TSN doesn't give any more info, but they have only one semi-scheduled, so it will 
probably be the Canada game, as TSN is a Canadian network.

Does anyone have any information on these two players and why they are not 
playing for the USA in Mississauga. I know Looney was having shoulder 
troubles but haven't heard anything on Merz. Any info would be appreciated.

Canada 4, Sweden 0 after two periods.

USA losing to Finland 3-2, late in the third period. If that result holds
up, Canada could be playing the USA in the semis on Saturday.

Subject: Re: embarrassing moments

Here's a good one -

We were scrimmaging during a practice last winter.  The rink we were playing 
on is not a "hockey" rink - it is about twice the size of a regulation rink, 
and has no markings on the ice or along the boards.

We had no goalie - so we flipped over the nets -  the open part was facing 
down on the ice, and the top of the net was facing forward.

I was playing D, unaware of how far I had backed up - due to the odd size of 
the rink and lack of markings.   Well, I backed up jsut a bit too far, and 
fell backwards right into the net!  I was flat on my back, with my butt was 
in the loose part of the net, with my legs hanging over the top - the bar was 
in the crease of my knees. I was laughing so hard -  I could not get up.  It 
took 2 teammates to help me up (after they stopped laughing - or at least 
controlled their laughing.)

<<  I would hate to see her  quit because someone put ideas in her head that 
she shouldn't play.   (She  mentioned too that her girlfriend at school 
teased her because she plays  hockey, and that it hurt her feelings.) >>

I don;t have any kids, but I was one once, and still act like one, so here's 
my take on the situation:

Rule # 1 of being a kid - find another kid who is different from you, or does 
something that you only WISH you could do, and do everything you can to make 
them feel like an outcast.    Makes you feel better, doesn't it?   It's a 
hard lesson in life, but kids will ALWAYS find SOMETHING to tease you about.  
 

Seriously - You should tell Rachel that the kids who tease her because she 
plays hockey are jealous because they don't have the courage to go out there 
and try it themselves.  

Now - as for gettign her to play on the team.  Definitely do not force her 
into anything she does not want to do.  (It will cost you lots of $$ for a 
good therapist 10 years from now.   And any decent therapist will blame 
everything on you anyway.)  But,  I think that you should be "busy" the next 
time your husband is coaching that team.  Rachel should go to practice with 
him and her brother.  She will sit there and watch them.  If she knows most 
of the kids, has played with them already,  and sees how much fun they are 
having, she will probably  be BEGGING to play.  It will be her idea, not 
yours.

Hope this helps.

Jill

Subject: Russia-Germany Game

Russia 7, Germany 2
Germany falters to Russians

        By SPIRO PAPUCKOSKI -- SLAM! Sports

 OSHAWA -- Between a team that is having monetary
problems developing their game against a team that is
simply still growing theirs, the game was shaping up
to be an interesting match.

 However, that was not the case.

 Russia opened the floodgates in the second and third
period, beating Germany 7-2 at the Oshawa Civic
Auditorium Thursday night in the Women's World Hockey
Championships.

 Russia's Ekaterina Smolentseva registered a hat trick
and added an assist and Ekaterina Pashkevich added two
goals, while Irina Gachennikova stopped 22 of 24 shots
for her first win in the tournament. 

 Smolentseva, an 18-year-old who plays club hockey
with Spartak Ekaterinburg, was named player of the
game for Russia. Raffaela Wolf was honoured for
Germany.

 The game started out sluggish, with six penalties
assessed in the first period. But Russia did manage to
get on the scoreboard on the powerplay late in the
period when Oksana Tretiakova tipped in a point shot
that trickled past German goalie Manuela Hirschbeck. 

 Russia made it 2-0 just four minutes into the second
on Smolentseva's first of three. But Germany narrowed
the margin back to one midway through the game on a
great individual effort by Maren Valenti, flipping the
puck over a sprawling Gachennikova. 

 Then the Russians scored two goals in less than two
minutes late in the second to put a 4-1 strangle hold
on Team Germany entering the third. 

 Germany inserted Stephanie Wartosch-Kurten in net to
start the third, who did not help out her team by
allowing three goals on 11
shots. 

 Overall, there were 28 minutes in penalties called
during the game. 

 Germany will face China at 4 p.m. while Russia takes
on Japan later at 7:30 p.m. in the relegation round
Friday in Mississauga.

The following found it's way into my email inbucket.  I thought I'd like to 
share it with the list:


__________________

 You know you're a hockey fan if.....
1.Your idea of serving breakfast is giving each of your kids a fork and 
dropping an Eggo in the middle of the table.
 2.  You punish your kids with "minors," "majors," and "misconducts."
 3.  When you come to a traffic signal and the light turns green, you stop.
 4.  When you come to a traffic signal and the light turns red, you get 
really excited and start cheering.
 5.  You consider the Forum in Montreal a place of worship.
 6.  You keep a picture of the Stanley Cup in your wallet in front of  the 
picture of your family.
 7.  Instead of duct tape, you use hockey tape to fix everything.
 8.  You know the difference between "The Garden," "The Gahden," and  "The 
Gardens."
 9.  You call a trip to the Hockey Hall of Fame a "pilgrimage."
 10. You think the Canadian National Anthem is the
 theme from "Hockey Night in Canada."
 11. You send Gordie Howe a birthday card, yet you can't even remember your 
own family members' birthdays.
 12. All your kids are either named Gordie, Bobby or Wayne.
 13. You went to see "West Side Story" because you thought it was about  a 
game between Winnipeg and San Jose.
 14. You went into a bank because it advertised "Free Checking"....and walked 
out disappointed.
 15. When someone refers to "The Classics," you think they're talking about 
the Original Six.
 16. Your cure for everything is a couple extra-strength aspirin and a shot 
of Novocain.
 17. You can pronounce anything in French, yet you have no idea what it means.
 18. Every time you hear a siren you wonder who scored.
 19. You can say "Khabibulin," "Tkachuk," "Jagr," "Leschyshyn"  and 
"Tverdovsky" without getting tongue-tied.
 20. Every time you see the name "Roy" you automatically pronounce it "Wah."
 21. You're not allowed to play chess simply because the first time you 
played, you misunderstood the meaning of the word "Check."
 22. You think the Four Food Groups are Nachos, Beer, Pretzels and Rubber.
 23. Everything in your wardrobe is your team's colors.
 24. You still remember which teams were in the Patrick, Smythe, Norris and 
Adams divisions and which divisions were in the Campbell and Prince of Wales 
conferences.
 25. You know the difference between "The Edmonton Express" and "The Human 
Express."
 26. You refer to your team's enforcers as "chippy players" and you  refer to 
other teams' enforcers as "f---ing little pieces of monkey s---."
 27. When you're at a game, you're not bothered when your kid says "F---!" 
but when he says "shutout" before the game is over, you threaten to  wash his 
mouth out with soap.
 28. You wonder what Miroslav Satan did to become the Prince of  Darkness and 
Ruler of Hell.
 29. You think the proper way to spell the plural of "leaf" is "leafs."
 30. You can name all the Sutter brothers in order
31.  You hear the name "Gorbachev" and wonder "what team does HE play for?"

========================

btw- # 31 is a "Jill original."     My clock radio went off one morning, the 
first words I heard the announcer say were "Mikhail Gorbachev"  and being 
groggy and having been rather abruptly awoken from a hockey dream, it was an 
instinctive thought.   A few seconds later, I realized the err in my 
ways..........
