Games 7 & 8 are over and another day is done. First game of the day we saw Team USA beat Finland 5 -0. The ladies are now 3 -0 and look pretty strong, they should play for the Gold medal. Game 8 we saw a pretty good game with teams that had not one a game, Russia 2 - China 1. The big news of the day was the Canada men's team got a real scare against Switzerland, Canada won in a shoot out 3 - 2. We just watched the first upset of the tournament the Russian men's team lost to Slovakia also in a shootout, but this one took 7 attempts. The Olympic format has each team gets 3 attempts, if no winner has been determined, it goes to sudden death shootout one at a time. I know its pretty late, but I hope some of you were able to watch the game. The four of us are settling in, getting used to our jobs. The problem is, we don't know what day it is, what teams we just watched or even what the score was to game we just did! It is going by so fast, we are scheduled for 15 game and we've already done 8. We are all hoping that the hockey gods will bless us with a Gold medal game, we will just have to wait and see. I've attached a few photos take today, a group tail gating prior to the USA game, the TBird statue outside the rink, and the Russian men's team arriving at UBC for practice. They dress in their locker room at CHP and they get on a bus to their practice rink. That bus must smell real nice! Good night all.
