Yesterday during the Ladies game, our corporate network slowed to a crawl as everyone was streaming the game. Luckily, we are our own ISP so our core network guys cranked things up to to the LAN to keep everybody watching running smooth.

When Canada scored in sudden death, it was hilarious to hear everybody apologizing for the noise on conference calls.

Our Mens' team is struggling a bit but lets hope it's a great game!

Amazing game. Canada really shut down the US offense.

Say, if we take home gold in both mens and womens hockey does that mean we won the Olympics. grin

Absolutely since all the other sports are weak.

I was quite shocked and dismayed to see Canada's lesbians beat up on ours! Usually, when we want something done, we send them in and just forget about it, but not this time. Oh, c'mon! Get over it! Ya, right, and there are no gay guys in figure skating or rhythmic gymnastics?! Though Johnny Weir does sure make "the Brians" look like lumberjacks!

And why do you think softball is now out of the summer Olymipos? It's out because our gals won every time and it discouraged new countries from forming teams.

In the 60's, the former USSR (until Putin and the last former KGB guy is dead, it will continue to be the USSR!) actually sent transgendered male athletes (as females-----They're Russians!! Who's gonna notice?) to The Summer Games. That's when the IOC had to introduce "gender testing." (Gawd, how did Martina ever pass?!)

See, North America never needs to do that. When we need real lumberjacks, we know which girls to call. Go sistahs!

Thanks Tom. That must have been a Canadian ref. Good body check!

Bob. We're actually saving our lesbians for when yours finally learn how to play hockey. I'll give them an A for effort though.

I never played hockey as a kid (except that one time I hit my friend in the head with his own stick, learned what a goose egg was...)but one of the first things I learned once I got on the ice was to keep my eyes up.
That lesson came from a guy 6" shorter than me with years of experience. Felt like I had skated into a wall. Literally. He laughed, I laughed, they laughed, I laughed, good time had by all.
Here I thought I was going to make my first goal (my first time with the puck) head down, gaining speed******stars.

Ahh, Ken, you one wrote that I should be ambassador to China.

Sean thinks more highly of me than that even!

Wait isn't Int. Amb. actually the Sec. of State? That's already being held by an asshole from Massachusetts!

He is THE guy that every American man alive can say, with all honesty, is far uglier than they are or will ever be. Foreign leaders only negotiate with him out of pity (or savage amusement by

Apparently the USA Hockey Team heard about this and decided to stay home for their last two games as well. How 'bout next time you're sick you post something about overachieving your wildest goals and winning scads of gold medals. Couldn't hurt.

The clip of the player bouncing off the ref and crawling from the ice still finishes a very distant second to the film clip of Mark Sanchez tucking the ball and running into the butt of one of his offensive linemen, whereupon he fumbled and the opposition recovered and took to the end zone for a TD.

BTW - I hope you feel better.
