Justa Picker... you owe me a beer... I dropped mine laughing !!! You oughta warn a fella !

Hey... when the ref makes a call, that's the call. If you don't like the rules, change the rules, but don't get your knickers in a twist over the results. Now, I'm as patriotic as the next guy and I believe in fair play, but the rules are the rules. Better to be like a real Canuck and graciously accept the fact that you actually did win but didn't get the medal. Shit, we've been doing it for a long time. You'd think we would have had it down to a science by now.

BTW, did anyone catch that men's Canada vs Sweden curling match last night ? It's a good thing there were no judges on that one because Canada would have lost by a million points, rather than just by one. But they were true Canucks... have you EVER seen anyone APOLOGIZE to the other team for scoring points in an undeserved fashion !!!??? That's CLASS !!! Even if they don't get the gold, (and they still might just do it) they are gold in my books. Go gold, lads !!!
