There was another North American bunch who skated better and won.

It was nice to see the two best teams meet in the finals.
It was nice to see a good match.
It was nice to watch hockey uninterrupted by nonsensical fights.
I would wish though for the old days of quasi-amature sport and a hockey final 
that didn't seem like a north vs. south NHL All-Star match.

To my American friends on winning the silver medal in men's hockey  
this afternoon.

Well done.
And to my Canadian friends, in this forum and elsewhere,  
congratulations as well for a well-played game and the gold medal.  It  
was tough to see our American team lose but if it had to be, I'm glad  
it was to the Canadians.  Thanks for your recognition of our effort.


BTW, I think that the game was one of the best I've ever seen - like a  
Stanley Cup 7th game without the fighting...

I agree 100%!!

Unfortunately there's a small but vocal faction in this country
(headed by an obnoxious celebrity pundit named Don Cherry, former
NHLer with a completely unremarkable career and former NHL coach who
won nothing but was popular) who want fighting to be kept in the game.
 They claim that it's a "safety valve" and that if it was banned all
sorts of dirty stuff would happen since one couldn't legally retaliate
unpenalized transgressions and everyone would pick on the
small-but-skilled players if goons couldn't protect them by beating up
anyone who was mean to the big stars.

Of course, these people conveniently ignore or explain away the fact
that leagues (like US college hockey) and international tournaments
where fighting's banned often feature wonderfully skilled and exciting
play.

I wish they'd ban fighting in the NHL and all Canadian leagues.  It
cheapens the game, and to the uninitiated makes our sport look like
little more than Roller Derby or professional wrestling.

Funny, but in the NHL playoffs one often sees less fighting,
especially in tight games, because no one wants to risk being in the
penalty box when a team scores a winning goal.  Yet those games are
the most exciting games to watch.

I'm with you:  ban fighting, improve the game.

The Olympic tourney featured lots of robust play and was a pleasure to watch.

Sorry about this very OT rant, but we Canadians tend to take hockey
very seriously...

;-)

cheers,
frank

Earl Grey tea was a present to Albert's grandfather, the 2nd Earl Grey. It was 
prepared by a specialty tea shop for the rich and famous in London.

I doubt any of it ever found it's way into the Grey Cup.

This is really, really great news for both Norway and Russia. It has been a 
dispute about this border for 40 years now and the agreement open up huge areas 
of sea with large resources of fish and oil/gas. It also closes down the grey 
zone where illegal fishing has been done for years.

I can contain my satisfaction over the rights to petroleum reserves;
it'll be very costly and extremely technically difficult to mine it.

OTOH, for management of the fishing resources it's really great news.

The next thing I want to read about Blunkett is his obituary.

I was outside a court today on the other main story of the day (would
have been lead if Blunkett had stayed) and was chatting to a Beeb
cameraman. He knew David Blunkett and so i asked him what he was like. He
said, 'nasty piece of work. They say of him that the dog is nicer'

LOL

This was what i was on:



7 TV crews and 3 snappers. Of the snappers, two shooting Nikon, one
Canon. That's about the usual proportion for news in the UK.
