wow some fighting going on lol

Holy fuck, our goalie is hot. Not as in good looking, but hot as in can stop the puck. She has an amazing glove hand.

I can't see through her mask, but my instincts tell me she is not a looker. As long as she stops the Americans, she can look like an ogre.

And what's with the 5 on 3's?

it seems like the americans are more puck hungry.

NBC analyst Mike Milbury not a fan of Russia's 'Eurotrash game'

NBC studio analyst Mike Milbury is well-acquainted with controversy. Sometimes he uses shoes in odd ways; other times he's inciting Washington Capitals fans by calling them the "Crapitals" or mixing it up with bloggers outside an elevator. To the hockey community, Milbury is the crazy uncle who embarrasses everyone around him whenever he opens his mouth.

Go back to Tuesday night when Milbury described the pep talk German coach Uwe Krupp likely gave to his team while they were getting rolled over by the Canadians:

"He's asking his guys to just basically be fire hydrants and they're getting peed on right now."

Huh. Interesting twist to the old cliche "They're getting spanked". Definitely more creative and much more imaginative. Give him credit for that.

During last night's Canada-Russia postgame, "Mad" Mike used another set of interesting words while describing the disappointing performance of the Russians in their 7-3 loss, including the tiff between Alexander Semin and Dan Boyle that ended with a slew foot. Here's the text of the entire exchange with Milbury along with Bill Patrick and Jeremy Roenick:

MILBURY: "I was shocked that it was this one-sided and I was really disappointed that these guys came with their Eurotrash game. There was just no heart, no guts, no nothing there to back it up. I mean, Alex Ovechkin was an average player tonight. I know they're going to bounce back, but to be that poor, and to be that intimidiated physically by the Canadians was really as shock to me."

PATRICK: "Did you really say 'Eurotrash'. Did that come out of your mouth?"

MILBURY: "It did."

PATRICK: "OK, just for the record."

ROENICK: "I heard it! I heard it!"

So what should NBC do in this case?

As expected, the outrage over Milbury's use of "Eurotrash" began immediately after the word left his lips. The criticism will only continue to grow tomorrow, especially since it's an off day before Friday's semifinals. Should Milbury be punished for his remarks? Puck the Media's Steve Lepore thinks a simple one-day disappearance should be Milbury's penance:

"Now, NBC can’t wipe Mad Mike off the map completely right here. That’d be overreacting to a single remark, and show NBC as far too hypersensitive, when in the end, it was merely words. Still, something needs to be done. My suggestion: Keep Milbury off the air until Sunday’s gold-medal game. NBC has two days of men’s hockey telecasts left before then, and quietly let Roenick have the show, especially if NBC will use Al Michaels to host the Team USA game again on Friday."

Everyone knows Milbury's purpose on NBC. He's the network's version of an American Don Cherry, minus the awesome fashion sense and detailed hockey knowledge. Milbury is there to be the hated guy and sometimes, as we've seen in Cherry's case on Hockey Night in Canada, opinions can go over the line. In this situation, Milbury tried too hard to bash the Russian's no-show in the one of the tournament's most highly anticipated games and went over the line.

NBC may succumb to the criticisms and take Milbury off the air for a day or the rest of the Olympic. Or they'll just continue to do what they've done best the past two weeks and not listen to anyone.
