Well, Canada is sure to have the Women Ice Hockey Gold, the Men's Ice Hockey contest will be good, but I think that Canada will win since we have so much talent home....

BTW, Canada beat Italy 16-0 in Women Hockey today, both Foward Hayley Wickenheiser (no22) and defensewomen Caroline Ouellette (no13) got a hat trick and 2 assist... Canada is dominating, shooting 66 times on goals while Italy only have 5 shots...

I'm dissappointed Popeye. You don't watch Olympics or American Idol. lol, jk..

No I don't. That's why I'm so wise. Mostly on Tv I watch news,real sports(American Football baseball, basketball, NASCAR),History channel, Discovery channel, learning channel..stuff like that.

In ice-hockey, we surely comes from challenging part, Most of our NHL stars are either injured or unable to participate by their teams...NHL should honour the olympics and World championship games far better so the best players could participate...

But today, everybody remembers to watch the Normal size ski jumping contest...One of the three most waited events here in finland...

US men won the gold and silver in the snowboarding halfpipe.

What do you mean by unable to participate by their team ?? Normally, there's a olympic break during which the NHL havn't schedule any match... That's why Team Canada and Team USA are only composed NHL players... Seriously,not to bash on you but Finland don't have some big star... Most of the Finish good player are injured like Joni Pitkanen (D), Mika Kiprusoff (G) and Sami Kapanen (F)

Well, Team Canada have suffer of some departure and injury, top defensemen Scott Niedermeyer and Ed Jovanoski are unable to play, superstar and leader Mario Lemieux have annouced that he didn't want to participate in the Olympic (he was the Team Captain back in 2002) and leader Steve Yzerman didn't wanted to participated either...

Well.. We Swedes are as always sending 200 athletes that will completely fail to win any gold and we will all cheer when we finally at the end the olympics return with just a bronze in ladies Ice-boccia.

The NHL star filled ice-hockey team is destined to make the same worthless result as when they lost agains Belarus last time. My guess is that these NHL stars is a buch of primadonnas that just is not teamplayers at all. Its not enough with having talents in a team, they have to be able to play as a team!

So now i sit at the TV and watch the olympics just to make sure to cheer every time Norway doesent get a medal
