Around SBN: Jeremy Lin Sets Assist High In Easy Win Over Sacramento

USA vs. Switzerland Game Chat

...is right here.  You can hang out here if you want, but I'm going to be busy scaring my office mates with my random "Fucks!" and "Hopp on my dick, you fucking Swiss fucks!" shouts, so I don't know if I'll be around.  Kings update: Dustin Brown is skating with Ryan Kesler and Jamie Langenbrunner, Jack Johnson seems to be skating with Brooks Orpik, Drew Doughty is pretty much just on the power play for Canada, and Alex Frolov isn't on Russia.

I'm pretty pumped.  I love the Olympics, I love sports, and I love hockey.  This is going to be awesome.

Three pools of four teams, they each play within their own pool. The top team from each pool plus the top remaining team get a bye in the first round of the elimination round, and get to play easier competition in theory.

Goal differential is a tie-breaking factor, so USA shouldn’t let up — they want to win today by as many as possible.

Generally, all the Ducks have had relatively strong games.

Hiller’s let in a couple iffies, but he’s made up for it with general excellence otherwise. Sbisa looks like a noticeable player. Bobby Ryan had a goal but is a bit buried by Team USA depth. And Whitney hasn’t tangibly cost Team USA at all.
