bloviatrix Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 FWIW, the US men's team was picked to finished 6th in the tournament. They got solid goaltending. The problem was they couldn't find the back of the net. I want to know who was the genius that chose all the graybeards? Anyone think rooms are going to get trashed a la Nagano?

bloviatrix Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I'm glad Canada got dumped too. Holy shit. I had no idea - this is what I get for working. Now that's a real upset. I think I'm going with the Swedes. Although I have a softspot for Suomi (Finland). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kim Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Watching Cohen has been the highlight of the games so far for me...Jacobellis hotdogged, and nonchalantly labelled that inappropriate behavior as fun....Look at Sasha's face, posture, demeanor..that young woman was having FUN, while maintaining her competitiveness. Beautiful, absolutely stunningly beautiful. It made me happy to watch them all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ranitidine Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Okay, since it's TWO of you now, who's the hottie? As Louis Armstrong (or was it Fats Waller) said to the woman who asked him what swing was, "If you have to ask, you'll never know." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hollywood Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 Speaking of swing, I just heard a story today that Glen Miller didn't die in the plane crash. He was just horribly busted up and didn't want anyone to know. So he lived out his days in a wheelchair in a mansion in San Marino, CA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ron Johnson Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 ...he took aim at the people who put the disappointing squad together. "You'd think USA Hockey would be a well-oiled machine, but it's not," he said. "Basically we were on our own for hotels, tickets, flights, stuff like that. "Normally we wouldn't have to worry about stuff like that." You've got to be kidding me. What a spoiled brat. He had to get his own plane ticket and his own hotel room? What an ordeal for the poor fellow. I wonder if he had to wipe his own ass too? Is this his excuse for the team looking like pylons while the Finns skated circles around them for three periods? I feel sorry for DiPietro. He was shelled relentlessly every game while Chelios was trying to catch his breath. On the upside the Czech/Slovak game was riveting. Too bad Demitra was injured in the end, or Slovakia might've tied it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But as an added bonus, Mickey Cohen somehow figured into this story. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tamar G Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I am obsessively checking the women's figure skating results here. I don't care, but some how I really do, or I wouldn't be refreshing the page every 7 minutes. Just the last 6 to go . . . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daisy Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Apologies to the people I am dining with later, but I'm a little upset I am going to miss the broadcast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't care, but some how I really do, or I wouldn't be refreshing the page every 7 minutes. Just the last 6 to go . . . I'm abashed to admit that I am doing the same, but primarily because I won't be able to watch the NBC broadcast later in the evening. The updates seem to go so slowly... Can't those girls skate faster? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lippy Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I'm sorry that I'm missing it, too, but glad that the website has videos of the top skaters' performances that I'll be able to look at later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
