Well their logic follows that the countries who now win the most medals, must be doing today what they were doing in the 60s, 70s, 80s and possibly the 90s. Hence their accusations this week.

I've heard that some of the Canadian players were, in fact, pumped full of poutine. Have you seen what that can do to your testicles?

Hold on a sec. You mean it's not cheese curd and gravy coating those fries?

Nope.

Here is the score from the game played on March 1st:

1. Detroit beat Colorado 3-2. A good first game for the Wings, perhaps they are healthy enough to give another run for the playoffs this year(darn). With this win they bumped Calgary out of 8th and took their place.

I might have to rethink my opinion of poutine.

Bruins and Habs tonight. I think it will be a letdown after Olympic play!

The difference(if Thomas ends up being in net for Boston, that is) is that Thomas is rested as he never played in net for the US, while Halak played in net for Slovakia. So Thomas should theoretically be more rested for tonight's game.

Toronto has Carolina tonight. Oh boy! That should be a real humdinger.

And what's the matter, smc? Didn't you like the taste of my poutine?

I went to the game. Got last-minute tickets. It was Rask in the net, and he did a great job until the 3rd period. Habs 4-1.

Best part of the night, though, other than the drinking binge at pub after the game, was the subway ride in. At one stop, about 15 Habs fans got on. I started speaking French to them, so they thought I was a Bostonian Canadiens fan. We talked for a few minutes, I shared my support for Team Canada in the Olympics, and then I hit them with a zinger: "Your Habs will be crushed tonight." And I used Quebecois slang. You should have seen the looks on their faces. Priceless.

Too bad I was SO, SO wrong.
