Hopefully Lindsey Vonn tucks those floppy meat curtains in tight before her run tonight. The downhill is all about aerodynamics.

My beloved mom was from Ireland...eastern County Galway, near the border with County Roscommon I asked her once during a Winter Olympics whether she was watching them. She said,
"Naah...The Irish don't really get into that sort of [thing] (ed. note: I sorta think she said a word that rhymes with "hit" in place of thing.). It would be one thing if you could show up on the day of the race and be able to compete, but if something takes too much time to prepare, then that makes it hard to do all of the other things you gotta do. It's better to be able to take care of a lot of things and to spend too much time on any one thing." It was funny to hear, because in America we tend to celebrate the single-minded pursuit of excellence. She definitely thought differently. Speaking of America, she would always tack on "in the Free World" whenever she said our country's name..."in the United States of America in the Free World", like it was an inside joke or something about all the news people and politicians who were ostentatious about their patriotism. |

USA men's hockey with a noble effort but just not good enough. Bad on the PP and every shootout shooter took the same shot, just different sides.

Totally. No shots on the power plays, just a crappy substitute for what should have been.
If the NHL was playing, I would have taken us to win the gold, even against Canada's best. That shootout was the epitome of USA Hockey, honestly. |

With the penalties he took, I'd have put Greenway on the fifth shot. Greenway is a one of the reasons we were gassed for a lot of this game. I get playing hard, but that guy had some epically stupid penalties that drained energy from the team.

We ****ing killed our own ****ing PPs. Mind blowing.
I'd say "get um next time", but there is no next time now. But credit to their goalie, as a hockey coach and goalie dad, that was a clinic. My son and I replayed all those saves in slow motion and he took notes. Lots for him to practice tomorrow night. Ha... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk |

Just sucks that we have to see the Skiing crap on the "Primetime" NBC where the women's hockey (who is battling for gold, and two great teams) is delegated to an afterthought show.
NBC sucks cawk. |
