I know there was a lot of interest. Hockey is clearly the most popular of all Winter Olympic Events.
Just woke up from a much needed nap - will catch the Closing Ceremonies tonight with Ron McLean. 'Wanted to add a big thank you to Steve Yzerman and Mike Babcock for a job well done and to Steve Podborski - our Chef de Mission.
I felt bad for the Women's more than the Men. The men played with as much enthusiasm as a consolation game for the Stanley Cup if there was such a thing. Actually I didn't feel bad for the men at all.
I think I'm going to have my third nap since the end of the game this morning. Just watching those guys tends to tucker you out. I thought the Swedes might have a little more yump. Maybe the Finns burned them out.

One better? The UK got one gold total.

In 2010 Luongo was second fiddle until Brodeur didn't look very good. He did reasonably well in that role. We don't know how he would've managed if he had been the go-to guy from the start. This time around he had the same role but Price was really good. If Price had been shaky I'm sure the coach wouldn't have hesitated to put Lui in, just as he did in 2010.
Watching the Closing Ceremonies. Got chills down my spine listening to the Russian Children's Choir sing their National Anthem - stirring seems a small word to describe the power of that anthem. Don't have a clue what the words are - the music alone is enough to stir even the least affected.
Wait wait wait... One less Gold than Canada (3 more medals) and you are trying to float that Goobs?
Everyone is special. Yawn.Before our Olympic Chat topic sinks out of sight.......as it will, I would like to remind folks that the next phase of the Sochi Olympics is set to get underway March 7 to the 17th giving us another chance to cheer on Team Canada in the Paralympics.
I am always a bit saddened that while we come out in the millions to support our 'healthy' Olympians, our Paralympians who deserve our attention and support equally as much, if not a bit more are left to compete in relative obscurity. It doesn't help that the networks don't find it profitable enough to cover them on equal terms limiting are access to events and results.
You know all those ads on TV about sending our athletes 'a message from the heart'? Let's send our Paralympians one too.
For anyone interested in event schedules they can go to Sochi 2014 Paralympics - Paralympic Tickets, Sports & Schedule - Sochi 2014 Paralympic winter Games for further information.
GO TEAM CANADA!:canada:
Goober, I just about fell off my chair when I read the caption on that photo. :lol:
