The hockey is whimpy though. Since it's the Olympics and it's supposed to be all friendly and shit, they don't do any cool tackles or start fighting.
Olympics!

What? You didn't watch the CZE-ITA game, did you? Not that you had any reason to, but there were no fewer than three brawls, if I remember correctly. The last one was like in the 18th minute of the 3rd period when we were winning 4:1, so it was spectacularly unnecessary, too.
Also, in the Finns game, Ruutu slashed Jágr in the face so fiercely that he got sent to the showers and Jágr retired from the game. The Czech team then tried to get Ruutu banned for the rest of the tournament.
In other news, the Czech men's relay team screwed up their registration so a replacement skier had to be called in from another town on the morning of the event. He was totally unprepared, and basically lost the race (received the relay 3rd, finished 9th).
I just mentioned it because the Overseer was complaining there was no fighting going on. By the way, Jágr's teammates agreed that the damage wouldn't have been much less if Jágr had been wearing the normal helmet. Also nothing about Jágr's type being against the regulations.
The truth is somewhere inbetween, I guess. The media the world over tend to handle international sports in an us-vs-them, propagandist way.

You're about fourteen months behind me, I was about 200 months behind reason.
I would ask if I were the only one who was totally uninterested in this, but the others probably did not post in this thread.
Never mind.

Where'd That 6th Toe Come From?
Well at least winter for a few months is better than 300+ rain days / year

Water Chip? Been There, Done That
Well then at least now, don't whine about Selänne's hit in the face that was for the same reason, a shitty helm, and an accidental hit with a stick.Kormy said:
Cause nudity is funny, no matter what they are doing, it's funny, especially if the sport that the nude people are doing, is in cold and the people try to look like as if there were nothing wrong with being nude, like nude skiing.DirtyDreamDesigner said:

To beat finland is allways a killer 8)I did say "if we plan to keep this up". I couldn't have known Hadamczik's strategy was "start sucking as badly as before."Luke said:
You know, I actually rooted for Sweden in the final. They play cleaner, and the Finns have uglier jerseys (come on, cyan and white? Ever heard of color coordination?).
