Olympics Anyone?......

[Coley]

Lol....the winter Olympics always seem to suffer from a few popularity issues, even with Canadians.
I haven't been tuning in too much, but given the last few days....I will try to catch a few more events before the end of the games because there is some great competition in there for sure.

More importantly tho'....the hockey stuff!!

Okay quick update on that.
Tonight...two of the world's biggest hockey rivals...the U.S and the Canadian women go for Gold tonight. One game, one chance...all out.
These two teams are seriously at each other's throat all the time (........like a lot of women when they get together on a competitive level...even socially, lol)
Regardless, it will be a damn good game and its on tonight at/near 11:00pm EST or about 8:00 pm on the west coast.

Now the Mens hockey....well, some good news and some bad news.
First off, as some may or may not know the NHL banned professional players from the Olympics this year...so no 'superstars' are in the Olympics...no Crosbys, Mcdavids, Ovechkins, Kanes, etc....which has cut the attendance to the games substantially.
Regardless, the teams are still very fast and very skilled.

Anyhow, the U.S unfortunately lost to the Czechs which bounced them out of the tournament and the medal round and 'put them on the trailer' as they say in racing circles.
It was lost in a shoot out...which is never a great way to either win or lose in my opinion.....Regardless...sorry for that bad news guys.

Canada beat the Fins early this morning to advance to the Semi-Finals against ze' Germans, who surprisingly beat Sweden who are on their way home now as well....and that was a big surprise.

Meanwhile, the other semi-final game will put the Czechs against the OAR (olympic athletes of Russia).....and you never know when the next Russian Athlete is going to get caught for doping....so might be a half bench full of players left come game time, lol.

Those games go tomorrow (early) so I will be up and watching to see if Canada can get past ze' Germans and advance to the Gold Medal game.

So.....that is at least the 'catch up' on the hockey deal for the Olympics!

All good
