- First show with the new theme, thanks Joé
- I discuss some stupid shit Pierre McGuire said
- Team Canada - thoughts on Marty Brodeur vs. Ryan Miller
- Slovakia vs. Russia
- Sweden vs. Belarus and I can't believe they didn't play Lundqvist after 2002

Note: I cocked up and said that JS Giguere came from Atlanta, not Anaheim, and sorta forgot part of the Finnish team. But I'm doing this to learn, too. So bite me.

Show notes:

- First episode of McGuire Is Terrible, before I had even thought of the name.
- Actually inspired by Shawn Roarke, the managing editor at www.nhl.com, who should never be put on live commentary again.
- Specifically, I discuss the Czech-Slovak game of Feb 17th at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics and how the Czechs have a high-powered offensive lineup but the Slovaks shouldn't be counted out
- I was right, Jagr had 2 points.

Welcome to McGuire Is Terrible

Hello, and welcome to McGuire Is Terrible! This will hopefully be a podcast about the state of hockey. It's called McGuire Is Terrible because I hate Pierre McGuire, TSN/NBC broadcaster who does a lot of colour commentary. In the world of die-hard hockey fans, McGuire is known for his terrible thoughts on hockey and how he's almost always wrong. I figured that it can't actually be that hard to do his job, and so McGuire Is Terrible was born.

I may be inviting more people to join me on staff here, but if it's just me, you might as well relax and enjoy. I'll put up the 2 files I've created shortly...so welcome, welcome!
