The stinker is that if they do win (and I checked it's Canada 4, Germany 1 at intermission) they will probably face Russia in the Quarterfinals. I was hoping for a Canada vs Russia for the gold medal.

Edit: 1:10 into the 3rd period, Canada 5, Germany 1

Germany has almost caught the USA in the medal count. 

US has pulled farther ahead with 32 medals, Germany still in second with 26.

US mens hockey team in the gold medal game by thrashing Finland 6-1. Will Canada be there too?

Time for a little payback beating the home team for the gold!

And another gold for holland... women snowboarding

...dominating?...you kidding? Canada got the short end of that stick. Canada hit first, but Russia hit back, and hard. I see Staal still on the roster, but I doubt he walked away from that hit fine and dandy... (...and that was a clean hit too, unnecessary, but clean)

...and Crosby nearly got turned into a vegetable. Aye, that one was dirty, but you don't rough up Russia and not expect something like that...

...and lets not forget it was 2-1 Russia after the goalie switch, so don't forget send thank you cards to Nabokov.

Slovakia is the Cinderella team this year, and they won't be giving in easily. They beat Russia, and eliminated Sweden, so I wouldn't count my chickens just yet.

7-3 is not a very impressive distribution of points...

...to be honest, judging by how lazy and uncooperative the Russian forwards were, I don't think the deserved to have scored.

No doubt Canada has the most impressive offensive game in this Olympics, but that didn't do you any good against Team USA, and even the Swiss gave you guys quite a scare.

Albeit that Luongo pulled his game together, but its the little mistakes that has been costing Canada wins. The Slovakian goalie has been decent, and unless something drastic changes, I doubt Canada will get more than 5 in tonight, so Luongo has to step it up again or it might get real close.

...and once again, if Canada plays physical, the Slovakian won't hesitate to hit back. I don't think they'll win, but they have the potential (and they're just vindictive enough) to send a few Canadian players onto the injured reserved list...

...but either way, Canada has one more after tonight, facing either a fresh US team, with the best goalie in Vancouver or a humiliated Finnish team that won't be as sloppy as they were today. Tonight's game can easily determine the color of Canada's medal...if one at all.
