But I forgot to post Mike Font's quick blog posting on hockey yesterday. Here's another issue of Hockey, The Fontanetta Way
okay, i'll be brief b/c i know this topic is not a
hot one:
Ladies olympic hockey! Yes, while watching
isles/devs today on HDTV, I started flicking to see
what else was on. yup, the end of the USA/Swiss
game. USA wins 6-0, outshooting their opponent
56-9! you think that was bad?? Well, the host
country automatically gets its team in, so I
taly is playing canada! does anyone remember the 13-0 score that canada won by over japan in nagano? Well, after the first 7 minutes, Canada led 4-0. It is now 6-0 canada with 13 minutes left in the second. in the first, the Canadians had 21 scoring chances (NOT shots on goal, but legit scoring chances) while the Italians had ZERO! To this point, I think the shots are 35-4, and all four have been bombs from 40 feet or more.

The Italians should get awarded a goal for every time they skate the puck across center ice. They'd still be losing! OUCH!
Incidentally, the isles beat the devs 2-1... yipeeeeee!
As far as gretzky-gate, i have no more thoughts on
the topic than anyone else. let's wait and see for
a few more facts to come out before i start to
really lend an opinion. by the way, in the 5 minutes it's
taken to type this, canada has scored again (7-0)
and the scoring chances board lists 30-1... ad-canada!
Update - The Canadians beat their record at Nagano. They defeated Italy 16-0.
