All the comments are stellar this morning so far… except the one from CA_QUERCUS… That’s what happens when you slap a bunch of NHLers together from different teams and ask them to play good hockey. I’m a Canadian, and I would love for them to win the gold medal, but they didn’t get the opportunity to mesh as a team at all before their first game, unlike the rest of the other teams. I’m being realistic here, they’re getting better, but if the NHL could have called a halt to the schedule a little earlier, I’m sure they would have had a better chance to figure themselves out. It was still a good game, quite the nail-biter, and yes, the American team came out the victor (well-deserved too). Hopefully playing the extra game to get to the quarter-finals will be what the Canadian team needs to get on the podium.
Meanwhile, let’s hear it for the Canadian Women’s team, who are playing their semi-final today against Finland, now THERE”s a kick-a$$ team. :)
I know this isn’t the form for this I don’t know any other way to say this and I want to tell CA_QUERCUS as well as cutiepie29 Thank You. for yesterday on the “Wizard of ID”
And you were right as rain CA_Q… My avitar was wrong and here too isn’t the place for that type of thing!
Either one of those guys is Clumsy Carp without his glasses, or there’s an unidentifiable participant on the slope.
The two guys of the left (from the skiers’ perspective) are only using one ski each, which would have made it appropriate for Wiley to be one of them, but of course they each have two factory-installed legs…
Tanya: My wings are all on the Swedish team, so I can’t complain! But yeah, I hope the Captain (Steve Y) gets a gold even at the expense of the Americans…who are also a bunch of thrown together pros. THAT excuse doesn’t pass muster.
freeholder1: I understand. After having a long conversation with the same family member yesterday, I’ve decided that I’m now on the “in your face” stance that they should just suck it up. :) They are professionals after all…

B.C.’s got my style votes - he’s so characteristically laid-back - but Grog wins the Joie de Vivre Award.

Grog’s going to have a wicked cow lick at the bottom.

These skiers including Grog must be bragged off for their skills on free style skiing!

Grog resembles my style (if it qualifies as a “style”).

A little addendum to my earlier post and this is quote is from a family member:
“They get paid an arm and a leg in the NHL, so they should just suck it up and play!”.
Honestly, I don’t know which side to go on now, my earlier stance, or this new “in your face” stance! :D

What has me so confused is since when is Freestyle Skiing a team sport or did the stating gate malfunction?
