Here is where we separate the wheat from the chaff.

Who will be posting score updates during the 2am Saturday puck drop USA v. Finland opener?

I'll be awake and watching. I rarely sleep at that time anyway. Have to be out the door a little before 5:00 AM anyway. Hoping it's decided in regulation!

Won't anyone that is awake at 2 a.m. be watching the game instead of checking the forum for score updates?

That is certainly the rational reaction but 2am Sunday morning after Saturday night games for most fans who knows?

I frequently watch DVR'd broadcasts or archived streamed events the next day, but boy can it be hard to get the point across to people that "no, I don't know the score and don't want to know the score." They invariably will riposte with something like "okay, I won't tell you the score, then. Boy, wasn't it awful to lose the game on an easy field goal attempt that John "the Toe" Doe has been nailing all season." Sort of like Jim Mackay saying before they ran the Miracle on Ice game "I'm not going to give away the outcome, but I feel sure you're REALLY REALLY going to want to watch this game."

Wisconsin has nine players and a coach

Five women - Duggan (USA), Knight (USA), Decker (USA), Vetter (USA), Mikkelson (CAN)

Four men - Suter (USA), Pavelski (USA), McDonagh (USA), Stepan (USA)
And USA men's assistant coach Tony Granato.

Also pretty cool that the Badgers boast one captain in Duggan and one assistant in Suter. Suter makes it a fifth straight games with a male Badger in a leadership role (Suter and Rafalski with A's in 2010, Chelios with the C in 1998, 2002 and 2006)

Dunno exact count, but UMD has quite a few, at least two on Canada, two on Russia and some Fins and Swedes on the Women's side.

In the past Harvard was really well represented, but while they still have a good number (4 on the Women's side ?), it's down from past Olympics.

Make that two coaches - Carla MacLeod is an assistant coach for the Japan women's team.

There is no coaching involved...he just sits back and sips his hot cocoa and says "awesome job Nora...that's it...sweet save!"

“Good ice or a hot shower?” Who knew that Warroad and Sochi share the same issue?
