If the American team had won and done that Canadian posters would have taken to thier forums the way other peoples take to the streets to express their outrage. It reeks of poor sportsmanship and sets a poor example. Suppose the US men win tomorrow even though I would assume they are very much the under dogs. They can come back out on the ice, still in uniforms and skates, drink and smoke and you Canadians will find that perfectly OK?
Women's Hockey Team Booz-Up
- Thread starter Ogu
- Start date
So I could go over to the provincial park near here that's closed for the winter and start a party? Awesome.
I would doubt that. But then again it would only bother prudes and sour grapes.
"Big deal - what we should be celebrating is that we have those gold medals? Get over the whole USA/Canadian thing. "- My sentiments exactly, D.H.W.
lol well if you can give me soda and pizza i go parrty on the ice
and clean up afterwords.
Lame argument. The park is closed to everyone. The arena was open for Canada's women hockey team, closed to the public.
Your post reeks of sour grapes.
And we don't have to worry about team usa winning gold tomorrow, it will never happen...
The actions of the Canadian Women's hockey team makes me even more proud of them. It's too bad they weren't doing tequila shots and licking the salt and lemon juice off the nut sack of a male stripper....that would have really twisted up the panties of the sissies.
Canadians for the most part are very sensitive to what both America and Britain say about us. The British press has not be3en kind - we have been upset. My feeling? i don't like that both countries have issues with our winning and also the 'condition' of our Olympic venues etc ... but do I dwell on it? No. do I get all bent out of shape because they feel that way? No. Bottom line? We do what we do to the best of our ability and sometimes we get it right - sometimes we get it wrong. As long as we do our best, I'm good with that - and I don't care about anyone else. And, Gerryh, THATS my explanation
so - does this 'satisfy your interest' or do you need more -if you do, I'd appreciate your being specific.
Oh garbage! The rink was empty - there was NOBODY there (or supposedly) - they weren't wiping anyone else's faces in their victory - they were just celebrating what they'd accomplished! My only problem with this scenario? they didn't have the silver and bronze medal teams out there celebrating games well played - maybe that will happen next time!
I feel so sad - you obviously have no joy in you!
"giving a minor drinking... and Paradise like spoiled little brats is a problem. and not staying in there rooms to party is a problem. you don't bring that out in a public view. no matter if people are gone or not."
The 'minor' was less than a month away from her 19th birthday, and when she was c0ming to BC was probably thinking about more relevant issues than her legal age of imbibation.
As far as the 'public view' thing? It's a sad world, isn't it. It's come to a point where I cannot show joy anywhere. Yes, I mean anywhere. So what if they were in the arena - they were in a place where everyone was supposed to be gone - it wasn't as if they were in a bar or a restaurant.Bars and restaurants have hours of operation as do arenas - and this arena was closed. It was no longer open to the public view.
They're old enough to play in the Gold Medal game at the Olympics but not old enough to have a drink for winning it.
It's like sending an 18-year old off to fight in Iraq but not give him the authority to drink a beer. It doesn't add up.
BTW, I started drinking at age 3 but didn't start smoking until 6.

No, actually it would only 'reek of poor sportsmanship' if they had done it knowingly in front of others. As it was they were just a team celebrating a win.They waited until the stadium was (supposedly) empty. They weren't ragging on about how the other team sucked and they were so much better, they were just - happy. And if the USA team had won and sneaked out on the ice to do the same thing? I'd have said good on ya!
Heck - are you the same buzz kill at other parties you go to?
