    It doesn't totally make up for The Winter War, but Finland must take great delight in kicking Russia square in the nuts on an international stage.

    sooo ... the dutch have basically swept the speed skating ... gold/silver/bronze ... just dominating the event at all distances male and female ... mentioned that last night to a friend who's brother is involved with the sport and he said that apparently ALL the dutch speed skaters have a medical note saying they have exercise induced asthma meaning they are allowed to take a puff of an inhaler prior to their events ... pretty crazy that every single one of their speed skaters all have the same condition ... anyways ... thought i would share ...

    I would want to see some kind of proof about that before jumping to any conclusions.... that's quite an accusation.

    Whoooaaaa. Canada ties the Women's gold medal game with only 30 seconds left in regulation! That almost makes me wish I were watching women's hockey! :P

    blerg! blowing a two goal lead with 3.5 minutes to go? that is going to be a long plane ride back to the states.

    Wow! I actually kind of feel sorry for the US women. That must be fucking crushing, to lose like THAT. @-) Pretty pleased though. :)

    Yes, i agree that the ref choked, along with the U.S.A.. Can't be blowing a 2 goal lead.

    At least the game was decided in OT and NOT that gimmick shoot-out.

    crazy ...

    the linesperson getting in the way ... the puck hitting the post on the empty net ... the slash call (i heard the US were warned not to do it) ... the non-penalty shot call ...

    Can't think of many losses worse than that. So brutal. Some very questionable refereeing towards both teams at the end there.
