Ryan Wilson: Chris Kunitz Returns To Crosby Line Mike Babcock reunites Kunitz and Crosby. Pittsburgh leads Olympic hockey ratings.

So do we root to see Jagr with the Czechs, or Chara, Halak & Hossa?

Obviously, a lot depends on how this tournament ends, but you can't say enough good about the job Bylsma has done so far. Just the attitude, effort and line makeup of the US team has been awesome.

I'm fine with Kunitz and Crosby being reunited, but seems weird to pair them with Bergeron IMO

Crosby and Bergeron dominated the 05 World Jr's. For some reason they are comfortable playing on the same line.

You better be here Friday if we both win these next games.

Agreed, but Bergeron doesn't seem to be the type that mixes with Kunitz and Crosby... i actually liked the Benn - Crosby - Bergeron line, thought it had a great mix of Jam and Skill.

The second time in probably 3 days that I posted a link to a Michael Farber story, but this time he wrote a really good piece on Bylsma:

With Perry too on that line. Yet they wont got full WJC and try it again

"Evgeni Malkin continues to rot away on the team’s 2nd power play unit."


Russia loves to use their 5 man units and stubbornly stick with them.

Radulov is such a waste of talent.

you should see some of the hatred thrown at crosby on some websites due to kunitz being reunited. "Crosby runs the team" blah b;ah blah. I really liked the person who said Claude G was left off the team because crosby and his agent demanded it!

Giroux and Crosby have the same agent

Friday might be tough. Dave Hause is playing Edmonton Thursday night and I have a day off from work.

When would that game be? Thought it was Friday??

Byslma vs Jagr tomorrow

Friday... high noon (eastern)...

Kunitz should have returned to Canada for a do-over and Giroux brought in. What a waste of a roster spot.

RE: "Babcock’s recent practice lines have Chris Kunitz playing with Sidney Crosby again and Patrice Bergeron will be the one to join them in their quarterfinals matchup against Switzerland."
I know it is early but currently 2-1 for Latvia!

Well that sentence was completely fabricated from my subconscious. Whoops.

Slovaks making this thing interesting... Doc's goal call on Surovy's goal was amazing

But Bergeron's a natural center. I was hearing a lot of how Canada wanted natural wingers to play on the wing.

Man...what a day for Latvia. Totally ruins Switzerlands tournament. But...that's how it goes. Awkward for Nolan now. He's Canadian and had to coach against his country in a big game.

First win in 12 years for the Latvians in an Olympic setting. Switzerland was sort of a disappointment this time around. Seven NHLers lost to one and that one is a rookie in Buffalo. They haven't played bad hockey in this tournament. They gave Sweden problems.

Quiet day up in here.
