the ice crew, since the game is basically over, but I wouldn't be against more and more goals from the guys in navy blue.

Olli Jokinen searching for a way to get ejected so he can leave the game and NOT drink beer

2/26/2010 4:08:49 PM

2/26/2010 4:09:11 PM

2/26/2010 4:09:45 PM

holy shit.... just saw the score

2/26/2010 4:29:54 PM

i loathe gary bettman

2/26/2010 4:30:45 PM

I don't get the anger over what's going on right now. The NHL will be at the 2014 Olympics; I don't think there's any chance of it not happening. But in the meantime, the league has leverage. Leverage against the players, and perhaps also leverage against NBC. You want us to send our players to the Olympics? How bout organizing your schedule so curling doesn't run 20 minutes into every game. Show all the games live. Show more games on NBC.

2/26/2010 4:35:32 PM

Has the NHL decided if players will be allowed to play in 2014?

Has NBC decided if it will cover the 2014 games?

[Edited on February 26, 2010 at 4:36 PM. Reason : s]

2/26/2010 4:35:33 PM

NBC's contract expires in 2012, so no, it's not decided that they will be doing the games in 2014.

2/26/2010 4:36:43 PM

Yeah I forgot about that; bidding for 2014 and 2016 will take place sometime this year. I guess replace NBC in my comment with whatever network ends up with it (I bet NBC will get them again).

2/26/2010 4:38:05 PM

I know, I was just pointing out that as soon as Al asked Bettman about the NHL in 2014, Bettman countered with the NBC question.

[Edited on February 26, 2010 at 4:39 PM. Reason : woot]

He wasn't referring to the Olympics, but to the NHL on NBC contract.

2/27/2010 9:11:24 AM

2/27/2010 9:56:31 PM

^Finns* And +1

2/27/2010 10:00:06 PM

2/27/2010 10:37:15 PM

okay, this is the last time i'll bitch about jussi not making the team

but you think the coach still thinks they have plenty of scoring power without him?

[Edited on February 27, 2010 at 11:52 PM. Reason : i will criticize jalonen more if it continues to translate to better play]

[Edited on February 27, 2010 at 11:55 PM. Reason : see, two jokinens would be even better]

2/27/2010 11:43:14 PM

Pitkanen with "the play" to Jokinen, clearly not realizing that it was the wrong one. Nice comeback win.

2/28/2010 12:35:45 AM

what are you talking about? if we hadn't beaten canada last week, it would have been harder for us to be playing for a gold right now.
