6am for the gold medal game isn't too bad. I remember being up at 4am for the gold medal game in 94.

That's the downside of having the Olympics overseas is the weird ass times the games will be on. I remember trying to stay up to watch the Nagano games. I'm looking forward the 2010 games in Vancouver...games will be on at a normal for all of us.

I'm setting my VCR today for that Latvia-Kazakstan tilt on the 21st. Should be epic.

Talk about luck of the draw...Canada doesn't even get the chance to whip on the US until the medal round.

US should win against Latvia and Kakastan, Slovakians maybe and are going to lose to Sweden and Russia.

The Italians should just forfeit all their games now. Seriously, it'll save them a lot of pain.

The Italian team looks more like a Canadian team with Italian last names. Lots of ringers. Not that it is going to help them a bit.

Team Italy's roster...

A couple former NHLers...Jason Muzzatti, goalie and Tony Tuzzolino, forward...both former Spartans.

Finally some hockey I can still get excited about!

Too bad America has about the same chance as a snow ball does in hell to win the Gold. :(

Ahh, hockey, with instead of scores at the bottom of the screen, there will be two rows of stock tickers with one row going faster than the other.

Top of the line coverage right there! :roll:

I would love to hear Mad Money's Jim Cramer call a hockey game.
