On something serious, cliché
alanharris:
I hate to do this and I’m sure other Canadians have already done so far more eloquently than I could ever hope to but:
These Olympic Games have unleashed a wave of national unity and outward patriotism that I have never seen. We are a modest nation and I assure everyone who is not Canadian reading this that we will apologise for our patriotic expressions in the days ahead.

Team USA was a worthy opponent. Great job, guys.
What happens on the ice, stays on the ice. We go back to being best friends tomorrow.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Brian Williams' thank-you note to Canada →
After tonight’s broadcast and after looting our hotel mini-bars, we’re going to try to brave the blizzard and fly east to home and hearth, and to do laundry well into next week. Before we leave this thoroughly polite country, the polite thing to do is leave behind a thank-you note. Thank you, Canada: For being such good hosts. For your unfailing courtesy. For your (mostly) beautiful...
Team USA better call up Coach Bombay.

Harper, Obama wage hockey bet →
If the U.S. men’s hockey team wins, Prime Minister Harper must purchase a case of Yuengling for the President. Yuengling is the oldest brewery in America, based in Pennsylvania.
Now, if Canada wins, the President must buy Mr. Harper a case of Molson Canadian.
This follows a bet between White House spokesman Robert Gibbs and the Prime Minister’s spokesman Dimitri Soudas over the outcome of the...

6-0 USA with 2:00 left in the first.
Dude, I hope Jacques Rogge doesn’t nix men’s hockey too because the victories are so lopsided in favour of the USA and Canada.

Russia whines about 'cowardly' Canada →
Last night, Russian hockey stars were being … well … Russian about their loss.
“We wanted to play as well as we could, but things turned out … you know the rest yourselves … like always,” Alexander Ovechkin told Sport Express.
Pravda notes that Ovechkin’s queer phrasing is a takeoff on a famed political quote, the “like always” used popularly to lament Russia’s frequent sporting letdowns. In...

Tremendously Tremendous : The Greatest Hockey Game...
soupsoup:
While NBC was airing “Ice Dancing,” their sister network MSNBC was airing one of the most exciting hockey games in recent history. It didn’t take a genius to figure the matching of the home host Canadian team taking on a surging USA team would be a compelling matchup. NBC realized the error of their ways too late, cutting off the two-man bobsled to capture the final moments of the...
smashley asked: what was that? I am crying.
Ok for real though what is the one thing you miss most about Canada? What do you not miss at all?

The crowd on MSNBC is getting awesome.

how-to-kiss-distinctly-american asked: Hope you know I didn't any offense with that quip. And seriously, if you can arrange national health care in exchange for the Stanley Cup, I can be in Pittsburgh by 3am.
passinthenight asked: This is not a question, but I'm disappointed as well. I believe that we are disappointed for the same reason. Anyway, I really like your blog and your URL.
Now I feel like I should ask you a question to help you deal with the disappointment.
So...what's your favourite poutine place?

Dear NBC:
inothernews:
You are going carry the USA vs. Canada (which Canada’s totally going to win, BTW, like, they’re TOTALLY gonna own us) men’s hockey game NOT on regular broadcast NBC, but on MSNBC? THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU???!!!
