Two Down, Canada To Go: USA 6 / Norway 1

Wanted: More Patriots in Pucks

Like a good many other American hockey fans, I’ve been underwhelmed by NBC’s hockey coverage during this first week of the Winter Olympic Games. Bumped off the big channel for ice dancing was the first indignity. Then last night, after a particularly long and trying day at work, I sat down to watch Nick Backstrom [...]

Americans Open Tourney With Win: USA 3 / Switzerland 1

Chance To Look Real Red, White and Blue Good for These Winter Olympics

I think there’s a Canuck broadcaster in town I need to [...]
