Around SBN: 2012 Budweiser Shootout Entry List Released

How ridiculous does the IOC look now? They are making Ryan Miller take the phrases "Miller Time" (because it is a beer slogan) and "Matt Man" (who knows why) off of his mask for the Olympics.

The beer slogan being removed is completely understandable. Making him take off the tribute to his cousin, however is ridiculous, especially since they have allowed a similar instance this year. One of the women’s goalies (I forget which team…Switzerland, maybe?) Has “FLM” and the number 23 on the back of her helmet. FLM stands for “Fight Like Matt,” which is a tribute to a would-be para-olympian this year in sledge hockey, but bowed out because his cancer came out of remission. They were talking about it during one of the games I was watching, and said that the IOC almost made her remove it, but did not. I fully support their decision, and hope they reverse this decision when he make his appeal.

The miller time one i can see. But not matt man. Not a huge deal but im sure miller would like to have his cousin. Does he have the clover on there too?

I’m fairly certain that Miller is going to fight the Matt Man one. The Miller time, I think he could care less about.

Matt Man ain't coming off his mask.

Miller’s made it clear how important it is to honor his cousin.
