shadows, are you stuck at work?

dauls, are you up in the middle of the night with those wacko BBC guys?

Go Canada!

I saw the game last night, the Beeb even tried their best to show the game in full with actual commentary to accompany the crowd noises.

The only interruptions to the live action were when the Beeb cut away to show a couple of short-track speed skating races. The rest of the time they limited showing other events to the breaks between periods.

Maybe the BBC will do the decent thing on Sunday and show the final uninterrupted, which shouldn't be difficult because all the other events are scheduled to have finished by then.

So Canada were cruising at 3-0, only to end up inches away from conceding an equaliser in they dying seconds against the 6-on-5 Slovaks.

Why do Team Canada do this to their supporters?

Maybe the emotion of seeing the Canadian Women lose the curling final finally hit them half way through the 3rd period, and then the fear of a Canadian double-choke allowed the Slovaks in for that second goal.

If Canada let the moment get to them on Sunday they can kiss the gold medal goodbye. Team USA appears to be showing no fear.
