It’s Olympic Hockey Time!!!!

Tomorrow morning at 7:30am the United States men’s hockey team begins their quest for a gold medal against Slovakia in Sochi.  The American’s will be starting Jonathan Quick in net (for at least the first game).  The US will need Quick and Ryan Miller (if he plays) to step up and lead the way because they are not as loaded up front as the Canadians and Russians.  Whether or not they win gold it should be a fun ride and this will be the best hockey that you can watch so make sure you tune in.

Here’s a little video to get you ready for tomorrow.

Prediction:

Gold: Canada
Silver: Russia
Bronze: USA

Goalie Fight!!

Last night the Buffalo Sabres and Toronto Maple Leafs were playing a nice, quiet little preseason game before a battle royale broke out in the third period.  After scoring the Sabres third goal, Corey Tropp lined up for the faceoff at center ice alongside Toronto big man Jamie Devane.  As the puck is being dropped words are exchanged between the two, the gloves are tossed aside and fisticuffs ensue.  The problem for Tropp is that he does not fight, like at all… ever, so the bigger, stronger, Devane has his way with him leaving Tropp bloodied and possibly concussed.
