You'd think they would have pictured them with, oh I don't know, the letters on their jerseys?
Happy for Kelly

As much as I like Kelly, I am not exactly rooting for a team with Lapierre, Raymond, and Derek Roy on it.
Looking at the rosters, I think Sweden takes it. They have the best goalies, the best defense, some talent up front. The Artist Formerly Known As Russia will compete because Kovalchuk is the best player in the tournament and that will take them somewhere. Canada is pretty deep and should be in the running. Dark horse for me is Switzerland if Jonas Hiller gets hot. I don't think the US will go very far.

I was watching curling and switched channels for a minute to see how the Predators were doing. Then I got distracted reading something on my phone and forgot which channel the TV was on. Imagine my surprise when I thought I was watching curling and heard the announcer taking about someone getting slashed on the ankle. 
Full contact curling coming to the Olympics in 2022!

A random toss of the coin is now racist. Just be honored to represent your country and leave it at that.

I can blame him for the way he handled this though.
Hamlin also deserves it, and they tied in a fair vote knowing it would come down to a coin toss. Losing the cointoss and then implying racism on the part of the committee is not a good look.

I completely blame him for his childish behavior and making it about race over a process of a coin toss
I can not disagree with that.
I am familar with the work Davis has done for young athletes in Rogers Park ( far Northside Chicago ) and Evanston.

Hopefully he tells those young athletes that his reaction to this is how NOT to handle it.

As usual the USOC bothched it. Simple solution is to have done what Canada did.....everybody is happy

His stupid reaction is their fault of a process in place? Everyone gets a trophy I guess.
If he won the coin toss he would not have cried racism

I want to see a guy do a figure skating routine in a hockey jersey and sweats, set to the HNIC theme music.
