Won the men's hockey gold today.

The women's team won it the other day.

Let me know, can you watch this?

Unfortunately no. Even my dial up is slower than usual after the recent rain. The phone lines out here are crummy. And I still hate Comcast.

Thousands downtown Vancouver celebrating the men's hockey gold. It's a proud day for Canada.

The record for number of golds won by an Olympic host country was 10 held by by Norway (1994) and the U.S. (2002). Canada won the 14th gold today with the men's hockey.

And if I recall from the article the record for most Gold's period was 13 - so that makes it a double record.

I wish you could see the all the youtube videos of the celebrating. I was in Edmonton in the early 90s when the Oilers won all those Stanley Cups. The partying downtown was something else. The University was right across the river. 30,000 students. I can just imagine what Vancouver will be like tonight.

DRUNK.

My prediction for tomorrow is a run on Pepto Bismol at the local Pharmacy.

What was the final score anyway?

It got me thinking - I still tear up every time I think of the "miracle on ice" in Lake Placid when a bunch of kids beat the Russians for the Gold.

Yeah, what an incredible show they put on. I remember it, the kids really surpassed everyone's expectations. They may have expected to win but I doubt the odds on them were very good.

I still remember the talk before the game about how they were one of the best Olympic Hockey teams the U.S. had ever fielded and yet the Russians were on the level of the NHL and that the best Team USA could hope for was to not be blown out too badly and then win the Silver.
