Absolutely.

Canada's hockey team. :wub:

Working from home today, so might be able to watch the men's curling final and the men's ice hockey semi-finals. 8-)

Men's curling bronze medal match was the best session of curling Ive seen so far. There were lots of mistakes but it was very interesting. Has gotten me hyped up for the Gold medal match.

Finish work at half 4 today, so will be able to get back in time to watch the hockey match I've been waiting for.

Might have to dig out my Crosby shirt.

Canadians are so buff. Scottish lads look like dweebs in comparison.

I'm probably biased but the Canadians look like douchebags

I agree. We're going to be grabbing at their coat tails at this rate. We shouldn't rely on Murdoch all the time.

They're letting the occasion get to them. This could be over by the 6th end.

I'm amazed that in an Olympic final you can have someone who can't even get it on the target with nothing in the way.

I've no idea how hard this is but I'd think after a couple of hours practice I could hit the target pretty regularly in that situation. What does it say about the sport where you can get to the Olympic final without being able to do that in your sleep.

Good God this is getting embarrassing.

They're totally outclassing us without even breaking a sweat. Men against boys.

As mentioned above the setting seems to be getting to them, and it's only getting worse the more they fall behind.

And the female commentator keeps going on about it. :fp:

Really poor so far, gifting it to them.

strawberry float it, it's a silver medal at worst - they've done pretty well to get this far.
