Olympic Excitement

[Grey Fox]

Yeah the hockey game was pretty exciting.  I don't know what the fuck Brodeur was thinking.

Brodeur can't play the puck in the NHL anymore while he fucking loves to do it. In the Olympics he can, so he over does it.

Fucking Brodeur.

I missed the USA-Canada hockey game.

Last week I heard on NPR that Whistler was about to go into foreclosure:

[Grey Fox]

Yes, owner of the resort is out of money.

I missed the USA-Canada hockey game.

You need to find a way to watch a replay of it, then.  It was glorious.

Fucking Brodeur.

Yeah.  I was worried when the game began.  Once it was 3-2 and US got a powerplay, I knew they would score.  Get him out of there.  It's no longer his league, Fleury or Luongo can be better.

MSNBC's bloating about the hockey win annoys me. I love seeing Canadians get their faces rubbed in dog shit, but having an orgasm on TV over a qualifying match seems silly.

i can watch replays of games through CTV's webiste (canadian channel), but with no commentary. Very odd way to watch the hockey game on tv.

X Games are awesome, when are we kicking out all those Downhill races? Racing the clock is boring.

Slovakia will not be a pushover for Sweden, Katmai.

I didn't say they would, that was Vrick.

Canada's weaknesses?  Not so many..
Just scoring, defense and goaltending.  Ouch.

Sweden will not play to Slovakias liking. Tempo will be low and focus on defense, not giving any chances away. Boring you say? Yes, certainly. But I think that's what's going to get us into the semis.

That's about the only way I can watch a college basketball game these days if Dick Vitale is doing commentary.  I have a pre-set on my home theater receiver that does a pretty good job eliminating his rantings.

Canada pays back USA for win in Hockey by winning 7-2 in curling

Canada pays back USA for win in Hockey by winning 7-2 in curling

Except I thought that game would be on tonight.

Honestly, I'm surprised how much curling I've been watching.  I don't usually watch the Briar or the Scotties.

Another victory for America:

Olympic Snowboarder Sent Home After Racy Pics Hit the Web
Monday – February 22, 2010 – 12:04pm

An Olympic snowboarder has left Vancouver following the Internet release of racy photos of him posing with his bronze medal in a bar.

Scotty Lago nabbed the bronze for his snowboard half-pipe last Wednesday. On Thursday, he was snapped in a bar lifting up his shirt and wearing his bronze around his waist while a female fan nibbled on it. He also posted another photo of the same female fan biting the bronze.

After the pics hit the Web, Lago, 22, apologized to U.S. officials and agreed to leave the games. He was not scheduled to compete again.

U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association president and CEO Bill Marolt said in a statement Monday, "Scotty Lago is a great athlete, but with that comes a responsibility of proper conduct and his involvement in this situation is not acceptable. Scotty realizes his conduct was inappropriate. He has formally apologized and also made a decision to leave Vancouver today."
