Vancouver Olympics Discussion

Seriously. I don't understand the outrage. The Women's team worked their ass off. If anything this should be an example to our me first, give me, give me culture. That if you work hard, you deserve to party harder. Not the.. Let's go to Oprah and have her give me a car and people look at me and feel sorry for me.

I'm proud of our women. They brought home the gold and set an amazing example to Canadians everywhere of what we can achieve, if we just put a little more blood, and sweat into our day to day lives.

They're hockey players. Beer is expected. I heard they were trying to drive the Zamboni.

Were they singing this?

Has anybody heard about the "controversy" of Canada's women's team celebrating at centre ice an hour after all the fans had left the building? Seems like people are making a mountain out of a mole hill to me.

I don't see the problem. They were just celebrating their victory. I have a bit of a problem with how the U.S. women reacted. I know they were disappointed, but did they all have to look like they were sucking on lemons when they received their silver medals?

Spoiler: USA vs Finland

For fuck's sake, what are you doing, Finland?? That's starting to look like women's hockey.

 

[WeAreTheBorg]

This is surprising to me. I thought they might win, honestly. Never seen a goalie pull himself before...

 

[Roger Wilco]

Unfuckingbelievable.

 

[BigFoot]

Yay for Kipper.

 

[Roger Wilco]

Are you kidding me, another one? What the fuck is going on there? I don't think I've ever seen a 6:0 in the first third and I've seen some godawful hockey games.

 

[BigFoot]

^ Yeah I mean even when we played Canada we only lost 5:1.

 

[SmoothieX]

Damn, I was caught up in something at work and didn't get a chance to turn the game on nbcolympics.com until after the start. It was already 6-0. Awesome. Not much reason in heading to a sports bar with some guys after work though like we were thinking.

Go USA!

That goalie near the end of the US line (sorry dont know her name) seemed to get how good a silver medal is. Her happy reaction saved it, the whole audience appreciated her for it. Good for her.

Not unheard of. I've seen Brodeur do it on occasion.

 

[Trippy]

Intense women's curling final!

 

[Roger Wilco]

Unlucky for the Canadians, one mistake at the end of regular "time" and they're done. The Swedes didn't get the slightest bit nervous though.

 

[Trippy]

Wow right down to the last rock in an extra end, but it's silver for Canada!

Congrats to Sweden. Tough game!

 

[Roger Wilco]

Alright, go Canada, whatever. The North American showdown is inevitable anyway.

 

[Trippy]

1-0 Canada so far in the 1st

eta: er, 2-0

 

[Roger Wilco]

I think it's a plot of NBC to increase the ratings.

 

[BigFoot]

^ lol

Well I guess they need all the help they can get.
