Well the Gold drought is over with Canada taking gold in the Men's moguls. Now we can say we won gold at home
I like to think that Quebec won the gold.
I would have voted Oui.

Curling- A close match between Japan and USA in women's curling. US men's team fell short against Germany and if they play the same game will lose to Switzerland.
Hockey- USA men's team had a good game. USA women's destroyed Russia. Looks like the only two competitive teams in women's hockey is Canada and the US. EDIT- You think Canada can take it easy on those poor Norwegians. 8-0 is brutal.

Ya, women's hockey is a 2-team tournament, with Sweden being a distant 3rd. Ya, 8-0 games are almost a waste. The men's tournament is actually pretty deep for talent, but each group should have a team cut out IMO. Belarus, Norway and Latvia are out classed. The opponent teams like Canada have to run up the score though, because Goals For is a tie-breaking stat, so the ammount of goals your team scores could be very important. I'm more worried about the Russia/Latvia game tonight though... That could get really ugly with the scoring talent involved. As for Canada's game tonight, I was really happy to see Bergeron get dumped down the roster, and Iginla get moved up.

Russia raped Latvia. 3 goals in 2 minutes in the third.
That team is just fucking kick-ass to watch.

Yeah, Canada beat Slovakia 18-0...
And it's not like Slovakia is the worst team either...

Great game today for the US. Some mistakes by Canada, but good game overall. The three Canadiens falling over each other was hilarious.

[/quote]Brodeur had some really weird stick handling that game. Even the commentators were like "wtf is brodeur doing jeez"
But seriously - Ryan Miller looks like a beast in the Olympics.

Russia is in the process of firing all of their Olympic staff for such a bad showing at these games, for reals
I would not be surprised at a US/CN rematch in the finals

Canada could have used a little less of the guy on the left, and a little more of the guy on the right.

If anyone is watching the US/Swiss game, that play was ridiculous. Was on the goal line when the clock hit zero though so no goal. :'(
