My God I Love This Game...

Hockey is it for me. I don't think I love anything more than hockey (wink). Playing it, watching it, talking about it. It's never a bad time for hockey. Oh wait....except during the Olympics when games are scheduled in the middle of the day.... Sure, not all the games are in the middle of the day. I am going to one a 9PM at night! Still, better than in the middle of the day when I'm at work.

So, Canada's Women's Team is 2-0 with wins over Slovakia and Switzerland. The win over Slovakia was a complete blow out, 18-0. Actually, the 10-1 win over Switzerland was pretty much a blowout too. I felt back for the Slovakians, until I found out that in one of their Olympic Qualifying games, they blew out Bulgaria 82-0. That's averaging 27 goals a period. Did Bulgaria even show up? 139 shots on net...I think the only Bulgarian to touch the puck was the goalie, as she was being pelted with it repeatedly. Average shots on net per game for the NHL is about 27. Kudos to the her.

Right now, the Men's team is playing their first game and they are giving the Norwegians a good ol' fashion ass kicking. Should I feel torn, working for a Norwegian based company? Nope, totally not, but that might be because I often feel the need to give Norwegians a good ol' fashioned ass kicking. Not all of them, just a select few... See, that's not very nice of me. I shouldn't have such feelings of angst towards people. It must be the hockey player in my blood...

Final score: Canada 8 Norway 0. Awesome. This is the only time I will cheer for Iginla...

Up next, Switzerland.
