Gold Face Olympic Power = Canada

JMC: ever been to Wisconsin, North Dakota, Montana or Minnesota in the winter time? Ever visited Buffalo after they have a snow storm? And while it hasn't happened in a while, I think I can remember the Blue Jays winning a couple of World Series some time back.

I for one, am very glad that the USA held these games and maintained a secure site so that those who have worked so hard had the opportunity to offer their best!

The game looked like an NHL all star game, making the Canadian/American sides SEEM arbitrary. Good game, though. Go America Jr.!!

Sale and Pelletier were fantastic in their exhibition skate, not to mention that they EARNED the Gold Medal they were finally awarded. Oh yeah, THE hockey game was good too. And if we had to lose, I'm glad it was to our Canadien brethern. CHEERS. Craig

Well remeber that we Americanos are not the best at winter sports.But to get around it gen-x'ers came up with freestyle and snowboarding etc so intsead of the 20 medals we were expected to get we ended up with 34.Hey speaking of snowboarding wasn't the last olympics one in which the gold meadalist was stripped of his medal as they found Canabis in his system and it was declared a "performance enhancing drug" (Like Dude have you seen where I put my gold medal?).But yeah good on 'ya to the canucks.They are so hocky crazy and have been so dominant per capita vs us in the NHL I couldn't believe this was the first gold in 50 years (or was that first EVER).As a former Bostonian where we were the proud worls series champions of 1917 I could relate.Hey look what happened when the Pat's won.We are so starved after the Celts dried up in the 80's the city which has 1.25 Million people had it's population doubled when an equal amount of fans came to have a blat after the superbowl.And in Canada?With Hockey?It must be a blast.And the country makes good speakers to.Forget the Brits whom are always mentiones our freinds to the north are the best ones we have.

Does this now mean the Boston red sox and the toronto maple leafs will win the big one in their respective sports? Scary thoughts....
