    I would never get up at that time so I'm just going to stay up and watch the Olympics all night. Can't wait to watch the Russians take advantage of the American's lack of speed and what is what I consider the weakest group of defensive minded forwards among the big 5

    Should be a good game. The US made the Slovaks look silly so it will be interesting to see how they come out against Russia and that home crowd.

    You have to think that Russia is going to be highly motivated knowing Putin will be in the crowd watching this game. He probably has snipers in the rafters getting ready to take out anyone who doesn't skate their guts out.

    Im hoping the Russians knock off the US. I want to see the US have a tougher time going forward, although I dont think it's going to make much of a difference.

    Great first period though. Solid back and forth and both goalies played well.

    Pretty even game so far. Russia has had some good chances but the USA looks dangerous on the break. Both goalies look solid, could go either way but I think russia will win this.
