Dumbass -

Playing well is only half of it in a single elimation hockey tournament. The
other half is luck.

Definitely makes Olympic hockey interesting. There's not a lot of
predictability to it.

The Canadians have played some really dominant hockey EXCEPT for
goaltending, so I'm quietly confident about their shot, despite the ugly
backdoor route they now have to the gold medal game.

"Quietly confident", yet loud enough about it that you'll be entitled to
dance and sing neener-neener-neener when it happens.

I like it.

Damn.


Yeah, but looking at first link convinces me that the odds of the US,
Russia or Sweden winning are not great either. Beating top notch
competition is hard for everyone, but someone's got to do it. The page
does illustrate why having to play that additional game is a big deal,
though.

Interesting, but not surprising. However, the last line made me
regurgitate. She has to be, what, 29, 30?

All that time you had to mature? You know, throwing up,
looking at water buffalo from the wrong end?
She was wasting her life doing what she wanted,
and now she has it. Best of everything to her.
She is genuinely happy having achieved her goal.
Many aren't.

Hey, at least she wasn't like the ice skater who said, now that they won, it
was time to make babies.

There must be some guy-equivalent to all this female gushing. Maybe instead
of going to Disneyland, you can be in an Old Spice commercial? That would be
hot.

a truly hearth warming story, the rise and rise of the Afghani cricket

Good point, well made
but, sometimes I have seen people very happy with 2nd; depends about
expectations. I don't think Lance was satisfied with 3rd last year.

Canada has ex-pat Asian communities who have taken up the torch from
falling hands, effectively reviving the sport from the ex-pat Englishmen
who formerly were the backbone of whatever cricket in Canada was.

Mr. Seinfeld could submit that 90 seconds as a doctoral thesis on sports
psychology.
