  Yup, Canada "kicked American ass" by .1 seconds to win the Gold. America only got Silver and Bronze. How bout medal count? Canada winning that one?

  Canadian born players might outnumber US born players in the NHL by nearly two to one, but what would salaries in the National Hockey League be if their weren't any US franchises? Do you believe Sidney Crosby would have had the ability to earn over 100 million dollars if the teams were located in Medicine Hat and Saskatoon rather than Detroit, Chicago, and New York. Better be careful about carving up the golden goose. :)

  Q How does the Canadian government plan to stop the spread of Asian carp in the Great Lakes? A By having their women Olympic athletes swim in them.

  C'mon guys....what's with all the Canda hate? I mean really, Canada is like the US if you made the US nicer. And added poutine. And made French a second official language. What could be wrong with that? And the whole Rob Ford thing. That is SOOOO American if you think about it. A bunch of suburbanites vote in a crazy crack smokin' Chris Farley-type dude as a big middle finger to the latte-sippin' liberals in Toronto. America invented that kind of shit! Plus, I must say that Rob Ford is frickin' hilarious. However, the Justin Bieber thing was uncalled for. Demerits to Canada on that one. Somebody needs to hire Juice to kidnap Bieber and taser him in the taint. Repeatedly!

  Ladies and Gentlemen....the mayor of Toronto! [view link] Can you imagine an American crack-smokin' mayor as cool as Rob Ford? Who? Marion Barry?! HELL NO! All I can say is "Canada Rocks!"

  Canada has spent most of this Olympics with more medals then the yanks, for a nation with 1/10th the population. As for Ford, believe it or not, he's the best mayor Toronto has had in a while. He's kinda like a republican, he's cut taxes, controlled spending, reined in the worst unions, and slow the gravy train. People like that aspect and if he runs on his achievements, he might get re-elected despite the gluttony.

  Women's hockey - pretty much a tossup. I think luck will be a major player in that game. Men's hockey - I think that the US speed on the big rink will tell. Also, I think that the US has managed to put together a star team instead of a team of stars. US by 2. As far as the two-woman bobsled went, the US driver gave away a huge lead with an abysmal last run.

  Little brothers always get a big kick out of beating up bigger brothers in meaningless things. The US would be like Canada if we were nicer and Canada would be more like America if they had an economy they could rely on without us being their trading partner; a border they needed to defend; a fishing industry we didn't have to save from the Japanese and a military bigger than NYPD. Location is Canada's best feature, but to be fair the skiing is fabulous.

  Art is on a testosterone high featuring raw Canadian nationalism, lol. Go for it! Too bad the Canadians don't have a neat superpatriotic phrase like "American Exceptionalism" to toss around. Curling = game for chronic insomniacs. You could doze for 15 minutes and not miss anything. :-)

  Well!...as expected my Canadian women kicked American ass in the gold medal hockey game as the Americans pulled their usual choke-ola when the game was on the line. In addition the American coach must have had her head up her cunt when she put that geriatric Julie Chu out on the ice when the game was on the line in the last minute of regular time. Marie-Philip Poulin is the new Canadian superwoman. 2 goals in the 2010 gold medal game.......2 goals in the 2014 gold medal game. She is 22 years old.....Canada's newest cold blooded American killer. farmerart is most joyously drunk at 4:30PM(MST).

  That was a pretty good gold medal game. Props to the lady Canadians for coming back and finishing it with power and style. The American women choked bad.

  apparently in Canada when you squeak out a win it's considered kicking ass. Ha they're funny up there in America's hat.

  That goal post must be from Canada, eh? Like 5 cm from a 3-1 loss in regulation instead of overtime, eh? USA lost the W hockey game, IMO.

  Congrats to the Canadian women. Have one on me, art. Come back win is kicking ass in my playbook. Just like Peyton Manning and the Broncos in the second half of the Super Bowl! Oh sorry :-), that's right Manning and the Broncos got their assess kicked real good. Long suffering KC Chiefs fans never forget!!

  That was a great come from behind victory for the Canadian women's hockey team. Was a great physical game too - it was cool that the ref let the girls play (mostly) and didn't call penalties every 3 seconds like I thought they would. When you have two teams of the caliper of the US & Canada you want to let them mix it up out there and have at it.

  Mention has been made in this thread of Justin Bieber and Rob Ford, two of Canada's less-than-stellar citizens. I just saw a news clip of Rob Ford in a Toronto council meeting at the moment of the golden goal in the Canada-USA women's hockey game. Fat Bobbie is jiggling all over and attempting to jump up and down in celebration. Seems like Fat Bobbie can jump maybe 5cm. Hilarious sight.

  Probably would have been worth the loss if I could have seen that! Actually, I really couldn't have list. Born in Detroit but lived in Brantford until I was 22. My sister and brother still live there. I just enjoyed the game. The US men still with by 2.

  Enjoy your Gold Medal, Art The dominance of Canada (and the US) in women's ice hockey could lead to it's demise as an Olympic sport. Unless some other countries become competitive, this could be the end of women's hockey.

  As expected Canadian men win curling gold medal, thrashing the Brits. Canadian women win gold and silver in something called ski cross?? The big one starts in 1 hour - Canada vs. USA men's hockey semi-final. The entire nation of Canada will shut down to watch that titanic battle on TV. I am as nervous as a herd of bull calves the day the vet comes with the testicle clippers.

  I still say that women's hockey shouldn't be an Olympic sport, the Canadian team is amazing, and now the American team is too, but what sort of sport is that with two great teams, and a bunch of lazy-lesbians for the other teams.

  Men's Hockey........Canada 1 USA 0 farmerart is mightily pleased!!! My boys play Sweden for the gold medal tomorrow. This game didn't have quite the drama of other Canada-USA hockey games, certainly nothing like the women's game yesterday. Kudos to J. Quick and P. Kessel on the American team. I always knew that Quick was a world-class goalie but I always thought that Phil Kessel was an over-rated little pissant. Gotta change that opinion of mine. He is the real deal....fast skater and deadly dangerous around the net. Well done, Yanks. Just remember that Canadians have the same grit, courage, and toughness that Americans possess. Even though it is -18C at Rancho farmerart right now I will be slapping a honkin' huge Wagyu ribeye on the outside BBQ and cracking open one of my remaining bottles of Latour '45 to celebrate. Olympics 2014 hangover #2 will be in the making right now.

  Just got a call from the good ol' boys down at the local requesting my presence at the 'We Beat The Yanks' party. My response was that I was already drunk and that I wasn't moving anywhere. The reply?.....'We're all drunk too. We'll send Fat Farley out on a sled to getcha.' Hmmmmm?........wonder where I'll be sleepin' tonight (assuming Fat Farley doesn't kill me on the SkiDoo)?

  Oy Vey! Olympics 2014 hangover #2 is much worse than hangover #1. Fat Farley didn't kill me on the SkiDoo trip to the pub last night.......this morning?.....I wish he did. Just saw a very peculiar play in the USA-Finland bronze medal hockey game.....USA penalty shot because of Finnish broken stick violation, never heard of a similar rule in NHL. Oops, Patrick Kane lost control of the puck on the penalty shot; game is still scoreless.

  The Dutch were the real surprise at these games in terms of medals. US was a bit of a disappointment with their medals being skewed toward bronze. Although Norway did well for a country with only 5 million, and they had a good gold medal count, looks like they settled with alot of bronze versus silver. And what was up with Germany? Canada's performance was very solid. Also surprising that Russian ended up cleaning up like they did.
