Day Thirteen (Seventeen): Gold
So it's the Olympic open thread but today there's not a lot to be open for. Just two events today, the 50k mass start and then the hockey. The 50k almost breaks your heart to think about. They bring along a guy to become the first ever person to compete in both the Olympics and Paralympics and...
Day Nine (Thirteen): A Great Day of Hockey
Have some thoughts on the Olympics, hockey-related or otherwise? This is your dumping ground. And my oh my there are some things to throw down today. A gold medal performance in ski-cross, which is one of the weirdest events in the Games. It honestly looks like an event where the skiiers looked...
Day Eight (Twelve): A Chance to be Embarassed
Consider this the open Olympic thread where we pout about hockey disappointments and cheer on non-hockey victories! I know the big news from yesterday is the gold medal in the ice dance but I never have been able to sit through an entire ice dance event so it's hard for me to get excited about...
Day Seven (Eleven): Lent is a Season for Reflection
It's also a season to connect with the suffering of Christ. So thanks for helping out Canadian Olympic team! And not just the hockey team. This is the open Olympic thread so we can feel free to complain about other failures as well! I watched the women's 1500 speed skating yesterday and the...
Day Six (Ten): Mandelbaum, Mandelbaum, Mandelbaum
Technically, this remains the open Olympic thread. If you want to leave some thoughts on a non-hockey Olympic moment, you could theoretically do so. (Congratulations to Kevin Martin on exorcising his Great Britain demons last night in the men's curling. Good win, man!) But why would you? Today...
Giantkillers
When I walked in the arena, I was expecting a blowout. Not the Canadians and the Swiss. Sadly, I watched that one on CTV's streaming service. By the time I was heading into the Russia-Slovakia game I had already had time to absorb and dissect the mini-upset. Little chance of winning the group stage...
Day Four (Eight): The Beatings Did Not Continue
Consider this the open Olympic thread. Want to leave some thoughts on a non-hockey Olympic event? This is the place. My non-hockey moment of the day yesterday came when Anja Paerson returned from a horrendous fall in the downhill to tackle the same course yesterday in the combined event. She...
Day Three (Seven): The Beatings Will Continue
Consider this the open Olympic thread. Want to leave some thoughts about a Canadian gold silver medal winner? This is the place. Marianne St-Gelais! Short-track speed skating is often really exciting but yesterday's final didn't have much suspense. The Chinese racer took a huge lead after 50...
Lesser Known Olympic Hockey Teams: A Primer for Vancouver Part 3 of 3
This is the final segment in my "Get to Know a Small Hockey Nation" preview for Vancouver. A quick recap, in Part 1 I looked at Group A with Norway's 1 NHLer, Mark Streit's Switzerland and a brief look at the qualification process. In Part 2 I looked at Dinamo Riga, errr, Latvia in the Group of...
Lesser Known Olympic Hockey Teams: A Primer for Vancouver Part 1 Update
With the start of the Olympic hockey tournament two weeks away, I thought I would do this since I know a good amount about the lesser known teams in the IIHF. I figured tonight would be a good time too since we don't have a game to watch and discuss, and there isn't much Isles news otherwise...
