This is the first really big event of the Olympics for me. The preceding women's games were fun and I've enjoyed many other events, but now we're getting a great hockey game here.

 

[alchemyindex]

Guess I'll be up at 6:30 tomorrow, this is one I don't want to miss.

[mod]

GO CANADA!

 

[hatterson]

Looks like I'll be heading into work an hour early so I can watch this.

 

[Territory]

Ugh. So early. But I have to watch this!

Guess I'm waking up early!

 

[Deficient Mode]

I will be cheering for Canada but I expect the US to win.

I hope that any clowns that might be in the arena will be suitably pounded.

 

[Darth Bangkok]

7:30 PM here. Nice!

This game means nothing. Both teams are in the semi's if they meet for gold then it matters.

 

[Pi]

Game means nothing in terms of standings since both are in the semis already but it should still be an intense game.

USA has beaten Canada in 4 straight games...I don't think Canada will want that to continue and potentially get into their heads in a knockout game in the future.

Significant game in that aspect for both teams.

Adding to what this user posted. Anytime Canada vs USA matters as it is two power houses testing each other. We get a better perspective on where both teams stand going forward. To say this match up doesn't matter is just a stupid statement.

 

[General Zodd]

Gonna be tough to wake up for this one but the alarm is set!!
Hopefully they don't kill each other out there!

Seeding matters I imagine. Assuming Finland beats the Swiss, the #1 seed probably wouldn't have to play them again, right? I imagine both teams would prefer to not have to play Finland again.

Anybody know if any of these players are NHL'ers sisters? Lots of familiar last names

Only one I know is Philadelphia Kessel

I know Amanda Kessel is sister to Phil Kessel the others I don't know

 

[saintflannel]

Looking forward to this one. Should be a scrappy game.

 

[Taelin]

Canada's first real test.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Let's go USA!!!

Set the tone for the men to follow

Game could get ugly fast. USA beat Canada the last 4 or 5 games in a row.

 

[manictech]

Does anyone know where I can stream the game online?

And I expect for it to continue. Not sure how ugly it will get, but I'm not expecting it to be all that close.
