Go ahead, call me sexist, but women playing ice hockey still seems odd to me. Don't get me wrong, they can certainly play, but it's still just not "normal."

That said, the Russian-Sweeten game is not too bad. It appears slower than the men's game, and there's certainly drastically less contact. Nice shooting by the Sweeten women, though. The Russian goalie is pretty good, but the Sweedes are really tossing that puck into the goal.

It's currently 2-0, Sweden leading, in the 2nd period.

Update: Sweden wins, 3-1. Not a bad game -- in the last period it got pretty competitive!

Next up (12:00pm EST): USA vs. Switzerland. The US is heavy favorites, but the Olympics are full of upsets...

1 Some things are just not meant to be. Women's ice hockey is one of them. I didn't realize that Title IX reached all the way to Turin.

2 Now if it was topless women's hockey I'd watch but that's just me.

4 Hahaha! Trench, topless hockey?! Sure. While we're at it, let's introduce the Lingerie Luge, and the Crotchless Cross-Country Skiing.
