Thanks for coming out, Russia.
Haha, I thought the funniest aspect of all this hyped up game was that neither Crosby or Ovechkin got any goals.Quote:

Super excited Luongo got the call. He definitely deserved it (not that I'm hating on Bordeur). That was pretty uncharacteristic of Nabokov though.
It was inevitable after Brodeur's botched game against the Americans. That was out of character for Brodeur, who is such an experienced goalie.Quote:

I wouldn't have thought that one game was enough to bench him against Russia. Brodeur's not really the type to have his confidence broken, nor do I think you'll see the same mistakes again.Quote:

Switzerland has some pretty attractive curlers... but did anyone else think that the redhead looked a lot like Shaun White?
Anywho... we're moving on to the gold medal game, which is cool. Bring it on, Sweden!
The women's hockey gold medal game against the U.S. is on today. If they win, I have to take another shot of Canadian whisky. Ugh, after yesterday's medal celebrations I don't know if I'll survive.
It's a third straight Olympic gold for Canada's women's hockey team.Quote:

Haha, it's funny how patriotic the games can make you feel, especially when they're in your country. A Tim Hortons commercial almost made me shed a tear earlier today. That can't be healthy.Quote:

Add to that the recent death of her mother and she's probably one of the most inspiring stories of the games.
Yu-Na Kim wins with an outrageous 150+ in her free skate, to put that in perspective there was a 20 point gap between her and the silver medalist. She truly is in a league all of her own.
See what happens when I go to help a friend...I miss the performances that I wanted to see...I guess there's always youtubeQuote:
