1-1, 2 minutes and change left in the 1st period
Goals for Amonte, USA, and Kariya, CAN.
My overriding thought so far: This is what the NHL All-Star Game SHOULD be like. Awesome hockey.

HUGE penalty kill for the USA about midway through the second, including over a minute of 5-on-3... Lemieux hit the post on an open net frrom just outside the crease, how the hell did he miss that?

LeClair PPG to tie the game at 2 at about 15:30 of the 2nd. Can I just say again that this is great hockey?

why Lemieux missed that shot is beyone me. can only guess taht it is the hip tho if that is the case he shouldn't be playing. yet, think that his absence would diminsh Canadian spirit ....

Hip or no hip, he couldn't believe he missed that shot any more than I could.
Sakic PPG gives the lead back to Canada at 18:19 of the 2nd.

Along those lines, Sakic really does look great so far today, as does Richter.

go go sakic! (and canada)
(i really should be cheering for the US....)
and can you believe this, from somewhere in the middle of PA all the way down to MD, I'm surfing all AM and FM stations trying to find a broadcast of this game...on the way up on Friday, I could hear the USA/Russia game starting around Scranton, PA...and NOBODY broadcasts it and yet, there are three stations broadcasting the same NASCAR race and a couple of stations on college bball. urg! this is what i get for living down here.
and the only good thing about cornell hockey now being broadcast on AM is that you can hear it in binghamton.

yay Judy!! you got home!!! welcome to the gold medal game!!! can't believe you don't like NSYNC Josh. Judy and I have caught them in concert twice. Their lyrics may be lame and they may be kinda girlie but their songs are way happy and peppy. Besides, what else is there to do when the hockey season is over?

how can NBC's announcers be laughing and telling little stories when there is 8 min left in the olympic gold medal game? aren't they feeling the tension, the excitement?
damn. canada goes on the PK.
go defense!

i thought I heard cleary's name mentioned too.
in a game like this, I think we need something that will make us breathe so that we don't have to think about it.
SCORE CANADA!
wow, the most emotion I've seen out of gretsky during these olympics.

Ouch. After a huge PK by Canada, Yzerman comes out of the penalty box and sets up Iginla to bring the score to 4-2.

What a game!
I think Richter actually got his stick on the Lemieux missed opportunity and deflected it wide and high. At least that's the way the replay of the goal looked, although it wasn't the best angle.
It didn't matter anyway, Canada still won. Kudos to Canada on a game well played. It was nice to see all the emotion on the Canadian team when time expired. I thought Brodeur was going to jump up on the crossbar and start dancing.

I thought the same thing, Tom, on the Lemieux "miss." Otherwise, he'd have had to shoot it sideways.
Nice to see Joe and his little guy getting the gold medal together.

want to apologize for my overexcessive use of a certain profane word. chalk it up to excitement and an overemotional state. was very impressed with the way both teams played and was happy to see Joe out there sharing his gold medal moment with his child.

In this article about Gretzky Nieuwy with his child gets a mention. kinda nice that he was singled out near the beginning of the article. gotta love the cornell connection. hope he returns to the alumni game this year!

ok. one last find. thought that this was funny ( tho it might possibly be true!)
Before the opening faceoff, Brendan Shanahan, a Canadian by birth and a Detroit Red Wing by trade, said there wouldn’t be a single car on a road anywhere back home.
“And if there was,” he added, “it will probably have a satellite dish attached to the roof.”

Didn't you know that Bill Cleary was regarded as the best US hockey player ever for a long, long, long, long, long, long, long time? And that it was an anti-American bias within the NHL that kept him out of the league (plus some personal reasons on his part)? He was so good, even the Soviet players were impressed.

The Cleary brothers, along with John Mayasich, were added to the roster just days before the tournament started. The rest of the team threatened not to play if the new guys were added, but Jack Riley just faced them down. He knew they had no chance without the scoring punch the three would add. (Bill Cleary finished with six goals and six assists--figuring in 12 of the team's 29 goals.)
Mayasich had played at Minnesota in the '50s, scoring 144 goals and 154 assists in 111 games. His number was retired at UMinn four years ago. Ned's 1954 RPI team beat Mayasich's Minnesota team in OT for the NCAA championship.
The last player cut from that 1960 team was, curiously enough, Herb Brooks.
