Did everyone see the outrage over the Canadian women celebrating on the ice last night?

Check out the oddball sport Kiwis follow.

I don't get the outrage either, but what are the advantages of slugging down a 2-4 on a frozen surface?


If we have to listen to outrage, it should at least have some stripping action footage to go along with it. Womens' soccer players know how to roll.

Canada up 2-0 over the Slovaks going into the 2nd period... Slovaks look way to defensive.  They need to start taking some chances if they want to succeed.

Beeb, we discussed at work yesterday: what kind of shoes do you guys use for curling? We ruled out spiked golf shoes and bowling shoes.

Yes, they are curling shoes.

One shoe has a piece of teflon on it.  That's your slider.  The other shoe just has a rubber sole with a lot of little pockmarks.  It's called your gripper, as it doesn't really slide at all.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

The Rematch is on!

There's a real possibility that Gold-Silver-Bronze will be the same in both women & men hockey.

Go Canada!

Canada will have something to prove against the US... this is going to be a fantastic Gold medal game!  Congrats to the Slovaks for their best ever finish in the Olympics... they will play for a medal tomorrow and I think they can take the Finns.

Well, unless Tikhonov gets free reign and dictatorial powers again to rebuild the team I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Too much Oligarchy not enough Despotism... They are in Maple Leaf Territory but with Gangsters and KGB, instead of dull witted lawyers.
