Team USA - Sochi Hockey

I am so happy he doesn't have the Declaration of independence written on his mask. Would hate for him to give Russians false hope.

They would have to remove it.

Come on man....I'm not even a hockey fan and I know they are called sweaters....not jerseys.

Every Winter Olympics u get to hear people who don't watch hockey describe the NHL like its still 1975.

@billburr *points at Swedish team* "see, why can't these kind of players play in the NHL instead of the goons?"

@billburr these Olympic hockey fans and media are the ones who want to change the game. The ones who watch 2 weeks of it every 4 years.

Uni Watch: Hockey jersey grades

ESPN is so dumb. Sweden a C? I think they have the best sweaters in the Olympics and much better than ours. Ours is like a Union Pacific ad with stars vomitted across the top.

There's a marked bias against the Scandanavian teams.

Racist.

I concur, the US jerseys look stupid...

Not that long until the US women go up against Finland's women. 3 AM EST, I think?

Bolshoy Ice Dome - 12,000 Capacity - $180 million in construction

Barclays Center is an indoor arena in Brooklyn NY. Costs: $1.2B (opened..... September 2012). I think Rangers/Nets venues. $180M is a bargain.

BTW, your opening thread was EXCELLENT post (and hard working no doubt)............thanks Bucky!

The ladies look solid so far, 3-0 at the 2nd intermission...

 

[EbylHusker]

Faster than Finland, far more aggressive, and better individual skill for the US. Raty can't do much more under the constant onslaught and relatively poor marking from Finland's defense. Gotta feel bad for her, as she's the only one that has kept this from being 6-0 or 7-0.

 

[EbylHusker]

Good win by the US women, though definitely a few questionable bits here and there. Nice first game, though.

 

[MLB 51]

Canadian women's team will be tough to beat. They're very physical. Will be a great match-up.

Thanks.

On the stadium topic I do really like the exterior lighting on Bolshoy. It reminds me of Allianz Arena in Munich. It's home to two bundesliga teams and some German national club games so they change the lighting depending on the home team that night.

They can also do some crazy things with it like imitating the Bavarian flag:

Wish we had some stadiums like that in the States.
