Pardon us for having a bigger population. Hockey and curling aren't the only things we do in winter (nudge nudge wink wink).

Bad show at Hockey (Men's) for the US
I was completely blown away by the decimation handed to the Men's Hockey team from the US agaisnt Finland. The 0 part I can slightly understand since the Finns are best known for their goaltending abilities. However, allowingthem to score five goals against us should have never happened. It was almost like the US Men said, "well no Gold or Silver, so who cares." Oh well, hopefully in four years we won't embarass ourselves in a sport we should be competitive in at all times...
Second in total medal count, so I will take that for our Olympic squad.
One sad event, I waited so long to watch the Bobsled and began watching on Saturday in Run #1. I was looking forward to cheering on Jamaica in this event. However, I find out that Jamaica did not even make it past the qualifiers that were run on Friday, so I never even got to watch them race. Oh well, I hope to see them send a squad each year from now on, instead of waiting another 30+ years to send their next winter competitors.

Post olympic blues
I don't know why but I always get a little melancholy when the olympics close. The exicitement and beauty of it all really is wonderful. bye bye olympic games see you in four years.

Re: Bad show at Hockey (Men's) for the US
Men said, "well no Gold or Silver, so who cares."
You could see it in their eyes after the loss to Canada. They felt that they had just lost the entire tournament. They could have cared less if they got to play in a consolation game.
At the same time, I don't want to take away anything from Finland's win. They are an awesome team, and earned that win.
