Just watching Men's Curling Gold medal match. One of the British his guys just had to change his shirt loo so some nice upper body eye candy.

Sweden is now ahead by one goal over Finland with a few minutes left in the game.

Go Sweden!  Eric's second fave country     My MIL (pure Swed) will be happy too.  The Blackhawks have turned her into quite the hockey fan!

I like Johnny, too.  I'm surprised they have him as a commentator since he is so polarizing, but I have always liked him.  He makes Adam look conservative.  


I agree with you FC about all the jumps.  It's like everything in between the jumps is just leading up to another jump.  Maybe that's why I prefer ice dancing now to the other skating events.  It's more about the artistry of skating.  It's more interesting.

I am very surprised that Johnny is being used for commentary!  I know the skating world was not thrilled with him last Olympics!  But I just get a kick out of him.

I truly dislike that artistry is being removed from Skating. I like jumps but in-between there should be required elements, edges, movement, something.

To bad Tuka was to sick to play today.

Good luck to both the USA and Canadian Hockey team today.

Who is Tuka??  Clearly I am out of the Olympic loop

The exhibition is tomorrow night.

When are the closing ceremonies?

Good to see Badger!

I think they are Sunday after the gold cup hockey game.

WOW, the hockey final is the very last day?  Guess that is considered THE event!

Scoreless bit good tries by Rick Nash and Drew Doughty! I don't mind if he sores on his LA team mate.

I think I am going to stay off this board until the game is over.  My nerves will be shot otherwise.

Me either Kate!

Great period of good old North American hockey!  This is much better than that European style.

Jamie Benn gets his second goal of the series!!!
Thinks we need to do something when he gets back home

 

Excellent game.  No crap.  Just good hockey.

We did it. 1 to 0. Quick must be exhausted. So on to the Gold Medal game against Sweden on Sunday.

Ah they just interviewed Jamie Benn. He is so cute and shy. So happy it's a local boy that got the winning goal.

That's so great Kate!  It's nice when the lesser stars get to shine!

Good thing you're well practiced at getting up at 4:00 am since you'll have to do that on Sunday.  Not many things get me up at 7:00 am on a weekend but I'll be doing it for this!

Well, at least there will be a lot of Blackhawks in the game on Sunday!  There are several on team Sweden.  USA just had my sweetie Patrick Kane, whom I am very bummed for....

I made dark double chocolate cookies to cheer my guys up - surprisingly they don't seem to care at all   I am far more disappointed than they are.  I honestly think they just care about the Blackhawks and not the USA   

Any way we can get Patrick Kane on team Canada??? 

Well, I won't be watching the game Sunday, but good luck to both teams.

I'm gonna go eat some more cookies......   

Those sound good FC!  

Sure, we'll adopt Patrick....  

It really was a great game and not just because we won.  The teams were very even in talent and ability.  It was nice in the handshakes after the game when Toews gave PK a long hand on the shoulder and said a few words to him.  They have a lot of respect for each other.

Kane and Toews   

Congratulations Canada!! A well deserved win. Except for the first 10 minutes IMO Canada controlled the game. It was nice seeing Bergeron being such a big part of Canada's win.

I felt it really wasn't a great game. Without Jonathan Quick it easily could have been 5-0. USA had only 3 real decent threats. They were just beaten off the puck and Canada controlled the puck 60% of the game.

Well now I will have two Bruins in the Gold Medal hunt. Erickson for Sweden and Bergeron for Canada.
