USA vs SUI
More on the women's hockey. So far the US team really looks dominating. 12:09 into the 1st period and they're up 1-0, but they're really owning this game.
One of the reasons I do watch women's ice hockey is because these are amateurs. They are college students and the like who are playing their hearts out for a dream. They're NOT professional athletes -- I strongly believe that no professionals should be allowed anywhere near the Olympics. And "elbowing?" That's illegal? The Swiss had a penalty called on them because one of them elbowed one of the US team in the head and knocked her down. I thought that was encouraged in hockey. I wonder if that's an Olympic rule. Update: Domination by the US team, winning 6-0. VERY one-sided game. At one time, the US team had two players in the penalty box and STILL scored a goal. Very dominating.

I don't care if there are professionals or not in the olympics. They're just games.

I still love the stories of the non-professionals who overcome all obstacles and train, while NOT being paid, just for the love of the game. Yes, they're games, but they are the best athletes in the world -- party because they're not being paid.

Elbowing in the head? That's cool. Once they start skating on the head, that's where I draw the line.

I can't understand why there was a penalty called!
