Yay, the monkey was at least stunned! They may meet again if GB beats their next opponent. Man, GB was favoured to win the gold and still may but they're going about it the hard way.

We always bloody do lol

It was a good game and Canada landed some awesome shots , the second (or maybe 3rd) from last was almost surgical and the long guard the UK lad placed was.......maybe meant for a different game?

I was surprisingly disappointed, didn't think I would be but we were out played, no two ways about it.

[augiedoggie]

I wish I had seen it live as ctvolympics.ca was supposed to stream it but I never figured out how. Had a few too many ales by that time. At least there was some good short track action to assuage me.

[Nedlamar]

lol Yeah it was good to watch, I've been watching most of it, well that which I get on TV lol
Canada vs Germany in Hockey tonight, thankfully they wont have an American bricklayer putting a wall up in front of the net tonight lol

[Nedlamar]

Well Britain are out of the Curling well played though guys.
Canada beat Germany

And the fear in this Country about facing the Russians.......well....the Americans woke the sleeping dogs and the Russians paid the price....7-3 Canada, fanbloodytastic!
The Canadians are FINALLY showing the world who's game it really is!

Bring on the Semi's!!

Womens Hockey Final tonight, USA vs Canada..........Oooo mama it's gonna be a fight to the last.

Ditto, Ditto, Ditto!!

Even though I'm from and in the U.S., a substantial part of me is rooting for the North of the Borders. It'd be great if the U.S and "O Canada" took gold and silver in the hockey games, regardless of the order.

And yes, the win over the Russians was great to watch! Very decisive!

[Nedlamar]

I would like to see US vs Canada in the mens final, I think it will be very different from Sunday, wouldn't like to guess the result.
Damn Miller is like a freaking brick wall, absolutely amazing performance, while the Canadian front line are like snipers and now have clear scopes.
Would be very interesting.

Canada actually outplayed the US. The problem for us was Russell in goal.
The Canada Russia game was even better. Russia looked totally lost in their own end. It was easy to tell, 'cause I have HD. Even the curling looks way better. I'm spoiled now.

[brandypeppy]

Congrats to all you Canucks!!

Your women's hockey team did it again!

But what about that beer and champagne drunk fest, along with cigars! On the ice!!! I was never so shocked!

Scandalous, at least they didn't take their shirts off, (shucks)

Seriously____Congratulations to the Canadians!!

[Nedlamar]

lol It was a good game although the ref was an idiot and called both sides for little things but ignored major infractions.
Other than that it was a great game and well played on both teams parts.

The whole drinking thing, thats kind of funny especially since there is a picture of the 18 y/o girl drinking and smoking when in Vancouver she is underage

Maybe Shannon Szabados could teach Martin Brodeur a thing or two

[brandypeppy]

What's worse, is one of those girls is holding a Silver Bullet, (Coor's Lite).

Now she should be extradited!!

[augiedoggie]

I missed the game due to the storm but loved to see them celebrate! BTW Ned, drinking age is 18 here AFAIK.

[Nedlamar]

So my g/f told me, but they ain't there
I'm just glad they got it, I love seeing home teams win especially at this level.

I do hope you don't miss tonights game

USA just scored against Finland, 2 minutes in.

[Nedlamar]

Well that game was........odd lol
USA 6 -Finland 1

All US goals scored in first period, very strange, I have no idea what the Fin's were doing in the first period but the US took advantage of it perfectly.

Canadian Women currently in the lead in Curling 1-0 End 3.

Next is Canada vs Slovakia, mens hockey.
I'm not sure I can watch lol

But should they win it's going to be a rematch.....for Gold!! WooHoo!!

[Nedlamar]

What a game, Canada owned that ice........of course until they decided they had won and apparently all started drifting off into Gold Medal dream land in the 3rd lol

The last 3 minutes were intense, man did Slovakia pour it on heavy, credit to them, they certainly deserve the Bronze over Finland.

USA vs Canada Final!!! Yeeeeeessss!!

This is going to be interesting

And the Womens Curling team got Silver, nothing at all to be ashamed of, they played fantastically all along and really deserved the gold but Sweden just pulled a rabbit out of the hat in the last 2 End's.

[augiedoggie]

Yawn, I stayed up too late watching hockey but what the heck eh? It's really too bad for the curling gals as they had two chances to finish off the Swedes.

[gloozit]

Yes, I was disappointed the Canuk ladies lost.
They did have the gold and let it slip away.
Miss Bernard, if you need a shoulder, I have two.
