I am so glad I didn't see the young lady fall while acting up during the snowboard contest and blow the gold medal.....Seems to me that the Olympics just don't mean the same as they used to

Someone please bring back the athletes of my youth!

It's NHL rules now, too. It makes for a more dramatic end but it sucks if your team loses. That was a huge shocker yesterday!

It's not just that "my" team lost (and I will admit, as far as Ice Hockey goes, I *am* pulling for the US team heavily). It's just that, win or lose, to have an event which is meant to be a team effort decided by smething so arbitrary is aanoying. It sucks in soccer, it sucks in the NHL, and it sucks in the IIHF.


I mean, yes, the NHL in it's how-many-year history had a very few games go into four or five overtimes. But in the end, the games were decided by team endurance and team effort. Hockey is meant to be a large amount of physical effort. Let them play, don't have this stupid, arbitrary "we" suddenly get luckier than "they" do decision. If you're going to do that, why play the game in the first place?

Good points, gekko.

Canada men are losing 2-0 to the Swiss right now & it's the end of the 2nd period. The pain!

That blog sucked for me yesterday at work. I got email updates from a friend before they updated on the site. How long does it take to post a score?

Neige 02-18-2006 11:32 AM

I'm not sure how long it takes... but it is kind of slow, I find. But I love some of the comments they make though! ("Calling Judge Judy. Is there a Judge Judy in the house?" :D)

Steph 02-18-2006 12:13 PM

AUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

We've never lost to the Swiss before! OMG That was awful! Gerber, the Swiss goalie, was amazing.
