Sure looks that way.

Word. The Olympics are where I'll be at.

I mean it is, but I'm always hopeful one of the other countries will field a competitive team.

I expected Russia to be better than this.

I love pickled herring and I would eat it on the bench during intermission. Let the crowd watch.

Don't you love it? The things people do to perfectly good houses. We're probably house shopping within the next year or two and let me tell you, I can't wait to be completely disappointed in everything I look at. Amen.

Heck yeah Broken Arrow.

I like all of those movies. Good lazy Sunday watches.

I love that song.

4 goals without Eichel is pretty decent.

I think he deserved first. He was better than Kolyada.

This roster without O'Reilly or Eichel at any one time is absolutely dreadful.

Really pissing me off.

You misunderstood. Jack was in good spirits.

Favorite Olympic athlete so far: Porn stache rocking German ski jumper named Richard Freitag (Dick Friday). 60% of the time, it works every time.

I've got mad respect for a man clinging to his hair for dear life. I couldn't do it. I've been buzzing it short since I started balding. My dad rocks the horseshoe and he ain't give a heck.

Went climbing at the Niagara Climbing Center today. About an hour of top roping and my hands are very sore. It was a lot of fun though, hoping to keep going back regularly.

Hilary actually liked it on Twitter :)

The first intermural team I played on in college had a goalie who liked to do stuff like that. We were awful so every game was a blowout, so by the 3rd period we'd just start goofing around with the other team. Our goalie would come out and take faceoffs or lead the rush out of the zone from his own net.

I'd like to see them enforce it ;)

Oh...oh no. No no no.

No kidding. It was the first thing I thought of the other night when that squeaker went in.

I always roughed up the ice so it would be a little less slippery when sliding in the butterfly. One thing I used to do was take the snow that builds up and pack it against the posts. It would let me get a better seal with my skate against the post and keep pucks from sneaking through.

My favorite things to do while playing goalie: -lay down on the ice while play is in the other end. Extra points for pretending to nap. -dance to music, real or in my head -put my stick on top of the net and try to make saves without it -taking that a step further, leave blocker and catcher on top of the net too, put arms behind back, and try to make saves with only my legs/torso. That was a favorite with my group of friends in college. -scream at opposing players near the crease. Get right up behind their ear and just let rip. This works well for me because I'm very loud.
