....duuuuude my back is fucking killing me. Just the muscles I haven't used in a while are so tired. But oh well, I'll get used to it after a while.

Check this shit out though...amazing shots

the chip by omrak is brilliant... my favourite anyway

no henrik sedin for sweden... shame but he has been crap the last few weeks and is only playing 2 periods per game so he must be suffering.. It's a bit annoying how vague the canucks are on players injury, henrik apprently has a rib injury and hamhuis a soft tissue injury S: wish they would keep the fans updated a bit better .

So no henrik for sweden and unless daniel turns it around 180degrees from his recent form it'll be like sweden are just without the sedins.. I forget how well do the sedins perform for sweden, do sweden have the depth to cover these guys ?

No mikko koivu or fillpula for finland either, a fair few injuries all round.


also I hear there will be no nhl players in korea for the next olympics, does anyone think that that will give the khl a boost ? Playing for your country seems to be a lot more important for us european fellows, the attitude seems a bit different in north america, if the russians and others are not allowed to play in the winter olympics whilst in the nhl, maybe more guys will do a kovalchuk and switch to the khl, which seems to be growing I might be wronng but I think a team from finland has joined up too, it's becoming a europe wide league and the oil barons of the east have a ton of money :S.... might see a few players head over.

I had some GREAT seats at the Canes-Habs game the other night. It's a shame the Canes lost and also Max Pacioretty picked up a knock which sucks because he's an American.

Watching Olympic hockey is great. The Ruskies and Canadians won but the US just hammered the shit out of a deceng Slovakian team. I like the attitude the American team has, we'll get Gold!

I woke up early for the first big game of the Olympics, USA and Russia.

The scoring power is REDICULOUS. Malkin, Ovechkin and Kovalchuk on one line

Well THAT was pretty fucking epic!
