    I don't follow Hockey but the Ruskies posses maybe the best player in the world in Ove what's his name. Canada's Crosby used to be that guy, maybe the Canuks are just pissed. Ruskies and the Canadians were the pre-Olympic favorites.


    We'll have to wait for gipper and/or Bobda to give us the real lowdown.

    Feeling around here is that the Russians looked like they had played the day before and the Canadians played like they were coming off a bye. The Maple Leaf guys have done this before, losing early then coming on to win it all. If they get to the finals against the USA, Miller had better be doing his best Jim Craig impression. He's going to be under assault.

    Terry, I will be happy if we can make it to the Gold medal game. Our team's strength is youth and speed, physical play, and great goaltending. Finland has traditionally been the most physical of the European teams and mass produce great goaltenders. Their overall skill level probably is superior to ours. We are going to be in a dogfight.

    Canada is now on a roll and took apart a Russian team that most thought was an even match for the Canadians. They also caught a real break with Slovakia upsetting the Sweden. The Canucks will have an easy time in their semi final game and will be rested and ready to rock-and-roll if they see us in the finals.

    Brouder had a horrible game against us while the old MSU goaltender stoned the Canucks. The thing that gives me some optimism is that we are younger and faster than them which is to our advantage given that we are playing on a larger ice surface and will not be physically intimidated by them. But, given their skill level and how pumped up the Canuck crowd will be to beat us, Mike's analysis is on the money.

    Well, so much for my hockey knowledge. I am at work but logged onto ESPN to check the score.

    6-0 USA in the first period!

    (1) The option for white font color is there. If it can't be used, why do we have that option?

    (2) After I posted it, I have a very cloudy blue color that shows up on my background, so I can see it, Anybody else?

    (3) The jist of my post was obvious, and I wasn't going to make the friggin' font color green or orange.

    the posting panels alt between off white and blue, so the white text shows up well on every other panel.

    I forgot about the LCD angle issue. How visible the white is regardless of the panel is dependent on the viewing angle on a LCD screen. It was almost 2 a.m. here in the Emerald Isle when I posted that. :oops:

    There are no white panels on my display...I get alternate light blue and VERY light blue panels.

    The white letters look a little dim, but hey...it's AJ.
