I think the Canadians are still the favorites in most people's eyes, but they need to get over what appeared on Sunday to be an unfortunate case of pressure anxiety. Brodeur has hat a pretty terrible save percentage in the Olympics so far, so switching to Luongo might aid the team.

That said, being a Caps fan, I hope the Russians knock them out.

I just watched the Ice Dancing free skate of the Canadian and the USA pairs. I LOVE "Music of the Night" and I thought Meryl & Charlie's performance was fantastic. I didn't really care for Belbin and Agosto's performances, and it seems that's all we heard about - Meryl & Charlie should've been the ones hyped up.

Tessa & Scott of Canada - absolutely stunning performance! Elegant, graceful, moving. Gold medal all the way.

I can't wait until tomorrow!!!! What is it they say about revenge - it's a dish best served cold, as in on ice!!!!

Good luck to both the USA and Canada. Of course I am counting on the Canadian boys to come through!

BTW - Ryan Miller is the best player in the tournament, and will be the NHL MVP this year...
