It is over!

The Canadian women have captured Olympic gold! They beat the US 2-0 for their third straight gold medal.

Congratulations ladies!

Well done. I knew it would be a close game.

Good game, and a deserved win. But no one could score on powerplays. It was predictable that the Canadians would open the scoring soon after surviving that first 5-on-3. The Canadian goalie had a really good game.

Their post match boozing and smoking on the ice was bound to upset the IOC suits. I suppose they'd have gotten away with just drinking champagne, but 6-packs and cigars was going too far.

Sorry fellow hockey fans, but I've been watching the Six Nations Rugby (Wales-France) on BBC, and at half time (France leading 20-0 in Cardiff) I realised the USA-Finland hockey had started.

So I switched over to the BBC's extra channel only to catch the deathly silence that filled the airwaves during the break between the 1st and 2nd periods of the hockey.

The BBC and their now infamous hockey-novice commentator have a habit of walking away from the mic at the end of the period and leaving dead air. All we're left with are the mumbles of the crowd and a long shot of the Zamboni machines circling the ice.

There wasn't even a caption on the screen to show the USA lead 6-0. The BBC can be really crap sometimes.

I had to return to the rugby because a demolition of the Welsh is simply too entertaining for me to miss.

I hoped the French would totally humiliate the Welsh in the second half, but the Welsh fought back to 20-13, before a couple of French penalties and a last minute Welsh try meant the game ended 26-20. Still I'm happy the Welsh lost. Tomorrow it's England-Ireland, should be a close game.

Now the rugby has finished it's back to the hockey for the 3rd period. How the hell did the second period remain scoreless?

At least they're using Zambonis and not those weird eco-friendly things that got the speed skaters so riled up!

Be thankful all you heard was dead silence and not a huge fart due to his eating a El Grande Burpo Burrito.

Do you think any of those Canadian players are the kind of gurls we like?

Oh, just the thought of it!

I don't see anything wrong with having beer and champagne after winning. I thought it was rather stupid to start smoking; they are after all athletes and smoking is not conducive to athletic performance.

I see that Hockey Canada apologized to the IOC for the women's team. To me it seems stupid to apologize for the actions of someone else. I don't see what there was to apologize for either. They won the game, let them have their celebration. Hockey Canada and IOC; grow and get a life.

I'm thinking about starting a poll. Which is worse? Canadian women's hockey team members celebrating an outstanding Olympics and a gold medal with beer, champagne, and cigars, or IOC members taking bribes to pick a particular city for the Olympics?

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.

As was said by one of the Canadian hockey players, if it had been the men who had done it there would have been a heck of a lot less hooplah about it. It was not a big deal to me, but of course the IOC will overreact.

I read in the paper this morning that the IOC are going to do an investigation of this incident. I also read that the celebration took place after all the spectators had left the arena and that the incident was reported to the IOC by a member of the media. It looks like people really are making a big deal out of nothing and that the IOC members really don't have a life. After all, one of the most heinous crimes that one can commit is to celebrate a win in a sports competition.

I have a theory. This investigation is being pushed behind the scenes by jealous, vindictive Americans who think the cigars being smoked were Cuban and who can't stand the fact that Canadians can get them while Americans cannot. It's a proxy for all the many other things about Canada that are better than the United States.

It's interesting that you should mention Cuban cigars. The latest political cartoon about the incident had one of the hockey players saying almost the same thing that you wrote.

It's still much ado about nothing.

I assure you I thought of that all by myself.

Here's something on a lighter note from Olympics hockey. I actually saw this.

MSNBC's Olympic Update show aired a live phone interview with a guy claiming to be Ryan Miller, the U.S. goalie. He talked about making 42 saves in the win over Canada because "everything just clicks sometimes," and he went on to say that ""we're feeling very confident." Further, he said the U.S. team was "almost guaranteeing" a win tomorrow.

It was a prank!

Later that evening, during a news program, an MSNBC reporter at the Olympics interrupted the program to chat with the real Ryan Miller, who said friends and agents had been calling and texting him asking he had really "become that cocky." He said, no, "I'm really laid back." The prank was revealed, MSNBC apologized, and Ryan Miller said, "no problem, I appreciate a good prank."

Sounds like it's a case of the Media wanting to sell more papers with a "created controversy".

Just over two hours before the Canada - US game. Have all the hockey fans got their spot in front of their tv reserved?

From Slam Sports on Canoe.ca.

Pravda questions Canada
Accuse Olympic hosts of cheating


When the Olympic flag was passed on to Russian officials at the conclusion of Vancouver?s spectacular Olympic closing ceremonies, maybe someone should have handed over a few crying towels as well.

Given all the whining coming out of Russia, the host country for the 2014 Winter Games, they probably could have used some.

Having watched its Olympic team underachieve the past two weeks, the lead column Monday in the Russian-based publication Pravda ripped the 2010 Games, even pondering the unsubstantiated accusation that the gold-medal Canadian men's hockey team might have been using performance-enhancing substances.

Said Pravda: "Doesn't it feel great to slam the door behind you as you walk out, stick up the middle finger using the palm of the left hand on the upper right forearm for extra leverage and blow a giant raspberry? That is exactly how it feels as Russia leaves Vancouver after disappointing Games with a question: was the Canadian ice hockey team on drugs?"

Where did that come from? Do the Russians know something that the IOC's drug testers don't? Was there tomfoolery going on while potential Team Canada players were peeing in bottles in the months leading up to arguably the greatest hockey tournament we have ever seen? A little switching of the specimen bottles, perhaps?



If that's the case, we have a question for Pravda: Where?s the evidence to back up those allegations?

Continued Pravda: "The middle finger and the giant raspberry go to the Canadian ice hockey team. Were they on drugs the day they beat Russia so overwhelmingly? These days, and since the USSR's 8-1 thrashing of Canada in the early 80s, Canada-Russia ice hockey games are always very closely fought events and there has not been such a monumental difference between the two sides. Very strange, the more so since the same Team Canada (whatever the hell that is supposed to mean) put in an extremely lacklustre performance against lowly Slovakia and was lucky to reach Sunday's final. And for anyone who is about to be shocked by the question, one supposes it is OK to make cheap and gratuitous references to Russians and doping, but when the ball rolls back home it hurts. Right?"

In the end, it sounds like a lot of sour grapes -- or, in Russian, "????? ????????."

Unless proof of Canadian cheating is provided, we'll stick with the premise that Team Canada crushed Russia 7-3 in the quarterfinal because the Russians were outscored, outhit, outskated, outclassed and outworked.

The stage had been set for Alexander Ovechkin to prove to Canada and the rest of the hockey world that he was the best. Didn't happen. In fact, on the day the gold medal hockey game was held, the only sweat produced by The Great Eight came from participating in the closing ceremonies.

And, by the way, how do you think Alexander The Great feels after watching his rival Sidney Crosby a) beat him in the Stanley Cup playoffs; b) win a Stanley Cup; and b) score an Olympic golden goal on home soil, igniting a coast-to-coast celebration?

All in the span of 10 months.

According to the Pravda column, the entire Russian contingent may have been the target of some fiendish scheme aimed at curtailing their medal count.

"We will never know, will we?" asked Pravda about the potential of the Canadians being on drugs. "We will never know, because the officials at Vancouver predictably did not mete out to the Canadians the shockingly humiliating treatment given to the Russian skier Natalya Korosteleva, asked to produce a urine sample during the break between the quarter-and semi-finals of her event. Had she complied, she would not have had time to enter the semis. And such was the hounding of the Russian athletes that there are rumours many refused to eat for fear their food would be laced with steroids."

Lacing their chow with drugs? Quite the conspiracy theory.

By slagging the Games and the Vancouver area, the Russians are walking on thin ice. Criticize if you like. It?s called freedom of speech. But you certainly are setting the bar higher when the world congregates in Sochi, Russia in 2014.

When you rip others, you expose yourself to be equally slagged. And, after evaluating and dissecting each and every wart of the 2010 Vancouver Games -- even when there didn't seem to be any there at times -- you can bet that any hiccups will be that much more magnified in Sochi.

Especially by many of the so-called experts and observers who considered Vancouver 2010 to be one of the most popular and successful Olympics of all time.


So rather than blame the Russian team for deciding to pull a disappearing act, this "newspaper" chooses to slag the Canadian team instead. Classy!
