I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of the Russians crying.
Yeah, I'd hardly call that dominating. Outshot 44-18 and winning by 2 (one because of a pulled goalie) is not dominating, its being incredibly lucky.
However, 7-3? How's that feel Russia? You faired only MILDLY better than the Germans.

Currently projecting the US to win the final medal count by 4, but for Canada to win the gold medal count by 4 or 5.

I'm watching the figure skating.......I hope Joannie Rochette comes in 3rd........So sad that her mom died. I'll be glued to my tv all night.......I don't get curling at all !
AAAAaaaaaaaand Shutout victory!
Gold in Women's Hockey and a Bronze for Rochette. Figure Skating may not be a real sport, but thats still a real medal added to our growing collection. And, seriously, now she can finally rest a bit and grieve. I can't imagine how hard this has been for her.
I'll take that.

One year off the drinking age, big whoop. Also, it's a shame Scotty Lago had to leave Vancouver over the medal-biting thing. Damn, whaddaya expect people in their teens and twenties to do when they win fricking Olympic medals.
Though granted, it might have been a better idea for the Canadian team to celebrate off the ice.

I'm willing to bet that it's gonna be US-Canada in the Gold medal game while Finland and Slovakia for the Bronze.
Looks that way, I'm gonna spend my first free night since these God damn Olympics started getting blitzed at the bar watching Canada Slovakia tonight.
We're coming for you.
And Csnada is now in the lead for gold medals!

She is of age in her home province and in the province tthe team trains in. Just not in BC.
So she's underage.

Yes. But I do feel like it makes it less of a big deal. I know that LEGALLY, it changes nothing, but my own personal perception is that its not as bad as the press is making it out to be.
