SportsFilter: The Monday Huddle:

A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.

Both US Olympic hockey teams were invited to attend the State Of The Union speech tomorrow.

Totally predictable grasping for spectacle and basking in the glow of achievement by association.

Women's team has "respectfully declined" due to prior commitments.

Flights back to the US from Italy couldn't land in NY or DC as planned, had to be diverted south to Atlanta or Miami.

Hoping the weather gods make attendance an impossibility. NHL games restart on Weds.

Meanwhile, the US Mint has just issued a commemorative one dollar coin called the Hella Buck.
