Wow! That is why Martin is at the Limpics. Talk about shaving the ice on that last rock. I thought it was a 99% chance of a jam and he shaved that with a hair! Beauty eh?

I hope he buys Morris a beer... after Morris buys him a few! Hahahahaa.

He IS amazing gnu......really. We're out of it with both teams but I still loved watching. I don't see anyone witha really good chance to take the gold from Canada.

What kind of flower is that in those bouquets they're giving all of the medalists? Broccoli?

Spaw.... he is. So is Ferby, Gushue, Howard(s)... be cool to put together a "dream team".

Anyway... the Swiss are looking pretty sharp so far in the hockey game with USA. But, I am cheering for the USA, of course.

CANADA WINS AGAIST RUSSIA!!!!!
Talk about domination!
I honestly didn't think they could play, as a team, that well!!!
I never left the "Band Wagon", but the ground was starting to look a bit close!
One more game each, and maybe..............a Sunday like no other for North American hockey fans!!!!!

I hope record numbers are set for viewer numbers, in both Canada and the U.S.
Sometimes I wish I could convince some, that HOCKEY is the most exciting sport there is!

BTW
Tom Brokaw, Thank You, Thank You Very Much!!!

I admit that I was completely wrong. I expected a 2-1, 3-2 game. Not the blow out which occurred. All that talent on the Russian team and they did nothing. Thanks fellas.

Soooo.... I didn't get to watch the game on tape becasue some ***** sent me an email "They really put it to the Russians eh!!!!"

Then, in the waiting room at the doc's office, three old guys (older) were discussing every play.

So... was it really as rough as has been reported? I heard a Russian was quoted as saying sommat like the Canucks came out like a herd of gorillas.

Curling Canuck women are through. Though on the opposing skip with that last chance to force an extra end. Kinda hard (I watched 4 ends) to watch the mistakes on both sides... nerves maybe.

The Canadians have matched the record of 13 golds set by the Soviets in 1976 and Norway in 2002. It's also the most gold Canada has won at any Olympics, winter or summer, and its the most for any Winter Olympics host country; both those marks had been 10.
