QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 10:17 AM) Vokoun is getting lit up. 3 goals on the first 8 shots? Wow. And he didn't start the 2nd period.

2-0 Canada in the first...Vokoun has given up 2 terrible goals.

No i didn't, i wasn't up that early. I'll have to check out the highlights between periods of these games. Canada just scored to go up 1-0. Brad Richards.

Canada vs Czech Republic just starting up on MSNBC.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 20, 2006 -> 08:35 PM) Last year I went to Tucson. This year since all my friends have different spring breaks I really have no one to go with, so just March Madness stuff. Do what i do and follow your team in the tournament...i mean...wait...

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Feb 20, 2006 -> 08:28 PM) By the way, you guys need to take care of Iowa on Saturday (I think that's when it is). Oh we'll try out darndest. Yeah, it's saturday at 5pm CT. I believe it's on ESPN. However, we need to beat Michigan tomorrow to have any sort of shot at sharing the title.

QUOTE(SnB @ Feb 20, 2006 -> 07:54 PM) I'm assuming this was just one of those "didn't take care of business" situations then, correct? That's what it was termed as, as always. WS101 said it was possibly underage drinking, but who knows.

Syracuse beat West Virginia 60-58 in a pretty entertaining game and an odd finish...McNamara misses the front end of a 1 and 1 and gets his own rebound with 4 WV guys standing around him.

The last 3 spring breaks i've followed the Illini around in the tournament...Indianapolis, then Columbus and Atlanta, then Indianapolis and Chicago. I'll do it this year if possible, otherwise i'll just be hanging around watching the tournament. I'm the anti-college spring break guy.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Feb 20, 2006 -> 04:37 PM) Yeah, aisle five...right next to the man purses. Priceless.

Jamar Smith is good to go for tomorrow at Michigan.

QUOTE(klaus kinski @ Feb 20, 2006 -> 12:14 PM) Congrats to US Womens Hockey on Bronze Metal win Um, it's a huge disappointment they got bronze, fyi.

Yeah, i remember DukeNukem's crap during the Illinois @ Indiana game. Chisoxrd, good luck getting Marco off your wall

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Feb 20, 2006 -> 08:52 AM) So we get Russia on Tuesday? Let's hope Kovalchuk doesn't go nuts and have another 4 goal game. Russia has about 5 guys who could go off like that, that's the scary part.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Feb 20, 2006 -> 01:49 AM) Which star players are not playing for the US team this time?? The biggest absence (read: guy who should be on team) is Ryan Miller, goaltender for the Buffalo Sabres. He was left off the team because he was injured all year and only played a few games by the time the roster was due. However, goaltending hasn't been the problem...like i hoped they'd do, they put Dipietro in net and he's been real solid. If you are referring to notable names that aren't there, Roenick is who you are looking for, though he doesn't deserve to be there anyway.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Feb 20, 2006 -> 09:02 AM) If we have to play the Fins if the first round we pretty much have zero chance. They are much more skiled offensively than the American team. The Canadians have a ton of talent but my issue with that club is they seem to lack any real speed. Lots of big defenders and centers but no real speed to threaten a team on breakaways. I think that may be their demise. Finland made the Canadians look slow on the Ice yesterday. I was unable to see this game because i was at the Illini game. Thing with USA is, does it matter who they play at this point? I wanted to avoid Canada based on their talent and scoring ability, because i don't think we can score enough to keep up with them. And on any given night, i think Canada can play the best game of anyone out there...i think by the medal round we will see a very different Canada team, but we'll see. And yeah, we do have to play the Fins first round.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Feb 20, 2006 -> 10:13 AM) Well if Kansas wins, then we might as well just concede the National Championship this season AND next season to the jayhawks because in all reality there is no reason to play out games where the outcome isn't even in question. The actual games would be a technicality for the juggernaut that is Kansas Jayhawk Basketball. Do you have a newsletter? ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK b****ESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Feb 20, 2006 -> 01:32 AM) Well how about that for a bet. KU loses to Texas, i will not speak a word of Kansas for a week. KU wins, heads will not discuss ISU for a week. Thanks for the compliment though. Heads says deal.

And, in my opinion, to get used to the time change and playing as a 'team'...or at least learning to play with the players on your team. Most of these guys had one practice before the games started.

I thought it was pretty good. The only thing i didn't care for was the Bachelor-esque cutting ceremony.

Just a reminder for anyone interested, Knight school is on at 9:00 central. Should be entertaining if nothing else.

QUOTE(thedoctor @ Feb 19, 2006 -> 06:28 PM) Damn

QUOTE(fathom @ Feb 19, 2006 -> 05:57 PM) The funny thing is that even though everyone hates the way Redick is on the court, Morrison is 10 times the punk that Redick is on the court. Nearly every game, Morrison gets into an altercation on the court. One of the reasons that Redick is so damn good is that he rarely loses his composure. Yeah i don't like either of them. You're right though, Morrison gets into more actual bulls*** with the other team.
