might have been migraine medication he took.

That's what I meant. But he managed to avoid using the word "book" this time.
