The mumblings of a Suu-chan fan
...you don't half make things tense. This is pretty much it for me in terms of the Winter Games. This is the matchup I've been waiting for, as have 19000 Canadian fans inside Canada Hockey Place and oh, say 30 million nationwide. The expectation around the country cannot be higher. Forget "owning the podium" and the highest host nation gold medal total in the history of the Winter Olympics, men's hockey is the one they want. Tickets were changing hands ...
The BBC has downgraded Prince Harry, as well as other members of the British royal family to Category Two/Other Notables importance. Fine, you might think, I never liked Harry much anyway.

A sucker punch with just two minutes gone. ...

The hosts eased their way into a 2-0 lead in the first, Patrick Marleau putting the puck past the Slovak tender Jaroslav Halak at 13:30, getting the call after his touch wasn't judged a high stick. Canada doubled their advantage less than two minutes ...
OK, now that was something. I know I've posted already today, but that was queued up in advance I'm giddy ahead of the Olympic hockey semi-finals tonight. After Canada's women showed the guys how it's done in winning gold in one of the closest, no I think in fact the closest match of the Games so far against the US (exception maybe of Finland/China), Canada hope to regain some of their pride by reaching the final on Sunday. After reviewing the previous game in which Canada mauled ...
