Just spent time watching a big night for Canada at the Olympics. The big event was, of course, the Canadian Women's 2-0 win over the USA for the hockey Gold Medal. A terrific game, and amazing play between the pipes for the goalkeeper, whose name I will to attempt to spell here. A game effort by the Americans, but they just couldn't get past the hot goalie.
I have to say that I was disappointed by the American team during the medal ceremony. Yes, the disappointment after losing such a tough game is something that I am sure that I will never be able to grasp, but, c'mon, ladies, you were being awarded an Olympic Silver Medal! Did you have to look like you were being lined up to be shot at sunrise? I was happy to see Robert Morris University's Brianne McLauglin smile and wave to the crowd and be happy when she received her medal.
Elsewhere, both the Canadian men's and women's curling teams won their semi-final matches and will throw the rocks for gold medals on Saturday. And after watching the beatdown that the men's hockey team laid on the Ruskies last night, it is looking like the host nation is set up for a sweep in the two national sports north of the border.
One final comment, is there a better play-by-play guy in any sport than Doc Emerick? That guy is really amazing calling a hockey game.
