Sweden just scored 3 times in about 2:30 in the semi final.  Now lead the US 4-0.

Hope we play better against the Swedes, compared to the games we played against the USA before.

Was down to Buffalo and watched the Canada vs Denmark game with my son. The Canadian team rolls 4 really good lines and they play well together. Much more cohesive than I’ve seen before.  We also saw the Czechs vs the Swiss on New Year’s Eve. Scouting report and prediction : Canada by 2 goals vs the Czech Republic.

I hope you're right, AC.  Assuming they get by the Czechs tonight, I think they will have their hands full tomorrow against the Swedes.

Yes. The weather was brutally cold when my son and I watched the CAN vs DEN  game. Lots of snow squalls, too. Made for interesting driving, including the drive from/to Ottawa.

Sunny and -18.  Perfect day to...defrost the freezer, because I can put everything in coolers on the deck, and they won’t thaw.

Yes I  was wondering that too. With the quality of today's fridges they still do ice up. Something to do with the door weatherstripping being defective.

Apparently autocorrect on my iPhone resulted in me “leaving a BMW” for someone.

Someone at work brought in a local agribition sale flyer - from 1987.  21" RCA TV - $499 on sale, has remote!  Typewriter: $600.  RCA 4 head VCR! $899 on sale, regular price $999.  Holy fack how did my parents afford one of those back then!   :rofl:  I remember I bought a complete 4-5 piece Yamaha home stereo system back then, was over $2500, all the components were separate.  You can probably spend $50 on a Bluetooth speaker for your phone that puts out almost as much sound now.  I have it in my garage. 
Shingles were cheap - just over $8/bundle.  Electronics though, yikes.

That's why we share so well.  Only one VCR in the house!  Many kids today struggle with this.  Their own phone, tablet, cable, PVR, laptops, etc.

IMO, people now don't care what music sounds like so don't have stereo systems.  They listen to tinny crap and rap on a crappy $50 Bluetooth speaker and think it sounds good.

High quality expensive stuff are still available.  People just buy what suit their tastes and budget.
