The short track speed skating has been brutal, as has the snowboarding so far.  :wackysmile:
Looking forward to seeing the "Flying Tomato"    ;D


I really think it's time for the Olympics to be extended by a couple days, it would give them room to reschedule an event because of weather as they clearly should have done for women's slope style with the wind. But also for the spectators, so they can see more events, instead of cramming everything into the fewest days possible.

Yeah. Weird how they postponed  the mens downhill, but not the women slopestyle BAD FORM.

Cris is wearing his dad's number.


It's only been two periods, but I think this team can beat the Caps, easily.
and Greenway needs a proper helmet, the face shield is pointless if it only comes down to your eyebrows

Caps management must be involved with this team, took their foot off with a 2 goal lead and lose in OT

Penishead is such an idiot, I bet he would talk about the players dick sizes if he thought he could get away with it

Ok, if the NHL isn't sending anyone over why am I listening to Penishead, Dingleburry, Jonsey and the dancing fool??

I've got to watch some of the hockey.  I got a little confused about a few players.  Gionta isn't re-signed and therefore not controlled by the NHL.  Bishop I hadn't realised had left the NHL and a couple of others. 
Great to see Datsyuk and a few other favourites again, for sure.


Some very weird and sloppy results.  Both USA and OAR losing after being 2 - 0 up.  That's just pure laziness and arrogance.  Serves them right.


Saw a few ladies matches also.  USA / Canada was awesome!


We finally got a medal!  Bronze in the skeleton!


Loads of fun so far.  The Flying Tomato flew.  The board X was carnage.
I am

I see Cynde has taught the national team well on how to dive

well, it's only been 2 periods but the KHL all stars look pretty good against the USA minor league/amateurs. Caps really need to get this Greenway kid, looks like he has potential.

   I think someone has Greenway. Pretty sure the wild have his rights. I wouldn't mind a kid like that on the Caps

The last time I saw a performance like that was Calgary in '88, that was the last time the Soviet Red Army team won the gold. How ironic is it that Russian players will get their first gold, but not Russia.


Datsuyk and Kovalchuk still look good

I think they won gold in 92 as team unified. You remember the 88 Olympics? Weren't you pretty young at that time.
