Hockey, the luge (I recommend everyone try it at some point!), bobsledding, and curling only because it's the only thing worth watching at 10 am before work.

Well... One thing you have to remember is that the Olympic rules for hockey are a lot less strict than the NHL. Our guys are trying to stick to what they know, and at times it can really screw them over because people are getting away with things they normally couldn't. Not to mention they have the coach from the Carolina Hurricanes coaching the US... Which, he's not TOO bad, but still... It's a shame Scotty Bowman isn't coaching anymore... He's was great with the Redwings. Heh... sorry Clark. Just realized you're from Canada... And you're right.. You guys have been struggling a bit, but again, like I said above, I think it's the rules thing.

Those rules are not that hard to adjust to. They are not to different from the NHL nowadays. But i think as a canadian style of hockey, International style rules are more to our favor. We as canadian's have a more physical style of hockey and international rules gives us a bit more slack then the now-nazi type rules the NHL has. So i say the rules are more to our favor. As for our men's team, they just plain sucked it up. They were running into eachother, taking stupid holding penalties. I mean what the *bleep-itty-bleep* is Bertuzzi doing GRABBING A JERSEY WITH HIS HAND!!!!
*takes a deep breath* sorry.....yes that is all i have to say....*walks off and body checks the next person he sees*

My honest opinion is i dont think Pat Quinn is a very good head coach. I've never liked his coaching, ever!

Do the Canadians have Super Mario on their team? I haven't cared about hockey since Jagr got shipped off to the Caps for whinning about money.

I was watching the women's hockey and it's almost as brutal as men's. Only difference I've noticed is that the women wear full facial protection - full visors - instead of the half ones some men wear. But still...
