Let's hope Kiprusoff's hangover from partying with the Canadian women's hockey team has worn off

The Finns will need someone in goal who can stop a puck. Maybe Niittymäki can?

I guess if the coach doesn't start him, he will threaten to go home

I hope the team can play a great game for Teemu's last Olympic game! Go Suomi!

That's okay, Hillergirl, I was raised on old movies with the mom I had and fed a steady diet of musicals particularly, though you'd never find John Wayne in one of those. The airport in Orange County where the Ducks play is named after him, so if you happen to fly in there instead of LAX for a visit to watch the Ducks you can see a statue of him out front as well.
So I hear there is a little hockey game tomorrow at noon. You think I should fit it into my schedule?
