Moscow Nights*

Nothing tonight in the 'Merican League, but the 'Mericans beat Slovakia (couple of points for Phil Kessel and Brandon Bochenski) and saw the Czechs go down to Germany today. Roman Cechmanek faced just 18 shots. The Czechs still have to face the Canadians and their former countrymen, the Slovaks. (Of course, the Americans still have to face the Canadians and, um, the Germans.) Sweden stood up to a challenge from Denmark, came back from 2-0 down in the first 6:40 and beat the Danes 5-2; Frans Nielsen had but one shot on goal, while Tarnstrom had an assist, and the Jonsson Brothers combined for the first goal. And Finland beat Switzerland 2-0.

Although the Italians could still throw a monkey wrench in at some point, Switzerland-Denmark could be essentially an elimination game Saturday morning.

Hip surgery for Rick DiPietro; he's supposed to be ready for next year.

The Virginian Pilot wraps up seven years of Blackhawks prospects in Norfolk with a few seven-deep lists: memorable moments (headed by the brawl with Lowell, a pic of which was by accident briefly on the lead story), top players, and, um, awards winners.

*-Song's been in my head lately. Don't think it has to do with the tourney...
