Olympic Excitement

[Grey Fox]

The long track relay was weird too, as it wasn't really a relay- everybody on the team skated together the whole way.

That's why it's not called Relay but Pursuit. It's a lot like cycling of the Summer Olympics.

Apparently, 13 Gold ties a record. If Team Canada wins tomorrow, the record is Canada alone.

I have confindence in our team but never sell the bear's pelt before killing said bear.

Or in other words, never bake a seal's cartilaginous flipper knuckles into a nasty pie until you've clubbed the shit out of that cute little seal's head.

Seal's are rats of the sea, no one wants to eat rats.

Well i'm pulling for Canada but unlike CC I definitely don't think it's a given.  If anything the US has the edge going into the game despite them calling themselves the underdogs  of this tournament.  Team Canada has their work cut out for them.  Whoever wins i'm looking forward to the game... this is going to be awesome!

[Admiral Yi]

I'm calling it 3-2, 4-3 Canada.

When is kick off?

Miller stood on his head last game.  Have you forgotten how badly the Americans were outplayed.  With Luongo in net the Americans wont have the edge in net anymore.

Also, Team Canada has already beat the best team in the tournament.  The only way this is even close is if Miller stands on his head again.

I'm still trying to figure out how that stick got up Jokinen's ass (where his head usually is) to hit him in the face.  It seems to have knocked the douchebaggery out of him for a game, though.

Which bums me out -- I was rooting for Slovakia.  Had they won then all six Blackhawks playing in the Olympics would have brought home medals.  Oh, well.

As for Canada/USA tomorrow:  Enjoy your mulligan, Frostbacks.  If at first you don't succeed...

Shit, the women's team pursuit (speed skating) was  a bit of a heart stopper yesterday.

First the 16 time champion Friesinger, obviously totally exhausted, almost cost the German team the win in semifinal, when she crossed the finish line like this:

...but the lead was still 0.2 seconds (the clock stops when every person of the team has crossed the line - strategy is usually to race in a pack, with the leader catching the headwind and the others following him or her; they usually alternate lead during the race).

For the final she was substituted (every team has four skaters) and at first it looked like the Japs would score an easy win, leading by almost 2 seconds (which is huge in a 2400 m race), but on the last two, three laps the Germans fought and crossed the finish line 0.02 seconds before the Japanese.
