JMAN--ALL this hockey is AWESOME at the OLYMPICS(much like NHL playoffs and even better in some ways)............the next five days is going to provide some of the best single elimination hockey you will ever see.

PP coming up for RUSSIA....a goal here would be a dagger in the hearts of Team USA.

 

[Faceless]

I like slovakia to win whole thing, also think Finland gets a medal.

 

[Railbird]

USSR played rope a dope, remind me of Ali-Foreman.

 

[Horseshoe]

Esche(like all Flyer Goalies) is a windmill in crunch-time..reason why Flyers have settled for silver in so many Stanley Cups the last twenty years..also always seem to go to Finals with their better teams when a major dynasty is in progress(Edm, Det,etc..)..Philly sportsfans just suffer after the Philadelphia area sports glory era(late '70s to middle '80s)
