Finalssssssssssss

Canada men's hockey team is in the finalssssssssss. They will verse the us, and have a turn to make ammends on the other match against the u.s which they lost. This time hopefully the score will be different. What and end though, a huge mess infront, a scramble, lots of pressure, a good chance missed and an empty net, the only thing missing was a goal. keep it up guys, the girls already won, follow in thier footsteps. :P

Cursed?

some may say that this year's Olympics are cursed. Why? Well, because of the deaths that have been happening. It all started with the death of Nodar, the Luger, who died before the Olympics even officially began. Another was the death of the skater's mom, who flew over to meet her, but tragically died. Also there was a death on the highway when someone, obviously from another country, was driving and on a long spinning turn got caught up on the sides of the road. Eventually had a head on collision with another car. So as you can see, these olympics have brought around quite a few deaths, but what we need to do is look forward, and hope the future is bright. We have to do this while making sure we don't totally forget about the different people who have died. :( > :)

Gold medal?

Canada's women hockey team are currently in the gold medal game against the US.

So far it is 0-0 in the first period

Goal Canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes, come on keep it up girls

Yes another goal for canada, and guess who, Poulin strikes again
I can almost ssee the gold, keep it up!!!!!

WE have Won it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
we just got back at the united states with are women's team beating them and shutting them out. 2-0 Our women's team played really well, with saves from the goalie and a nice double for Poulin to seal the deal. I wonder how she might feel, ecstatic to say the least. But on the other hand, those americans are looking pretty sad. The players are crying, the goalie as well. Thisis a crushing blow, it must hurt to lose in the finals, they lose out on the gold medal, but they should not fret, they did well.
Now its up to the men's hockey team to keep it up. They have to face slovakia tomorrow in the Semis and if they do, they verse the winner of United States vs. Norway. We are hoping to face the americans again and complete a double. They have already beaten our men's team, but the next time they won't be so lucky.

What a day it must be for Hayley Wickenheiser, captaining her country to another gold medal.

In other news canada is bringing in the medals. They are still no match for the Americans, but we can still say with pride wee can beat them in hockey !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Men's speed skating 500m was going on. Race one, so far the germans are on the top two. Canadians doing good.

Feb.14, 2010, the 3rd day of olympics

DAY 1

Today, a busy day, a sad day with the death of a georgian luger named Nodar Kumaritashvili.
He was doing a test run early friday morning, it was his last turn in his final training run. While going aroung 90 miles per hour, he tilted his head forward, his last move. He lost control of his sled crashing into a wall. His body went airborne with his arms flailing at his sides, he crashed into an unpadded steel pole. It all lasted about 48.9 seconds, from start to crash. I send heartfelt condolences to his parents who might have watched on of the videos, and felt heart broken. All the best to them.

The mood is not as happy as it should but it is still a big moment for vancouver and Canada.

The opening ceeremony starting with fireworks, banging drums. And the games were officialy dedicated to Nodar Kumaritashvili.

A crowd of 60,000 people, are there. They begin by listening to "I believe".
They bring up 4 large totem poles and hear from the aboriginals. All the countries are now announced one by one. Beginning with Austria and ending with Canada.
