For what I understand the brackets was based on the standings on the preliminary rounds.

The losing team between US and Canada gets to keep Justin Bieber. :)

Ha!  They will fight to the death!

It was on the news paper this morning... not sure I want to bet, Justin seems to like staying in the USA (maybe a little too much).

IF the US men beat the Canadian men, can we all agree that Russia then gets Bieber?  Canada women won their game, so it would be split.

This is on TV live, so there's no spoiler restriction here, right?

Streaming it on my phone via the NBC Live Extra app.  Its easier to pretend that I'm doing work when I can at least have work on my computer screen.

1-0 Canada, 3 minutes into the second period.

Canada having the better of it so far. Quick has had to be very good in goal.

Edit: There's 8:42 left in the second period and there has been 3 stoppages in play. End-to-end hockey action.

Edit: I hate Sidney Crosby as much as a casual hockey fan can.

I have to say that the US has a pretty damn good team this year. But Canada seems to be in control for the most part. :-)

Anyone else having difficulty breathing between whistles? What a game, so far!

That second period took all of about 25 minutes to play.

    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.

    • Thanks man, sometimes it’s hard to improve bc when I’m not feeling comfortable I don’t like practicing bc I get frustrated. Any advice?
