Former Dallas Star Niklas Hagman leads Finland to their 5-1 win today over the significantly less talented Belarus. Teemu Selanne has pulled into a tie for the highest scoring hockey Olympian of all time with 20 goals and 36 points.
Sweden and Germany are about to drop the puck!
The Quack Attack! (today via text): "I was nice to see forsberg as a non factor last night"
Um...Quacker...too bad FORSBERG plays for SWEDEN! He is on the stamp, ya know.
Czechs are as disinterested as the Americans in blowing out opponents!
Another 14 pointer for some, but many were fooled as seperation begins in the standings.
You are definitely the go-to guy for all things Olympic hockey Ben! Forsberg was also a non-factor last night against Germany when HE ACTUALLY LOGGED ICE TIME...
ReplyDeleteI was with Quacker and SAW Forsberg play ... I guess we were in some NBC/Verizon Twilight Zone!
ReplyDeletePietro Fursborgov was too busy enjoying the rewards of his patience during the Russia game by enjoying his Vodka infused sliced raw fish for breakfast. The orange juiceless screwdriver made him a non factor the rest of the day, far beyond the confines of the hockey match.
ReplyDeleteMaybe that's what was in my diet coke with lime that day when I had the Forsberg sighting!
ReplyDeleteVerizon Update from Lewisville TX: They have FINALLY fixed the tv guide program info - bet they got tons of complaints that it was wrong and people missed the Olympic coverage they thought they were going to see!
CJ, did you know that Forsberg plays for Forsberg's team (that guy has one heck of an ego). You were probably too busy obsessing over Don Cherry on CBC to catch the NBC broadcast of USA v Norway today where they mentioned that. And that sir would be Un-American, yet in better taste and quality.

ReplyDeleteFirst of all Ben, a guy has to make a living, and noon PST games don't go over very well with the boss. Second, there is only one Forsberg, regardless of what it says on the back of the jersey of some guy from Norway. No matter what some of the record book geeks will tell you, there was only one DiMaggio, one Gretzky, one Dale Earnhardt, one George Bush (although one could argue there maybe should have been no George Bushes), etc. AND, if you were really up on your Olympic facts, you would know that CBC lost the rights to the Vancouver games to CTV (who has virtually no US reception), hence no Don Cherry. Who by the way, is a major improvement over any of the NBC talking heads, with the possible exception of J.R. (and hey by the way, Brett Hull should be on this team!). I can't believe I have to listen to Doc Emrick say "he slithered one into the zone" during the Olympics too!
ReplyDeleteI am sure there is a joke about The Nile river to use somewhere. Ben, I know if there were discussions of Austria's broadcasting rights you would be all over it. God bless our homeland forever!
