Mmm, Summer time is next, time to watch Team USA repeat after the Redeem Team.
Grats Canada, I assume winning gold in hockey is as important to winning gold in bball is to us? If so, it's a great feeling and enjoy.

I think these Olympics have replaced Montreal hoisting the Cup in '93 and the Jays winning the World Series in '92/'93 as the most memorable, meaningful sporting event ever for me.

I would never have guessed that based on your recent posts.

CTV gets an A+ for these Olympics from me. MUCH better than CBC has ever done. 3 networks rolling unique content all the time, everything live/no tape delays, amazing online streaming of all three networks (complete with real-time updating annoted bookmarks), etc. Fucking incredible. I hope CBC never gets another Olympic contract. CTV is fucking godly at this.

Are you kidding? Playing "I Believe" every five seconds? No Ron MacLean? Misspelling "Ladie's" for Ladies' events? Referring to Rochette's competing in ice skating after her mother's death as being, "under duress?" Plus all those TSN jokers all over the place. No Peter Mansbridge?!

CTV is full of illiterate frat-boys.

Nice having the multiple channels though.

- CBC would just have had their own version of "I Believe" spamming the network constantly
- dont give a fuck if Ron MacLean is there or not
- dont give a fuck about Peter Mansbridge

Most importantly, CBC would have had ONE channel running the games, meaning tape delays and all that garbage that our US friends are enduring.

I for one welcome our CTV overlords.

ah so you "let" a Country 1/10th your size grab more golds than you to let them have their moment.


Of course.

I was so impressed with their internet streaming too. Excellent coverage.

What? That comment makes no sense coming off what I said.

Someone made an unrelated comment about the US having won more medals in 2008, and you made a comment suggesting that somehow wasn't the case this year as well.

CTV didn't need Ron MacLean. It was brilliant of CTV to get Brian Williams working for them.

Question: does any other country get as much mileage from their national anthem as Canada does? The Canadian crowd spontaneously broke into it during last night's curling final. Seems like Canadians were singing it all the time during the Olympics.

Possibly The French.

A+ indeed. Totally changed my impression of CTV. When I can stream live HD from the three channels and its perfect and its non-stop coverage, CBC can't ever compete.

Obama loses boozy bet with Harper

Barack Obama will have to shell out $45.40 for a case of 24 Molson Canadian, after losing a bet to Stephen Harper.

The U.S. President can blame Sidney Crosby, who scored the winning goal in overtime to win the Olympic gold medal in men's hockey.

(snip)

The leaders' wager follows a bet between White House spokesman Robert Gibbs and the Prime Minister’s spokesman, Dimitri Soudas. They bet on the outcome of the women’s gold-medal hockey game.

The Canadians prevailed, and Mr. Gibbs must wear a Team Canada jersey at his next press gaggle.

Gibbs' bet seemed a lot more fun... at least we'll physically know he lost the bet tomorrow.

we need more FPS games
Well that was a great final. The OT winner by Crosby was straight out of a movie, especially with him messing up the one on one in the third, and his unspectacular tournament up to then.

Congrats to Canada on a great Olympic Games both in organisation & performance.

I also want to thank the BBC & Eurosport for their great (HD, multiple live feeds) coverage of the games.

Hope we get a fun Closing ceremony to put the icing on the cake.
