So over the weekend, Craig and I setup a Monday deadline for a recap on the Olympic men’s hockey final between Canada and the United States. Sorry it is late and like Teddy Sarandia, I apologize a thousand times. I could make up an excuse like the fact that the game was so awesome that I needed two days to...

If before the semifinals of the Olympic men’s hockey tournament, you were asked which team would cruise into the gold medal game, smart money would be on Canada, right? They had home ice, were the favorites and had put up 15 combined goals in the first two elimination games. However, it was the plucky...

That’s it. I am done with predictions when it comes to this Olympic men’s hockey tournament.  Before the Games started, I said Russia would beat Canada in the gold medal game.

Four years later, I made my parents bring me to the Boston Garden to watch the 1992 U.S. hockey...

Every two years, the world gets together for the most globalized sports competition in the history of athletic competition. Of course, this year, that multiple-day event begins tonight as the Opening Ceremonies for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada set things off. Of course, it always comes down...
