    Ryan Kesler says this:
    On to the Olympics and potentially playing for Team USA. What do you think our chances are next year in Vancouver?

    Ah, we're the darkhorse. I think we've got some good young talent, we've got some veteran guys, and I think it's going to be a good mixture. It's a group that'll work extremely hard.

    Will you now do the Mark Messier thing and guarantee to our readers that the United States will medal?

    [Laughs] Yeah, OK: I think the United States will medal. I'll guarantee that.

    Awesome. And beyond that, will you also guarantee that we'll beat the Canadians?

    I guarantee that we'll beat the Canadians.

    I have a Ryan Miller shrine already made in my closet for what he endured in the 3rd last night. The guy isn't human.

    Lol. He reminds me of Jim Craig from the 1980 team for some reason.

    That was a pretty cool game last night.

    Last night's game gained a few hockey viewers, including my 2 roommates. Lets just hope we don't have a letdown in the medal round.

    Still wish Umberger would have kiced his ass when they fought a few months ago.
    I am glad for Ryan and Team USA but I can't stand him. He is one of those players if he is on your side you love him if not you hate him.

    I would bake him in a lemon bar and eat him.
