Otto Mattick took the reins for the show, so there is no playlist for you.
On the other hand, I got to see some Paralympic Ice Sledge Hockey action at the UBC Thunderbird Arena over in Vancouver. Sweden vs. eventual bronze medallists Norway. What an amazing game! Sweden took an early 1-0 lead which they very nearly held onto until the tail end of the third period when Norway tied things up. The Norwegians outshot the Swedes a gajillion to three over the course of the game, but the Swedish goalie was simply remarkable. Instead of "sudden death" overtime, they went to "sudden victory". Same thing, different language. With the teams going scoreless in the o/t, they went to "winning goals"...so much nicer than "shootout". The first two sledgers for each team scored...the Swedish player came in and rang his shot off the crossbar while his Norwegian counterpart scored on his attempt, making the final score 2-1 for Norway. An incredible game, and a beautiful sport!
