I am getting really annoyed at the BBC's lack of Ice Hockey coverage. On their website there are 6 options of events while the Sweden v Germany men's game is on and not one of them is this game. Instead, we get Czech Republic v Slovakia at 5am just because nothing else is on. Not only is this the most bullshit game of the day but it is because Luge and Curling take up 2 of the free slots which the hockey game could use (the others are snowboard halfpipe and alpine skiing which are at least respectable events).

Oh, man, that's horrible, particularly since international hockey kicks so much ass with the small rinks and the lack of a red line. Even the games that aren't between hockey powers are exciting as hell just because momentum can change so damn fast under international rules.

Well, actually, in this case I will admit that I may have been wrong (not being able to see the other 2 games which were fairly close I may still have been right) but I am glad I stayed up to watch it. Both Vokoun and Halak were brilliant and kept their teams in with a chance all through the game, just a shame that Slovakia couldn't capitalise on any of the power plays and seemed to lack an offensive leader.

Just a mention for the BBC again though, his name is ZDENO NOT ZDENKO. Also, it is MARIAN Gaborik NOT MARTIN Gaborik. I swear, they seem to hate Ice Hockey so much and I just don't understand.

Jonas Hiller had the goalkeeping performance of the tournament there. So unlucky not to have won the game for Switzerland. 44/46 saves in standard time and no goals in OT. Even with 14 power play minutes in 60 minutes of standard time Canada only scored once.

Crosby once again tried to cheat it in though, almost succeeding in kicking it in towards the end of the 60.

So some chick from Cooma with a funny name and big teeth just won a medal or something in for jumping up in the air with a plank strapped to her feet. I dunno, something like that. I'm a bit vague because people here haven't been talking about it every five minutes at all. Not even slightly. Total media blackout. I mean Australia wins so many medals at the winter olympics these days that I guess it's not really a big deal any more, ya know?

I'm not hating on her! I'm hating on the Australian media in general and Channel 9 in particular's relentless jingoism! I preferred it when Australia didn't win any medals in the winter olympics and we could just enjoy it for what it is: a festival of weird and bizarre sports played by people who live on the other side of the world.

Plus you've got to admit, she does have big teeth and Torah's an awfully funny name for a Mormon.

Multiple times. It was beautiful. They also showed Plushenko walking away alone with a trainer in an empty hallway after they announced his score, and then cut to Lysacek celebrating with his cadre of coaches/family/fans/reporters/stadium staff.

As mormon problems go, America's are pretty minor. You know the formal-wear'd fuckos who troll neighborhoods to no success in the US? They're far more effective in the third world.

Anyway, the lady in the US ice dancing pair? I'd ice dance with her.

Biathlon is one of the winter sports that does make sense. As in, you can see where it came from at least. It's the physical hunting and trekking skills refined and standardised into a competitive event. It's also straight up badass.
