Oh the Olympics
Today marks the second week of the 2006 Olympics at Torino, or Turin – whichever one you want to say. Today, Canada has won it's nineteenth and twentieth medal, a gold and a bronze in 5000m Women's Speedskating. Cindy Classen and Claire Hughes, dam! Man I can't believe that Canada is already at twenty medals. In Salt Lake, we only got seventeen medals. Now we are tied for forth. I've been keeping up to date with all this Olypmic stuff and it is tough watching the number one nation in hockey get destroyed by Finland, Switzerland, and Russia. It sucks. Wayne should have picked the younger guys like Spezza, Crosby, or Staal. Well, they are still young and obviously, they will still have their next chance in Vancouver. For many of the players on this year's roster, it will mostly likely be their last. These players include Pronger, Sakic, Brodeur, and Blake (I think he's on the team). T'was a valiant effort for those guys eh? But not enough. It sucks. On a brighter note, the Women's team won gold against Sweden. I can't beleive Sweden beat the Americans, ha, then finally we get more variety in Women's hockey. I saw that shoot out between Sweden and America. DAM NO ONE COULD GET IT IN THE NET! Those who actually got it past the goalie…missed the net or hit the cross bar. Only one player from Sweden actually got a goal. I was so nervous when they had to recall one of the American's missed shot because the Swedish goaltender came out of the crease too early. She tried again…AND GOT STONED!!!! It was very exciting. I didn't find any of Canada's matches exciting though. Pounding Italy 16-0 was really boring. I watched the second period and Canada scored two goals in the first two minutes. I turned the television off knowing it was totally over. The next game against Russia, I dind't even bother to watch because I knew Russia would get owned. I was right, 12-0. Then all of a sudden Canada gets criticism because of racking up the goals. Dam, hasn't the Canadian coach told her players to take it down a notch. I remember when my teacher told us to do that. It was in elementary school, we were owning a team like 6-0, and my teacher said to tone it down and just dump and pass. No more scoring. Oh yeah, Canada's curling team, won gold against Finland. Pay back for what happened in hockey. Mr. Gushue and his kick ass curling techniques, lol. All of a sudden after watching that match, I want to go curl some stones. Curling is like golf. It's boring to watch but very fun to play. Everyone should try it. It's a lot harder than it looks too. I mean, trying to stay in that lunged position for a while is a killer. It's all about strategy too. It's much like Warcraft; you build your defence and your attacking stones, dam and just slide away! NICE!
That's it for now toodlez, I could write more, but…my parents are home and I'm supposed to be doing hwk! HAHAHA. Now I gotta help them with the groceries
