The Blog for the Sports Gamer Three guys who love Sports Gaming rant and rave about various stuff.

Friday afternoon notes

- So, as far as the women's gold medal hockey game yesterday, it was clear that the Canadians were just the better team.  When you're able to kill 2 - 5 on 3 penalties while only allowing 1 shot, you are clearly in control of the game.  The U.S. team was good, just not as good as Canada.

Still it was a great tournament to watch, even if only for that game.  I wish that they could have played each other more than once... but it wasn't in the cards.

- Speaking of hockey, I'm sitting and watching the U.S versus Finland game.... and thinking that I could have played better in goal for the Fins in the first period.  Good lord... 6-0 after 13 minutes of hockey.  That is just insane.

Certainly looks as though we're going to see the U.S. playing for the gold medal on Sunday against the winner of the Canada/Slovakia game.

- If you are an RTS fan, Dawn of War II is on sale for 5 pounds on THQ's UK site.  I was able to pay for it with Paypal and take the key that was emailed to me and load it into my Steam account.  $7 for a Relic RTS game is an awesome deal.  Plus, I will get my first ever Games for Windows achievements... when I play it.  heh.

- I'm headed up to St. Cloud for some hockey with the family this weekend.  Hope you all have a great weekend.  I'm going to get back Sunday night and will put in some more time on MLB2K10 when I do.
