Snowmageddon -- The Movie.
Had to post this.
This is worth more than a few laughs. From our boy Benson:
Incredible hahhaa, the ending maybe the funniest thing we've ever seen.
Go Country.

RECAP -- DAY 3: Sid
Goosebumps when that puck hit the twine.
But the backstory is what is so great. Sid, Toews, and Getzlaf no dice.
Freed from the shackles of NHL shootout rules, coach Mike Babcock of Red Wings fame wanted Sid.
Again.
Clicking that link is a great way to spend some time this Friday morning.
Now all that's missing is the handshake line after Canada beats Sweden.
Only thing to look at coming out of the USA game
is them padding a potential goal-differential tiebreaker if it comes to that.
The first "upset" of the Tournament.
AO couldn't get the job done.
Geno no dice with the game on the line.
After the jump, some statistical breakdowns.
And some clarification on points.

Day three of the tournament.
NHL.com has their IMPACT! magazine online.
This month has an Olympic preview.
RECAP -- DAY 2: DOUBLE J
We have been excited for these Games for years.
And as much as we wanted to see Malkin, Crosby, and whoever play, there was one man we wanted to see.

Day Two.
The six teams that didn't play yesterday face off against one another.
How will today's games impact your Rinkotology team?
For those who were asking us, bonus points for game-winning goals are only awarded for overtime or shootout goals.
RECAP -- DAY 1: Powers Open Up Strong
Yesterday felt like March Madness. And while the games weren't that good, it was just incredible and bizarre to watch some of the best players in the world on the ice with each other.
Easily the most competitive of the three games.
Team USA got off to a slow start, but they took over in the second period.
The Swiss actually had some decent chances, but Ryan Miller was sharp.
Bobby Ryan looked good. Ryan Malone got a goal. David Backes had the game-winner.
Canadians were starting to squirm and then all of a sudden took over.
Crosby had 3 assists, and his linemates, Nash and Jarome Iginla, were unreal.
At one point Mike Richards took a shot with0 Crosby driving to the net.
Life made no sense.
Much like the Canada game, the Russians were kind of like whatev.
Then they turned it on.
A.O. answered an early third-period Latvia goal, and things blew up.
Malkin was everywhere.
Guy that probably killed or helped your Rinko team:
As you'll see below, having A.O. as your captain is lights-out.
The Rinko boys are exploring the implementation of a "search" feature to find your friends' teams.
As well as a "share this" link for your team that you'll be able to share.
In first place before Wednesday's games:
Holding a slim 0.8-point lead over second place.
Go country.

We'll be doing gameday posts each day of the Men's Hockey Tournament.
Why only the men?
To keep Charlie happy and because it's the only one featuring NHL players.
We'll probably do a gameday for the Women's Final.
The Steel cage is lowered.
Rinkotology is closing at 3:00 pm.
Thank you to everyone for joining.
Check back around 7pm for the first update. The site has to go through some final maintence so don't be alarmed if you can't log in until then.

Huge thanks to everyone who has signed up so far.
This is going to be insane.
If you haven't signed up, you have until 3:00pm Eastern on Tuesday, Feb. 16th.
Some housekeeping:
1. You can submit up to five entries. You'll simply need a different username for each team. You can use the same e-mail.
2. Currently we are unable to process American Express.
3. There have been roster changes. NHL.com.
There's a decent chance it may have affected your Belarus pick.
The changes will be reflected on Rinko sometime throughout the night Monday.
4. Do your research on your goaltending situation.
For example, Luongo is starting the first game for Canada. Brodeur starting second game.
The hype around the games have been awesome thus far, and it is only going to get bigger.
Thanks again for playing.
