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 think 95% is more accurate. The leader of our course rating program shot from the hip and said 90%, but I recently read elsewhere that it is more like 95%. So we spend 4 hours or more on a course with a team of 6 to 8 people to figure out the last few rating strokes as to whether they exist or not due to difficulty. I credit this site/forum for getting my interest up in volunteering for my state association. I am marshalling for the US Mid Am qualifier later this morning 15 min from my home. We get shirts, hats, 1/4 zips, a cart with our name on it, a radio, lunch and unlimited snacks all while watching some great golfers. 🙂

    • Day 2: August 12.  I did 25 balls of the ruler drill from LSW for putting.  24 of the 25 stayed on the ruler through 36" but some were smoother than others.  I suspect if the ruler (and goal) had been 48" far fewer would have stayed on.  I'm trying to go by sound, and not look, since when I attempt short putts, I don't want to look (although now I wonder if that's conventional wisdom that turns out to be wrong). 
    • Day 17: did mirror work while watching TV. Working on wrist feels.
