I have a bunch of photos, but they are all pretty bad quality, as they were taken through netting during the intro ceremony.

I got there super late because 295 was a friggin parking lot, so I didn’t get to meet a bunch of the players who mingled earlier on. (I am devastated about not getting to meet Paul Martin or Beau Bennett)

I got to meet Yandle and Broshie, though! They were super sweet and Broshie is seriously as pretty irl and up close as he is in pictures. (Sadly, I didn’t get any pics of meeting them)

I think I’ll be wearing my Quick jersey while watching the games….

Off the top of my head, the Pens and Wild both had two tabs of their little home-page slideshow things devoted to Team USA, and no Canada!

Haven’t done the cross-referencing to see how much the NHL site differs from the team-specific stuff, but… it’s maybe a start?

He is my most favorite under appreciated Penguin. Because first of all. Minnesota. Second of all, his beard. Third of all. This picture.

That is all.

Would love to see this smart, steady D finally get his shot, especially after his struggles a couple years ago and how hard he worked to return to form in Pittsburgh. A gold medal for Team USA, perhaps followed by a Stanley Cup for the Penguins a few months later, wouldn’t be a bad high point to that redemption story…

Team chemistry is everything (along with pluckiness & heart), and Team USA has it in spades.

Are they accepting applications for curfew/bed check monitors? Otherwise, I’m happy to volunteer to be a WUYS Team USA correspondent. πŸ™‚

It’s not Team Canada… but it’s something πŸ™‚

I like these guys, but not enough to drive the entire 14 minutes from my office to Kettler. Maybe on a weekend, but I’m away next weekend, and… perhaps this is the truest American support I can give Team USA, one based on my inherent laziness and overwhelming desire to vacation.

Remember, I got in trouble last Olympics for my reaction to Crosby’s Golden Goal. I don’t intend to contain myself this time around either.

But no. Of course I was forced to miss something so fabulous happening basically in my backyard.

After all, you have Ryan Kesler’s AWESOME musculature
