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.

Cool. So it was A game. No dishonor in losing to an inspired team.

I still remember the goalie on the Lake Placid team - he was incredible - some of the saves he made were two levels above what he normally played - he was a brick wall. However, it was a team effort.

That was incredible. Best sports moment of my life.

I would have to agree. No other sports achievement affects me quite the same way. It was the combination of things - that they were kids and that they were going against lonnnnnng odds - the bloody Russian Team was a Pro team in all but name and had bested some of the NHL's best. So, to rise to that level and play as they did for even one game and to pull off the upset of the century was simply incredible - a miracle on ice.
