SO close to a haiku.
It's not legal to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel, fly off a mountain on blades.
Great shootout win by team USA this morning. If you didn't see it check out the replay even if it's just the shootout portion.
Ending a hockey game (or any game) as great as this mornings game was with a shoot out is criminal.
CBS Sports has a media rich, detailed run down of the game. Well worth the click for anyone who missed the game
T.J. Oshie leads United States to win in shootout over Russia
February 14, 2014 3:04 pm ET
The United States got four goals from T.J. Oshie in an eight-round shootout to defeat Russia by a final score of 3-2 on Saturday to move atop Group A in the Olympic hockey tournament.
In a game that will rival any of the best hockey games you've ever seen, the United States prevailed in a shootout that was as good as the game that preceded it. Because of IIHF rules, after the first three shooters a player can take another turn so after the third round, USA coach Dan Bylsma just kept going back to Oshie and time and time again he delivered. continue

Instant Classic: USA - Russia
As an aside I thought Dan Patrick tried to Sportscenter the highlights up a bit too much. The plays speak for themselves, no need to try to go so over the top. Sometimes less is more.
A guy that went to the same high school I did got the bronze in skeleton. His name is Matt Antoine. His mother was a couple years behind me in high school. He was in a class two years ahead of my daughter.
cool, Ammo
I think you can get more out of the Olympics if you kind of know someone to root for personally.
I played basketball for a few years with the dad of a Water Polo player. Captain of the team this past Summer Olympics. Kind of neat.
Yah ammo, was kinda cool to hear "Prairie du Chien can be proud of their native son". Loved seeing the cheese heads there rooting him on.

Czech Olympic Medalists Win Liquid Gold of Pilsner Beer
quote:Pilsner Urquell beer brewer SABMiller Plc will offer a year of free beer to athletes from the Czech Republic, the worldâs top beer drinking country, for winning a medal at the Sochi Olympics.
[...]
âI believe the athletes will appreciate this motivation and they will find the beer useful during celebrations with their friend and fans,â Pilsner Urquell brand manager Lukas Novotny said in an e-mailed statement. However many medals Czechs win, the brewery has âmore than enoughâ beer, he said.
Lots of people go to high school, guys like Wooderson still go.

What a major ****-up by the Swiss in the last end.
Sveedish gals looking longer in the tooth than hotties from Denmark but I still love that inherit sleepy eyed look from the Norse gene pool. The blonde adds to the sleepy eyed thing of course.

The slashing call when the U.S. was on the power play in OT was horrible.
I just watched the last 7:30 of the 3rd period. That's a major choke by the USA Womens Hockey Team.
Hey at least they get the silver.
