and it looked like some of the guys were having a little too much fun. Brad Richards and Krys Barch taking a shot at playing goaltender? And Marty playing forward with Brad in goal?

Although I would have liked a different angle shot of the picture of both Marty and Kari. You could see Kari, but Marty was facing away from the camera. Oh, to be a fly on the wall…although for all we know, they may have been snickering about their teammates’ ttempts to play their position.

Unfortunately, the actions of these Olympians contradict that by showing in this, the biggest win of their lifetime, they chose to drink and smoke. Therefore promoting it as THE way to celebrate.

Just for the record, they weren’t just drinking “cans of beer” but were also chugging bottles of champagne. They knew they were being photographed and videoed. I’ve seen posed pictures taken by professionals. And it was less than half an hour after the medal ceremony. The place was far from empty.

And yes, my daughter is intelligent enough to understand this is not acceptable behavior for her, however, I know A LOT of her classmates are not that perceptive and are much more concerned with being cool and fitting in.

Olympians aspire to be put on a pedestal quite literally. As such they are automatically considered role models by kids. Again, really bad choice by women who were old enough to know better.

And a gold medal (possibly, I hope not, but let’s be real…) I think you’ll see a re focused, happy Morrow. It might take a few games, but I think that’s what we’ll get.

As far as Canadian fans go….there are plenty of reasonable ones..like Art. We love Art. There are also a lot of them who think that hockey has no business in Phoenix or Dallas. These are the ones who can be a bit…for lack of a better word, “snobby” about hockey.

It’s a game. It’s everyone’s game. Not your game. Can’t we all just get along?

As a compliment.

I think we’re all a little jealous of the team Canada has put together. I was just saying that we don’t like being told, as we so often are, that hockey doesn’t belong in “the south.”

The vast majority of fans on either side contribute amiably to what is becoming a really fun rivalry indeed.

It’s another to be actively shown to be actively ragging the US when they do something good and actively cheering when something went wrong for the US in the game (what little did), as was shown on TV during the quarterfinal game against the Swiss on the 24th. It was pointed out by the analysts during the broadcast. Those are the people I have a problem with, not the ones who just come out to cheer a for their team and who want to see a good hockey game.

I haven’t been rooting against the Canadians. I wanted to see them back in the finals for US vs. Canada part 2. I was wondering last night what took them so long to get going. Our game was expected to be close and turned into a rout. Canada seemed to be expected to throttle all comers and only won 3-2 – to the team to beat the defending goal medalists, but still….
