    Plenty snow in Whistler, it's just the local mountains, where the snowboard events are to be held that are struggling - although it's cold today and snow is forecast for the local mountains (local to

TV does ice hockey no justice, it's a different game live, the pucks easyer to follow and live you see that the hits are hard, bloody hard,I only caught the o/t but that was good

Watched it as I have quite a few Canadian relatives who take this game seriously and have been trying to coax me to a Maples game for years. As you say it was difficult to follow the puck on tv but the two teams seemed evenly matched. Thought the USA shaded it but what do I know. Gave up at full time and went to bed think that the USA would go on to win having come from 2-0 down and equalised with 25 secs to go.

 

Weird to see Canadians getting so excited and patriotic. They kept saying its equivalent to England playing Argentina or Germany in a world cup final.

England v Germany world cup final is the closest I would say, they take the game very seroiusly (mind you in winter these bugger all else to do)

 

NBC was laying it on a bit think about Crosby, saying he was the 20th centery Wayne Gretzky, now Crosby is good but not that good, but saying that hes only 22 and hes lifted the Stanley cup and got a gold medal in less than 12 months, so not too bad

Who and Who and what? :blink:

Crosby i guess must be the next big thing in Hockey

 

But if you've no idea who Wayne Gretzki is or what the Stanley Cup is you must be a hermit.

 

If only for he fact the Stanley cup is fucking HUGE

And the other thing I love about the Stanley cup is that everyone who as every won it has his name on one of the rings, so its has the the full history in one place, and maybe another one it was given to them by a English man :D
