US / Canadian Border Gold Medal Showdown, 3 Eastern

February 28, 2010

They don’t get bigger than this one, even in the pros, although many of these folks are NHL stars on almost all the Olympic teams, with six of them being top players for the Chicago Blackhawks, which is very cool for the local fans, as the team is one of the league’s best and most surprising this season, just like the overachieving Olympic team.

In fact 6 Blackhawks total, who are pictured below, appeared in these 2010 games, with only 2 being sent home so far, choosing instead to play for their “inferior” Eastern European homelands’ teams instead of the US…haha. Wink lol.

They shake out as follows:  Patrick Kane played for the United States, Marian Hossa and Tomas Kopecky played  for Slovakia, and Jonathan Toews, Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook all play for Canada today. Oh oh. Wink (Blackhawks.com)

The game is this afternoon at 3:15 Eastern and will be pretty near the only few times I’ve turned on the Olympics I’m afraid, as I’ve  basically just turned off by the entire “Bush hating, Obama loving” NBC stable of so called “reporters” who are all there living it up having a good old time while the country suffers from their water carrying.

So good for them I guess since that network and a few others will be seeing fewer and fewer good times up ahead.

The final will be aired live in all time zones by NBC. The firstU.S.-Canada game last weekend was shown on the MSNBC cable network,where it was seen by 8.2 million people, according to the Nielsen Co.That tied election night 2008 as the most-watched event on that
network.

So back to the hockey, as you read, the two teams met earlier and came to a surprising finish with the US winning 5 -3 as the underdogs, so for them to come away this afternoon with a win on Canadian ice against the Canadians in the Olympic Gold Medal Game would be about the “hugest” thing that will happen to these men in their lives I would imagine. It would be if it was me, and 50 million other young and old men I’m sure.

It’ll rank almost right up there I would think with the historic 1980 team out of nowhere win against the hated Soviets.

Go USA baby.

my favorite artists and their music of the R And R era we've experienced the past 50 years. 1000's worth of songs a repertoire I listen to & play as a 25 year guitarist, which I now devote some 1-2 hours a day once again after a long illness rendered my left side paralyzed for a decade... read about at the link below
