Sochi Winter Olympics

Although he plays for St. Louis, this kid is 100% CLASS !!!!

After an epic game between the USA and Russia, with TJ Oshie scoring 4 goals out of six, TJ Oshie became a Hero of the Olympics


T.J. Oshie was hailed as an American hero Saturday after his four shootout goals powered the U.S. Olympic hockey team past Russia in the 2014 Winter Olympics. His Wikipedia bio was even changed— albeit briefly — to reflect this new title.






But, as the St. Louis Blues forward told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review’s Dejan Kovacevic, Oshie does not view himself that way. To him, the nation’s real heroes have nothing to do with hockey.

Just had good talk with America’s newest hero. Only don’t call T.J. Oshie that. “The American heroes are wearing camo. That’s not me.” #USA

Team USA, indeed.

NESN


I have watched TJ Oshie come up playing on the St Louis Blues. He is one of the stars on the team and has had some problems for being too much of a partier and missing some practices in the past. But I think he has finally come into his own and is taking his stardom better.

He has become a class act and this just makes me think much better of this young star.

Yeah, only for the semis though. I'm a little disappointed. I wanted the Gold Medal game against them like in Vancouver. No Loonie buried in center ice for 'em this time.

USA woman's team is up against the Canadian team for the G.M. though today at 10am Mountain time.

THAT game should be a knock down, drag out brawl. Then there's the second period ....

Well, seeing that our ladies LOST to team Canada in the Gold Medal game, and our men's team is only playing team Canada for the RIGHTS to go to the Gold Medal game ..... I think we should up the stakes .....

I was really surprised the guys lost to Canada...and to Finland. Damn.

The Finns kicked our ass. If it was a fight it would have been stopped. Tukka Rask played great in goal, too.

Congrats to the winners and better luck next time to team USA - you played well but not good enough to medal. We got to watch some damn good hockey.
