Congratulations, Alaska's Panties

Congratulations, Alaska's Panties. You beat us at hockey. Thanks to: Rafalski, Miller, Parise and the rest of the Ice Yanks for an incredibly exciting Gold Medal game. Silver sucks, but at least our healthcare doesn't. . .yet.

Hump Day Hockey

Team USA Hottie, Zach Parise

Okay...I feel like a creep...I just referred to a 25-year-old as a hottie. *handslap* He is. *forgiveness*

In addition to being easy on the eyes, Zach is a badass on the ice. He scored both goals today as Team USA blanked Switzerland. The win clinched our boys a spot in the medal round. While I subscribe to the theory that the Olympics were much more fun during the Cold War, I must admit that this Men's Hockey Team has been pretty damn exciting to watch.

According to Wikipedia (my source for information), Zach's middle name is America. Whether or not Wiki is accurate on this factoid is uncertain. If not, he can go back to Zachary Andrew (or whatever) after the Olympics. His middle name is indeed Andrew...to quote a friend: heart-ache.

Congrats and Good Luck to Zach and the rest of the US Men's Hockey Team!!! USA! USA! USA!
