Last nights Czech Republic v Slovakia game was the first game that seemed to have the outcome in doubt throughout the game and it was very entertaining. I enjoyed watching Jagr, who still seems to be able to bring it at age 38. Unfortunately Marian Hossa lived through the game, but hey one can continue to hold out hope! For all of you almost puckheads look at your listings for late Sunday afternoon as Team USA is scheduled to take on Team Canada, and that should be another great game. On another note, did anybody notice the jump in Genos game the other night? Did you even recognize him out there? Hey, I get the pride in your country thing, but the Penguins are paying your ugly ass nearly 9M per year, and Pens fans are paying big money to fill the Mellon Arena. The least you could do is actually play with the same passion for the team the puts the borscht on the table. Malkins talents on the ice are undeniable, and when he is motivated I love watching him, but I DO NOT LIKE HIM. Gonchar was not that impressive in the Soviets opener. Finally, I am looking forward to seeing Ryan Malone again, and waiting for Brooks Orpik to pass out some more freedom candy! If you actually enjoy reading this, I may need to take the next couple of days off here, but will begin posting some more Penguins and Olympic hockey topics by the end of this weekend. Until then enjoy the international competition!
