4-2 - Oh flip!

I feel sick.

I can't watch it anymore. I want to cry/scream/smash TV! Seriously though, Ryan Miller is bloody brilliant. WHY ISN'T HE CANADIAN?!!!!

Sorry ladies........ hahaha, not really

Ryan Miller is definitely all-American and my hometown NHL goalie, too. Love our Buffalo boys

It''s been a great hockey day! Two amazing games.

OMG, Miller is AMAZING!!! Today has definitely been a great hockey day!

It was an exciting game, and my sons favourite team''s goalie won it for the USA!! Congrats to the young American team (for now)

It will be a long hard journey, but I still believe in our Canadian boys!!!!

I gave up at 4-2, my nerves wouldn''t stand it! Thanks to a VPN connection to the BBC, I''m now watching the BAFTA''s

But it''s not over .......

Go Canada!

 

[miraclesrule]

They make that ski jumping look so easy. Hell, I can''t even do it on my Wii Fit Plus and all I have to do is straighten my legs at the right time. I crash and burn almost every time.

Craziness. I''m loving the fact that Bode Miller is metaling during these games. It was too much pressure during the last Winter games.

Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir are the pride of Canada tonight, taking GOLD in the Ice Dance

Yay!!

 

[stci]

Yesssssss yessssss yessssss! Those ice dancers was on clouds! I''m soooo proud to be Canadian!

Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir :

 

[stci]

Now.... I send all my love and support to Joannie Rochette. She can win and she''s the most incredible ladies!

Your mother will help you Joannie!

 

[miraclesrule]

Spoilers!!!!!!!!!!!!
It''s only 9:24 p.m. here. Oh well, I can still enjoy. I thought women''s skating was on tonight. Okay, gotta go...ice skating is on now.

 

[Gailey]

Sorry Miracles!

The news is not all bad for you

Keep watching!

 

[miraclesrule]

I''m good. I am taping it in case I pass out before the ice dancing is completed. Spoiler or not, I still look forward to watching each performance. I love the Olympics. I know I am old school, but I really miss being able to watch every event when it was happening and I loathe the current commercialism of the broadcasting methodology. Oh well, complaining won''t change it. I just need to enjoy it.

 

[miraclesrule]

Those aerial jumps are insane. And they got in the way of the ice dancing. I guess I have to wait until tomorrow to watch the DVR.

Loving it! I was disappointed about the dispute over Men''s figure skating gold vs silver metal. It seems the losers always point fingers at the ''politics'', but come one! You know your sports when you commit your life to it. Play WITH the ''politics'', not whine about it!

Ditto. I didn''t think highly of Plushenko before with his vignette while he was driving around in Russia, but after this mess I have a few choice words about him and his arrogance that aren''t allowed on PS.

I know! When I saw him driving around St Petersburg talking sh*t like ''my enemies are shaking right now knowing that I am going to compete again''. I thought maybe his English was not good and he did not understand how strong those words he used were. NOW I know he really feels exactly the same way as conveyed by his language!

Heh, did you see that he awarded himself a platinum medal on his own website? http://evgeni-plushenko.com/ Talk about being a sore loser...

Joannie... what an incredible performance! I don't know how she did it. I really don't. I would absolutely love to see her on the podium tomorrow night. I think she has captured the heart of anybody with a heart. She absolutely deserved the standing ovation. Her mother would be so proud.

You have to read this. Have some tissues handy:

Joannie

This one too!

Seriously, good for her! It takes an incredible amount of strength to put out a performance like that under such duress. However, she received some pretty inflated scores. Oh well! Figure skating at its best

 

[Gailey]

I was out last night, so I didn''t see the skating. If anyone can find a link to a video of Joannie skating, I would be very grateful.

My fingers and toes are crossed for the hockey tonight.

Go Canada!

 

[Gailey]

And the Russians are going home!

Go Team Canada!!!!!!!
7-3

 

[Burberrygirl]

Omg, I''m sooo disappointed with how Russia played! I expected way more from them, Evengi Nabokov was BAD, eeekkk!!!! Great job Canada

 

[Gailey]

Double congratulations to Canada's two-women bobsleigh teams - taking gold and silver tonight!!

Really? I respect your judgement icekid, and I am no expert, but I watched all those women skate and I felt she placed exactly where she deserved. If she had have placed higher I would agree with you.

I was out for most of the day today, so I missed this event.

I''m snuggling in for the day tomorrow though. I''m off to check what''s on the docket for tomorrow. I think it''s the ladies hockey final amongst other notable events.
