notyou, did you really believe that the head gear is for religious reasons? It's for smuggling bombs.
"My prophet told me to wear a scarf on my head"
Yeah, right.
The only religion is Christianity. Everything else is blasphemy.

Oooohh.......nevermind
Lol, I thought you were trying to predict total medals and stating that the games hadn't started yet, when they actually had.
You don't have much faith in the Canadian Mens team do you.

Sweden looked good today. Zetterberg got the game winner. Although, after going up by four goals, they let the Czech Republic back in it. The Swiss beat Latvia on a goal with 8 seconds left in regulation to win 1-0. Tougher matchup for them then maybe some thought it would be. Going to be an exciting tournament.
Bollocks.

oVo, I don't believe women's hockey has been in the Olympics for 16 Olympics. Are the medals referenced yearly, not just Olympics?

I'm watching this Canada-U.S.A. game, and one thing is clear. The American women are mostly dogs; the Canadian women look like women! Regardless of how the score ends up, this team has already won my heart!

Teemu Selanne predicts Latvia will win:
Teemu Selanne has been around the Olympics for a long time, now officially tied for the the most appearances in hockey with six. Selanne got a chance to weigh in on what he thinks about some teams competing in the Olympic games, here is what he had to say.
On Canada and the USA: “Same style. They play the same way. Only difference is that Canada could put in three teams of the same quality. They are the only country that could do that.”
On Russia: “We always hope that, because there is only one puck, that they’re going to be in trouble. I don’t think anyone can match their talent, but it’s a team sport. There is still only one puck.”
On Sweden: “Very deep. Veeery deep. On the big ice surface, I’m almost thinking they’re going to be, if not top, maybe a top-two favourite.”
Check out Selanne's opinions on Finland, the big ice and dark horse team to take home the gold.
