Anyone following the hockey ?

Next time I will know some things better

A little OT, but has anyone been following the speed skating? How is it that the Canadian Ladies get knocked by the IOC about drinking after the game but this Uno guy can straight out say that he feels a Canadian judge purposely made a bad call so Canada could finish ahead of him....?

That's not an exact quote sorry, but it definately sums up his comments.

WTF?

Drinking in Canada? "I'm shocked...." to quote Inspector Renaud.

At least they didn't get knocked by that other N. American wonder, Tigger.

That's too bad as Ohno is usually such a classy guy. Guess everyone has a bad day.

The dirty cheater.

Or maybe everybody slips eventually and you see their true colours. He's certainly classy when he's winning. Fortunately, for the kids watching, that's most of the time.

Wow, Finland beat Slovakia for Bronze. I didn't expect that. I didn't get to see the game, I had my own to play (and we won in OT! wuhoo!)

Gettin' ready for the big game...

I'm surprised... but SLovakia could well be dissappointed after coming so close, and Finland had something to prove.

$#@!.... I completely forgot that game was on last night...

I'd have to agree that the Solvaks were most likely broken after that loss to the Canadian team. There are some experienced pros on that Solvak squad though. I'd expect more....

That just shows that Finland didn't lie down for the Americans. You canadians should expect the same treatment the Finns received.

No surprise at all. The Fins are a very good team that had an off night against the states. Slovaks, well, it just wasn't meant to be. I hear Finland has now won more olympic hockey medals than any other nation.

Hi

Some deviation for ice hockey lovers......

World cup for field hockey started today in New Delhi, India

England beat Australia 3-2

Spain beat South Africa 4-2

and

India beat Pakistan 4-1

BBC Sport - Hockey - England stun Australia 3-2 at Hockey World Cup

 

[infinia]

NHL or exNHL players?

Slovak have 16 Vs the Finns 15
I think its pretty even for US and Canada in that regards (100%) AND with the team USA management originally from Canada. Another fine Canadia export.

But it should be a good game

 

[Cal Weldon]

Go Canada.

 

[planet10]

Go Canada.

GO....

 

[aardvarkash10]

who cares about padded up thugs on ice?!

NZ beat the Australians at 20/20 cricket last night.

We'll probably declare a national holiday today...

Oh wtf, Go Canada!!!!!!!!!

 

[iko]

Go Canada!!!

 

[c2cthomas]

2-1 Canuck's after 2 periods. Yanks looked as if they were still asleep in the 1st period - I guess that the early start time didn't agree with late night parties!!! 2nd period showed some promise - but so far those guys with the Maple leaves are playing at a higher level than the Yanks - IMO.

 

[ichiban]

Tie

 

[c2cthomas]

24 seconds left in the 3rd and a tie game!!!

 

[bearberry]

Aaarrghhh!!!

So close! Now for more tension. Go Canada!
