Since the VCR hit the scene in 1956 man has faced a dilemma - take the news as it comes or try to avoid everyone and everything that might ruin the surprise you have waiting for you at home on your VHS tape. It's something that's been featured in almost every sitcom from the Cosby show to Step by Step to Family Matters. It's the kind of thing Elvin ruins when you have a 3 foot long hoagie in front of you and a 2 liter bottle of grape soda, just about to press play and relive the game as if it were actually happening.
So what are you going to do tomorrow? I know it's just Switzerland, but it's the Olympics! Once every 4 years! The US is only guaranteed 4 meaningful games. So how can you miss one? What are you, a Rosenberg?
But at the same time between Twitter, NHL.com, and a thousand other sites you could probably get updates and critiques on each cross over Ryan Kesler takes during warm-ups within seconds.
I've made my decision. I'll be sitting at work tomorrow at 3 when the puck drops between the USA and Luca Sbisa. And I've decided to take the fool's road and totally go offline, turn my phone off, and wear night vision goggles (not sure how that will help). Do you have the strength (or space to DVR 6 hours of USA broadcasting) in order to relive every moment of Team USA's opening game of the 2010 Olympics as if you weren't trapped in the rat race?
Let's go Miller. Let's go Gleason (what?). Let's go Johnson & Johnson. Let's go (ugh) Orpik. Let's go Rafalski. Let's go Suter. Let's go Whitney. Let's go Brown. Let's go Backes. Let's go (christ) Callahan. Let's go Drury. Let's go Kane. Let's go Kesler. Let's go Kessel. Let's go Langenbrunner. Let's go Malone. Let's go Parise. Let's go Ryan. Let's go Pavelski. Let's go Stastny.
This would be nothing short of a modern day miracle as Canada is a modern day Russia compared to this US team.
USA.
