Good Game, Canada

If I’m going to make a blog post when the US beats Canada in an Olympic game, I have to be fair and make a post when we lose to them in the Gold Medal game. Were there any better hockey games in the Olympics than the two played between our two nations? That’s a serious question that no one that reads this blog can answer, most likely. Sure, I watched a handful of games, but not nearly all of them. But the US and Canada were clearly the best two teams throughout the tournament, and both games were hard-fought, absolute nailbiters that ended with explosions of ecstasy. One was sealed shut with an empty net goal flicked in by a diving American, while the other was ended by Canada’s golden boy, who is at this very moment no doubt getting serviced by three beautiful women of his choosing. And that’s not counting the gold medal girls — he pounded a few of those out in the locker room showers. Bastard.

But hey, I’m happy for Canada. They won the most gold medals and they closed out their own Olympics like a goddamn Hollywood script. Oh wait, then they had closing ceremonies with Nickelback. FUCK YOU, Canada. I wish we won — and gave Sidney Crosby a career-ending injury in the process.

Seriously though, that game was absolutely incredible to watch and might have convinced me to watch some Stanley Cup playoffs this year. I forgot how amazing hockey can be. Yet another sport I rather watch than soccer.

    Interesting that you would not consider soccer when I can find a lot of similarities between hockey and soccer as far as rules, strategies, and no real commercial watching.

    But it is of course different with the hitting etc vs the falling etc. However, I do think I enjoyed the no fighting in the Olympics, to get back at a guy you had to crush him on the boards or mid-ice. Because how often is there a real good fight where one guy takes a ton of damage anyway? That’s why we watch UFC.

      Well 1) I just mentioned soccer to troll and 2) they are similar, but hockey is like a faster, non-pussified version of soccer.

      But I’ll give soccer another chance during the World Cup this year. The last time I watched soccer for like 10-15 minutes, it actually seemed exciting.
