How about a backyard hockey rink? Or just buy one? Sorry for going somewhat off-topic, but thought it was appropriate, being Friday and all. Note: I don't make any money off this. Just remember seeing it on someone's blog. Crazy.

Hockey link dump? How about all of the Bud Light Hockey Falls ads? You've gotta love Bill Clement combing out the mullet.

Who's this Costanza guy, anyway?

Sweden opened up a can of whoopass on Denmark, winning 10-1. Could Sweden become the first team to score against Canada this year? We'll have to wait until tomorrow to see.

Well the first round of the tourney is over. The perfect picks so far would have been: (9-10) Sweden/USA (7-8) Canada/Russia (5-6) Czech Republic/Finland (3-4) Slovakia/Kazakhstan (1-2) Switzerland/Denmark for a total of 300 points. Chris2sy is the current leader so far with 294 points while rumple sits in last with only 262. There are 11 games in the playoff/relegation round though, so there are still a lot of points to hand out.

Congrats go out to holden and apoch. Good/terrible prognostication fellas.

Maybe we should reconsider calling the Costanza the apoch award. I sure win it a lot. Gah.

Apoch, you are like the frog choking the pelican, you are doomed but you don't give up. You have my respect, sir. A big congrats to Holden as well, very nice prognostication. And a hearty congrats to the Collective as well.
