Clearly, the US will lose because their defense and goaltending are terrible trash.

I'd like a 4-2 US win with Jagr and Jake scoring the only goals for the Czechs.

That would sound good to me. I would love to see the US beat Canada then have Canada lose to Sweden or Finland and not medal. Couple that with a US gold and i will be a very very happy camper.

I agree for the most part, but when he lost his mind ripping Ovechkin against the Flyers last year, I loved it.

To be fair, it was low hanging fruit. I'm more of a "Jonesy deconstructs Radulov" fan, anyways.

Any curve, or is this a test when the entire class can fail?

Don't know yet. Her first year teaching.

She's a good person though. Her test was impossible. There's 2 things going for us- a) EVERYONE bombed it. It was a trainwreck and b) if anyone will curve it it'd probably be this teacher.

But we'll see

It was definitely, but just the degree to which he completely flipped had me rolling. There's bashing a guy, and then there was that.

US beats Canada in Semis. US beats Swe/Fin in Finals to win gold. Canada loses to Fin/Swe in bronze medal game.

I can sign onto to any scenario that features Canada not winning a medal of any kind.

I um...yeah, no. I consider myself a fairly book-smart guy, but I can't imagine trying to do that.

Any idea what kind of work you want to do after you get your degree (and what would that degree be)?

I thought it was just really crazy thunder, but the building definitely shook.

Dream scenario: Oskars Bartulis has the best Olympic game ever, scoring 13 goals and assiting on 7 more in a 20-0 Canada win. In the process, Sidney Crosby and Chris Kunitz both break multiple bones in their legs, placing them on IR for the season.

I never liked that, because you could comb through enough video to find that sort of play or any player, whether it's Zherdev or Datsyuk.

I don't like the idea of wishing injuries. I thought my earlier scenario of Crosby and Kunitz falling in love and retiring immediately. Then moving to a secluded and tastefully decorated cabin in north Ontario was better.

I'm a 3rd year Phamrmacy major. First professional year. Almost half way there!

If all goes according to plan I'll have a Doctor of Pharmacy.

So that'd be Dr. GiG if we're all still around these parts in the summer of 2017

I never wish injuries that will impact quality of life post-career like concussions or paralysis. But the kind that would put 2 key players of the Flyers' biggest rival out for the remainder of the year, I would not be upset with.
