i wonder how much money countries like germany and china invest in athletes in preparation for olympics, and i wonder if they make it back once they've done so well

didnt see much of ice hockey,canada last night was belting though,went to pens! it was like that mighty duck film!...no?...just me then.

womens curling team beating japan 1-0,way to go, but form says its a dead cert.japs are rubbish with a broom.to be honest not much else going on. mixed ice skating early stages,crap band on t'other channel. only mens skeleton to come..

i was on my way to bed,but through nothing but luck i found a half empty bottle of smirnoff vodka,but what do i have it with?..straight?..wont last long enough to see the mens skeleton!,..so,my fridge has milk,a mouthfull of orange cordial(un-mixed,therefore useless) and seeing as vodka doesnt really go with half empty tins of dog food or eggs,my night is over!..but my word? what is that i see just above the fridge?..a bottle of oasis pinapple..perfecto! vodka oasis cocktails=mens bobsleigh skeleton.

it is a good game , canada winning 1-0

 

and working on a sunday? aint that illegal?

Never sat through a full ice hockey game before. I enjoyed it but one every 4 years is about my limit.

 

 

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

Posted

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

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
