the mad sports man

So it's time for a game of catch up (or is it ketchup). Anyways its #BellLetsTalk day. What else happened in January?  The Super Bowl finalists were decided as the Rams and Patriots duke it out. Loads of hockey, with Finland wining the world juniors to the NHL all star game.  My move to Prince Albert and a reminder of how cold the prairies get.  February should be fun. I hope.

The Cowboys are moving on after beating Seattle 24-22. Seattle made it interesting late.  Dallas will get either New Orleans or The Rams in the divisional.

Finland are 2019 world junior champs after beating the U.S. 3-2 in a good one.  Cant remember how many Finland has won.   Next tourney is in the Czech Republic in the cities of Ostrava and Trinic.

Indianapolis is into the divisional round after beating Houston 21-7.  I think they are heading to Kansas City to face the Chiefs.  Coming up is Seattle at Dallas.

Russia wins bronze after a 5-2 win over Switzerland.  Pretty surprised it was as close.  Coming up is the gold medal game.

Finland wins a no doubter 6-1 over Switzerland and will face the U.S. for gold tomorrow night while Switzerland plays Russia for bronze.

The U.S. will be playing for gold after knocking off The Russians 2-1.  They will face either Finland or Switzerland tomorrow night while Russia face the loser for bronze.

With a 4-0 win,  Kazakhstan wins best of three relegation series 2-0.  Kazakhstan be in next years tournament while Denmark is relegated to division 1.

this was all Russia all night as they win 8-2 and will face the U.S. in the semis.  both this and the Switzerland/Finland games are on Friday with the winners playing for gold and losers play for bronze.  so that is it for the quarters.

another close one here. the U.S. ends up beating the Czech Republic 3-1 to get to the semi finals.  they will face either Russia or Slovakia in the semis.  than game should be starting shortly.

Canada had a 1-0 for almost half the game.  Finland ties it with 46 seconds left in the third.  Canada has a chance at one end had has a stick break.  Finland goes the other way and scores.  Finland wins 2-1.  Finland will face the Swiss in the semis.  Canada has to watch the rest of the tournament.   Wow.  This will sting.

and the upset goes to Switzerland as the just beat Sweden 2-0 to go to the semi finals.  last time they were in the semis was 2010.  they lost to Canada in the semis and lost the bronze medal game to Sweden.  huge upset here.
