Go Holland (Dutch)
 
You know I should be upset that the Men's Canadian Hockey team lost last might but I'm not. I'm pleasantly pleased that the overpriced egotistical players got shot down by the American Team. I sometimes feel that the Canadian players feel it's their right to win and it's not. Although I didn't watch the game last night the American appeared to be the better team.

Go Canada Go
 
That's the thing... our guys worked their butts off. We outshot the US 2 to 1, but our goalie was a freaking sieve! He should have been pulled after the second goal. I'm totally p.o'd at the Canadian coach. I don't understand why he didn't play Luongo.

Oh- congrats to Holland- you guys can really skate! :)
 
Two stories to comment on. The first one is just sad and my prayers go out to this woman and her family:

Canadian figure skater Joannie Rochette's mother dies suddenly


The second one is just plain maddening. These two commentators should be fired:

Canadian commentators fail to cool it with Johnny Weir jokes

Both articles are really quite sad, yet for different reasons.

I am looking forward to the women's figure skating. I think it's a very calming, almost hypnotic event.

usa rules on medal ounts and waiting for tonight for figure skating
 
Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir of Canada just won gold in Ice Dance. They are the youngest pair to ever win gold and are also the only North American pair to ever win gold. I am so happy right now. Those two have such chemistry and their skate was flawless.

So Canada now has 10 medals. 5 gold, 4 silver and 1 bronze :)
 
Congratulations to Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir of Canada on their Gold Medal winning performance...absolutely beautiful and perfect! And congratulations to the young American couple Meryl Davis and Charlie White on their Silver Medals...I loved their music choice and routine!!!
:)
 
Yeah, that Russian dude cracks me up. He clearly has delusions of grandeur! :lol:

Ah well, there will always be naysayers. What can you do? It doesn't detract from the accomplishments of the winners to me- sour grapes only reflect badly on the people expressing them, in my opinion.
