So there's a wee little game going on today at noon, huh? I have officially cleared my schedule and everyone at my house knows I have dibs on the big screen HD screen. Go USA!

Been having an emotional day with some sad memories bubbling to the surface, so I've been looking forward to this game all day as I'm sure I'll cheer me up.

I reckon it'll be a close game with a lot of ups and downs for both teams. Good luck to our Ducks ots.gif

Let's go Canada. lets go happydance.gif

Okay, why does my info button say Winter Olympics on the local NBC station but they are playing Monk? They better fix it by noon.

Maybe they figured they couldn't match the hype that is going on in Canada so they didn't even try. Maybe the game is fixed already and the build up to this game is really all for naught.

Just noticed on the BBC that the refs for this game are going to be Canadian

One of them, Bill McCreary, reffed the Canada-US gold medal game at Salt Lake City 2002 as well. Canada won that game 5-2.

You would think they would choose non canadian or US refs for a game like this, but then again it is the IOC...
