    I say gold = 6 points, silver = 3, and bronze = 2. By that count, the U.S. is winning, it seems.

    Its USA vs Canada for the finals Sunday 12:15PST and they are showing this game luckily on standard tv.

    This is going to be a good game.

    I set my phone alarm to remind me.

    Hockey is small time. Men's Curling Finals today at 6:00 PM EST.
  • AlanAlan
    I wonder if they will show the whole curling match instead of cutting to some other sport this time...

    Basically a national tragedy happened at the 2010 Olympics: The Austrian men's team failed to capture a single medal in alpine skiing.

    If you had predicted this here before the game started, you would have either been laughed out of your reputation or outright burned at the stake.

    If you want a tragedy then try this. Remember, it's not about winning, it's about being protected at the victory party of the Swedish women's curling team.

    Also: Win for Finland winning the bronze, fail for the main finnish newspaper printing "... Finland is the only country with two olympic ice hockey medals in the 00's".

    Well, the headline is true, until tonight :)
    Except of course if you count women's ice hockey.

    Olympics Fail of my day: NBC decided to announce that the men's hockey final was going to be live at 11 CST today, so I made extra effort to get up early so that I could see the hockey goodness. Woke up all tired and drearily turned on the TV, to find out that, oh, they're showing Cross-country live before the hockey final, and they didn't mention it. Derp.

    Yeah, I looked it up this morning. The block schedule didn't say which event would come first, but I finally got an accurate listing. Thanks, though.
  • chaosof99chaosof99
    Well, you could have looked at the homepage of the Olympics rather than the TV listings for that.

    Yes, but hindsight is 20:20. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter.

    I just learned that cross country skiing is basically the same as F1, pit stops and all.

    Well, I'm expecting the US to win. It's not certain, but it seems probable.
    EDIT: Now, after the first period, Canada seems more likely to win.

    Mike Richards dominates the first period :)

    Yeah, the U.S. is fucked.
    EDIT: Okay, they're back in with a chance.

    MIRACLES: I DO BELIEVE IN THEM.

    Oh, wow.

    Oh Canada, Oh canada, We stand on cars and freeze!
  • chaosof99chaosof99
    Worst good ending possible. Crosby plays like shit all game long, but of course he gets the overtime winner and now he's going to overshadow everybody else who contributed a lot more to that particular game than he did.

    Well, Congrats to Team Canada and it's good to see Mike Richards earn a medal :)
  • lackofcheeselackofcheese
    Well, using my medal scoring, the USA still has the most points.

    I'm just saying, one doesn't usually equate french fries, gravy, and cheese with astounding athleticism.

    That said, I would like to try poutine. Shit looks delicious.

    Isn't that just a little hypocritical?
    I would also like to try it, though.
