Thoughts on the winter Olympics

[tim k]

sitting here with the wife watching the Olympics I think womens figure skating is more masculine than the mens......we have the hottest women skiers in the world.....shaun white might be the coolest dude ever....it wasn't cool to show that luger get killed on TV....there could be a slight chance i could be a curler (the broom guy)....I think the 5 man 1000 texas rag set up should be an event....

i love the winter olymics. cant get enough of the curling. i think me and 4 of my buddies could beat both U.S. curling teams. they suck.

Ha..... or how about the 10 dozen fullbody 150 yrd dash

I've been watching all sports. I hate it though that they are blaming Canada for that guys death. When your going 150 Km/h head first down a hill and you lose control then your going to die. Thats the nature of the sport. The weather has also bein a major issue. Thats Vancover for ya, it rains not snows. All in all it hasen't been that bad. Been really watching the mens curling, Team Canada is getting a gold in that for sure. Maybe even the womens team also.

didn't see that canada was to blame. it was a unfortuate event. my only issue at least here replaying the footage is in bad taste..

Olympic Medal Count
1. http://www.google.com/images/flags/small/USA.gif United States 7 7 10 24 2. http://www.google.com/images/flags/small/DEU.gif Germany 6 7 5 18 3. http://www.google.com/images/flags/small/NOR.gif Norway 5 3 4 12

Funny how they projected Canada to win the most medals... and USA has already surpassed the total they were expected to win and I see more in the future.

[3shotmike]

I second that thought on the hottest women skiers.

No they didn't. The only reason why the US won any of their hockey games is because Miller is playing his best. Look at the shots on goal, Canada had triple the amount. Are older defence players played like s***. They should have pull Marty after the first period. Also the states got away with at least 4 penalties, but they never got called

+1... Pronger made the team because of the player he used to be, not his contributions this year

[Drake691]

Thorten is a dead weight also

I read the Wall-Street Journal a few weeks back and they did....

GO USA! Medal counts don't lie......

[firefighter520]

Never been a big hockey fan, guess thats because its not that big in the south. But damn I could not leave my chair yesterday during the USA vs. Canada game! It had me using google to catch up on all the rules of hockey. I can't wait for what the future holds for team USA. Have to agree with Drake691 "Miller" had one hell of a game!!!

[tim k]

don't want to fire anyone up but isn't it just a all-star game....i want to take this oppertunity to thank canada for it's greatest export...DUCKS and GEESE!!!!!!!

LOL. I would like to see no Hockey players who play in the NHL in the Olympics. It's just not that fare. You have teams that are packed with NHLers, but no one gets to see real international hockey. It's just a all-star reunion

I agree 100%. Putting the Pros in the Olympics goes against what the Olympics stand for in my opinion.

I doubt we will ever see another "Miracle on Ice" and that is just a shame in my book.

[Drake691]

Looks like are mens Hockey team is out for blood. Were slaughting the Russians

[tim k]

it's a marathon glad it only every four years....

[tim k]

congrats canada!! big hockey win.....now they can go back to there million dollar contract playing in the USA.....canada invented it the USA turned it into a huge money maker go "capitalism"...

[Drake691]

we also set the record for most gold metals won in the winter by the host country. The U.S tried

[tim k]

yep you got the most gold's.......wasn't upset about that was good to see..

[Goose4280]

Was good to see us finally get the gold in the 4 man bobsled.

Great hockey game yesterday..that's what it is all about. A lot of hard hitting going on from both teams and a rather clean game as far as penalties. Props to Canada for killing so much power play time, that was a big factor in the win. If Crosby didn't play for the Pens I would be a hater..his presence on the ice is like no other. Glad the US played so well in the tournament and made it a storybook final game.

you mean Cindy Crybaby? he is so soft he makes marshmallows look like brick walls....he had a couple lucky breaks in the olympics but otherwise he was a non factor and continues to be overhyped :rolleyes:

[hanson10]

Its too bad we didnt have Mike Eruzione from the 1980 team.

For once, I agree! Someone sounds like a red wings fan ;)

[IA92RainMaker]
