OT: An old friend comes back to haunt...
Arturs Irbe, the WALL, the former star for Los Tiburones, stopped 48 (that's forty eight) shots against the US while playing for Latvia, to maintain a 3-3 tie in the first game of the round robin tournament for the Olympics. Talk about impressive...his US counterpart in net only FACED 28 shots today. Granted, thats probably indicative of the quality of defense for each team...but it looks like the wall still has a little left in the tank...
PS- Former Shark Sandis Ozolinsh also assisted on a goal for Latvia, and current Shark Joe Thornton scored a goal for Team Canada in their 7-2 dismantling of Italy.

Hehehe...
On a serious note, the Germans played inspired against the Czechs today. The Czechs and Canadians are clearly the two best teams in the "tournament," with the Swedes a distant 3rd if Forsberg does not play, or a very close 3rd if he does play.

On Hockey.
The Czechs will rebound. A lot of players are new to the team; give them time.
