Well it appears to be halfway through the Olympic Games. I have a few things to say about it. First does anyone buy into the death of an
athlete at these Winter games like in the luge event due to error of the athlete himself than the course. People were stating facts that the track was to fast and stuff. Then when they made the changes to make the track safer,
if i am correct on this. That Luge Athletes stated that the track was to slow after the changes were made. I pretty much confused. Since who wonders what could have happened or not have happened at the Winter games if nothing was done at all if the incident leading to the luge athletes death never happened.

Also i see that at this point in the games the host country which is Canada, i think is last in the medal standings total that is. While the United States is on top with 20 or more medals and we are only halfway into
the games.

Next is the men skating event where a Russian and American that i wasn't to much aware of faced each other in the short and long program. In
the end the American skater came up on top. And the Russian skater came second. There was a bit of a controversy there also about this quad jump where you turn four times into the air from the ice. The Russian skater did the
quad while the USA skater just made sure he landed his jumps and skated gracefully to win the gold. Does this mean the quad jump doesn't garantee a win or loss? There is much more, such as Shawn White for snowboarding winning gold, Lindsey Von winning gold in ski events. Now Apollo Ono trying to win a record of seven medals or something close to it in these games.

All that matters is the US kicked Canada's ass in hockey last night 5-3. When we win the gold it will be a slap in the face to all of Canada, especially those jerk french-canadians.

Does it REALLY matter? 90% of so-called "American" hockey players are Canadian.

Ever since the Olympics started allowing professional athletes to compete, I have refused to watch and will continue to do so.

I highly doubt it is 90% or even half for that matter. As for pros in the olympics, unfortunately they aren't going back on that one. Even some so called amateurs are basically pros without the title because they make money off endorsements.

I guess you will not be watching until you are dead because it isn't going to change back at this point. It's all about the $$$$$$$$.

I have noticed that USA hockey has improved over the years. Probably since the fact that the saying the tide has turned a different way. Meaning that USA hockey has come a long way and we are seeing it at these winter olympic games. Since i am a devil's fan i was rooting for Martin Broduer the goalie for the Canadian team since he is a talented goalie on the New Jersey Devil team and broke many records. I though understand and can see why that USA fans are stoked about the US winning overr Canada in hockey. As for going for the gold i don't know. I have very little knowledge since i
only get one channel of NBC coverage of the winter olympic games. So for the record i caught the rest of the game of USA winning over Canada on sports
radio station from New York. Wasn't able to see the game at all on
television. One of the downsides of not having cable or satellite tv.

Damn. Finally someone speaking my language. But, in my opinion, patriotism aside, I wouldn't care if the US or Canada won the gold. As long as it was one of them. After all, there are Canadian players that play on American teams in the NHL and Americans that play on Canadian teams (obviously).

The only non-North American player I'm rooting for is Evgeni Nabokov. Go SHARKS!

Just wondering, though it has been a few months after the winter Olympics. I forgot who won the hockey tournament, in the winter games in the end. Please remind me, since i am sure to have seen the game, just don't remember who played or won.
