Everyone's watching the game at work here. But then, they give everyone unlimited access to the Internet all the time.

Around these parts, that behaviour gets you folded up and locked in a broom closet for an hour or 2

Downtown Calgary, lineups at 9:30 at most bars. Unless you had reservations, you were turned away.

Just got back to my office, drinking coffee for the rest of the afternoon....

At our table of 10, 8 kept going. I have meetings... with beer on my breath.

Who the F schedules meetings today?!:snapoutofit:

Studied on campus (U of A) until around 9:30, then hopped a bus down to Hudson's on Whyte to catch the game. I will safely say that no work was done in that time span.

We thought we would have pizza brought in for the game....asked the boss if he wanted to join us. He said he would bring the beer and he bought the pizzas.

Pretty sweet deal all round.

Nice game Canada, do it again.

It was a good game, but great? Did we forget Vancouver?

The Olympic hockey has been meh this year. It was a good game today, Canada US is always entertaining. The Sweden game earlier was a good time to catch up on much needed sleep.

The woman's game was entertaining but it took the refs to create the drama. I would love to see a World Tourney with the NHL standard with 8 teams. 3 games series, you win a series you move on. 3 rounds. That would be way better then the figure skating and endless trap systems we see. Watching the weaker teams collapse on their goalie hockey and the endless dump ins with no forecheck makes me hope the NHL says to the IIHF and Olympics they won't play unless they change how its done or suck it. Ill take NA North/South hockey over the big ice any day.

We were better, simple.
Too many US players didn't show up, I think I heard Pavelskys name twice, JVR, notta.
Kesler, not sure why he was even on that team. TJ, thinking about his girlfriend likely.
One goal is all it takes.

Watched it on our couch at our rental in La Cruz Mexico. Shaw Direct satellite is awesome to have down here. Watching Olympic hockey when it's +28 and drinking a Pacifico is great.
