Putin had to sit and watch that game unfold in front of him. :) Hope he keeps his ol' KGB "friends" and the FSB in check.

What a shootout! Oshie was unconscious. He just kept grinning every time he went to center ice.

Oshie needs full secret service protection after what happened to the Olympic ring operator that screwed up the opening ceremony.

Did he really get whacked; or is that just an urban legend?

pretty sure that was a hoax, but you never know with Russia. i'd think someone on the Russian team might randomly "disappear". unless Putin wants to start WW3 over the Olympics

Hmmmmmmmmmm...from The Daily Currant... :D

Avdeyev was a technical specialist responsible for the Olympic Ring spectacle, which embarrassingly malfunctioned last night. Five animatronic snowflakes were supposed to transform into Olympic Rings. The first four functioned properly but the fifth snowflake failed to change shape.

Although his body was badly mangled and the wounds were consistent with a struggle, so far officials say they don't suspect foul play.

“Sure there were stab wounds and bruises all over the body,” admits the lead investigator on the case. “But who knows what caused them. Maybe he tripped and fell on a set of knives. Right now we’re ruling this an accidental death.

“It’s terrible when accidents like this happen. But then again, maybe Mr. Avdeyev should have thought twice before he screwed up the Olympics. Accidents tend to happen to people who betray Russia.”

Despite the government’s story, fellow hotel guests reported hearing a struggle in Avdeyev’s room around 3 a.m. local time.

They are screaming sour grapes claiming Quick dislodged the net on purpose prior to the goal. Crap on 'em! I say it's poetic justice after the bull feces that took place in 1972 on the basketball court. Payback's a pain... (sorry but young 'uns may be reading).
We don't slide at Appalachian State. It's a sign of weakness.

Do we really care what the Russians think? Outside of the Olympics, do we really ever really consider what they think of us ?

Interesting question for you guys...

Would you rather the US win the medal count, or the Gold in Men's Hockey?

I say the Gold in Men's Hockey, and it's not even close.
