2010 Vancouver Olympics: USA vs Canada (Men's Hockey)
Will you now do the Mark Messier thing and guarantee to our readers that the United States will medal? [Laughs] Yeah, OK: I think the United States will medal. I'll guarantee that. Awesome. And beyond that, will you also guarantee that we'll beat the Canadians? I guarantee that we'll beat the...
Sorting Out the Seeds in the Olympics - UPDATE at End
Team USA's surprising 5-3 win (I won't dare call it an upset on the scale of the Miracle on Ice in 1980) over Canada did more than send waves of uncertainty through Canada.

U.S. Olympic Team: Panthers need not apply
Ok. So Florida's Keith Ballard didn't make the cut. We can live with it.
