Not if you're  Canadian or Russian.

I'm not sure about Russia, they've traditionally been competitive in the overall medal picture.

They're trying their best, but they were educated in the United States.  We're lucky they managed to spell everything correctly.

It'd be nice to see a plucky underdog pull off an upset in hockey...like these Fins vs. Canada.  ;)

If Finland can win, the only way the US will play Russia, Canada, or Sweden is in the gold medal game. Assuming Russia doesn't totally choke, they would play Canada in the quarterfinals.

Come on Finland!  :)

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Nice to see Teemu Selanne still out there.  Almost makes me feel young for a guy that old to be playing.

Watching the hockey game on the big screen while keeping an eye on 2-man bobsled on my tablet.  Jamaican team just went through and were terrible, God bless 'em :)

I was annoyed that Slovakia left out Miroslav Satan. Oh the puns I could have used.

You dont understand how important hockey is to the Russians. 

And you dont understand that Canada had the most gold medals in the last Winter Olympics.

Wow, women's super-g is such a clusterfuck.

Conditions from top to bottom were ridiculously different, especially as the day went on.

That super-hot-ass young Austrian lady, though, was incredible.
and the horse you rode in on

I only saw the start and deemed it unworthy of my attention what with 9 out of 10 not finishing, but wow, you are very correct.
