Gotta respect Ovie for going to the worlds to play in what might have been 1 game. Turns out he'll get to play 2. The man loves hockey.

But it's gotta suck being that Russian player pulled from the lineup because Ovie decided to show.

Anyway, Canada - Russia final today @ 2:45. Considering the star power involved, should be a doozy.

Obviously, he's lost a step and is not the same player...but, not bad. Definitely better than Handzus, who the Hawks had at #2 C.

Now where is BlackLabel to discuss what happened to Finlandia.

Hawks played well enough to win...didn't bury their chances, Ducks did. Game 1, finished.

Let's see what happens next. If Chicago can escape Duckland 1-1 and back to Chicago, I'll be very happy.

Not that meaningless to the Russians apparently.

PRAGUE, Czech Republic — Russia’s hockey team may end up paying for its Canadian anthem snub.

Russian news agency TASS reported the Russian team is facing sanctions after players left the ice before O Canada. The Canadians crushed Russia 6-1 in Sunday’s gold-medal game, and most of the Russians quickly departed for the dressing room, a breach of the sport’s etiquett

And when the tournament is over the Finnish players go back to Finland and the Canadian players go back to Canada so obviously in the big picture Finland wins.

Sure it's a great bandwagoneer post except Hank stopped everything humanly possible.

The issue was the rest of the Rangers took the night off & Alain left St. Louis in when it is clear he is a liability.

Yup, that is how bad the Rangers played.

Who are the current Presidents winners & Eastern Conference champs?

And your Pengoons made the eastern finals last when?

It's perfect.

As a Ranger fan I expect every series to go 7 & into ot if I am lucky.

I am sure you agree "fans" that appear when things are good are a bane on sports.
