That was great! Mezin for Belarus was just... amezin. :D

I wouldn't say Canada has an easy road to the finals, because the Fins aren't exactly push-overs but that's not to say we won't win the game and go on to pound Belarus.

And I'd say Sweden looked like the better team throughout the preliminaries, but USA was a very close second. USA vs Canada for the finals I'm thinking. Most people were saying USA wouldn't even finish fifth, but I always said they'd finish strong.

And yeah, that goal on Salo was like it was destined to go in.

Your speed skaters are some of the best in the world, but you don't care, do you?

Curling.... An ancient Scottish ice sport played with a 42 pound stone.

Yeah! The chick's hockey is on right now. About 5 minutes left in the third period, and Canada is up 3-1 on America!!! Yeah! Go Canada Go! America sucks!!! (at hockey)

Joeiss 02-21-2002 09:24 PM

Woohoo!!! Canada's women team won a gold medal in hockey! YEAH! Go Canada Go! Go Canada Go!:canada:

nWoCHRISnWo 02-21-2002 10:01 PM

Wooooooooo! Sweet, sweet revenge! USA's beating us beating streak has come to an end tonight as Canada is declared the best hockey nation once again.

Did you see all the American women's faces after the loss? Crying as we kiss our gold medals on their own soil. This is too great.

Angrist 02-22-2002 03:14 PM

(speed skating just in case you didn't know) :) The 10.000 meters is on now. Gianni Romme rode pretty well, but I'm not sure if it's good enough. I think Uitdenhaage has a pretty good chance, so has your American Parra. We'll know more in 15 minutes. :beat:

Angrist 02-22-2002 03:27 PM

Uytdenhaage is doing great!!!! He'll beat the world record if he goes on like this!! only 2 rounds left!!!

Parra sucks really bad!!!!!! :eek:

Angrist 02-22-2002 03:31 PM

YEAAAH!!! :D He beat the world record!!! Parra became 7th!

Now we can only wait and see what the others do!!

Angrist 02-22-2002 04:02 PM

The last Dutch guy, Bob de Jong, is going down!! We don't know what's wrong with him, but something is... he also raced a really bad 5.000m!

Only 4 racers left... :beat:

Joeiss 02-22-2002 05:07 PM

Okay, I have to stop this posting streak... Use the edit button, newbie! j/k.

Canada won 7-1 against Belarus today! YEAH!!! Come Sunday, Canada will the the gold, just like their chick counterparts.

Ridley 02-22-2002 06:38 PM

Damn and I was so close too. I said about 5 minutes into the first period that we should be able to beat them 8-1. Oh well maybe next time. Now it's time to strike for gold :cool:

Go Canada! :canada:

Yeah, I predicted a 5-1 score right before the game started. Damn them scoring 2 more goals! Damn them!!

The Germanator 02-23-2002 12:06 AM

The U.S squad held on to beat Russia 3-2 today also, setting up the game that everyone wanted I guess. U.S all the way man, all the way.

Yeah! US all the way!!! Well, until they get beat in the finals by Canada.

:canada:

The Germanator 02-23-2002 10:41 AM

Ahh, there's too many hockey loving Canucks around here! :eyes:

Joeiss 02-23-2002 11:04 PM

Woohoo!!! Canada cleaned up today in speed skating.

We won a bronze in women's 5,000 m skating.

We won a gold and silver in men's 500 m short track skating.

And we won a gold in men's short track relay.


Woohoo!! There is 4 more medals for Canada! Yes!!!

nWoCHRISnWo 02-23-2002 11:13 PM

Plus a possible gold (at least silver, for sure) puts us fourth on the list.

I'll get the updated list after closing cermonies tonight.

Joeiss 02-24-2002 12:22 PM

Canada is allready in fourth. We have 16 medals... Norway has 22, America has a bunch, and then Germany has a bunch.

Angrist 02-25-2002 09:56 AM

We're placed 9th with 3 gold medals and 5 silver ones! That's not bad for such a small country! We all won them with speed skating, we're probably the best speed skating country in the world!!

Oh yeah, did you see the short-track final?? That was absurd!! The Aussi was way behind the other 4, but in the last turn the 4 fell and he finished first!! :eek: :D
