The government is bad where ever you go. It's really the lesser then two evils. I for one would take the Canadian government over the American on in a second!!!

I'm really happy for all you 2010 Olympic fans. I'm gonna let you finish, but Paul Henderson had the biggest Canadian hockey goal moment of all time. In fact, the whole Russia vs Canada series from beginning to end and how the events unfolded was epic. How dirty those Russian players were. Alan Eagleson being escorted over to the Canadian hockey players' bench to ensure his safety, as he gives the Russian fans the finger.

Who's KAHA (dildo) A and CCCP?

j/k

While I realize how that series went down and how epic it was, 2010 Olympics was like...yesterday.... and in my back yard, literally. I was with my Canadian brothers, in the streets, cheering and being proud of our win.

BTW
Henderson's jersey just sold for 1.2M

My reaction was to go "yey" and crawl into a closet-sized room at the Manga Cafe I was watching the game at, at 4am after many many drinks.

TRD Rs200 06-28-2010 09:49 PM

Yeah, sorry about that.

I shouldn't have tried to turned the thread into a bloody history lesson.

Pfft! Apples and oranges! Albeit very tasty apples and oranges. :p

The '72 series was fantastic, even though I've only watched it all through videos and read it in books. However, like it's been mentioned, '10 was in my backyard and I (we!) we all able to watch it live, foibles and all, and experience everything as in unfolded. As great as the '72 Olympics were, 2010 will simply be much better, if only because I'll be able to tell my kids that I was there.

nabs 06-28-2010 10:15 PM

that last video really got to me.. man o man o man.

tonyvu 06-28-2010 10:17 PM

fuck i miss it all...

Not really racist! 06-28-2010 10:25 PM

i'd give everything for those 2 weeks to return :(

Lomac 06-28-2010 10:42 PM

I was just reading an old article from before the Olympics started and found an interesting quote that I'd like to share:

Quote:

“If Canadians have an Olympic fantasy, it’s this,” said Gary Mason, a Vancouver-based columnist for The Globe and Mail. “We’re neck and neck in the medal count and it all comes down to the final event, men’s hockey. Canada and Russia are tied, 2-2, in the third, and Sidney Crosby knocks in the winning goal in overtime.”
Source - NY Times
Except for the Russia bit, how freakin' scarily accurate was that?

Ikkaku 06-28-2010 10:45 PM

good ol' Mr. Mason, I was friends with his son in elementary school and it was like an event when he came to talk with our class :lol

wobuffet 06-28-2010 10:51 PM

...too beautiful.
