Les Olympiques: the hockey edition
I want women's hockey to be a part of the Olympics; it's really important for the sport and I love it. But I also don't ever want to see America or Canada beat another team into the ground. Honestly, I find it sort of revolting. And it hasn't improved at all since the sport entered the Olympics, nor does it look like it will. I also want Canada to win the gold, but I do wish that someone besides the Americans could whump them good. And ditto for the Americans.
I also want Canada to get the gold in men's hockey, but they've also to stop giving them and the US such easy opponents in the first round. (Though the Swiss are putting up a good fight.) I know you want them through, hockey organizers, but it shouldn't be such a given. Let them fight it out like everyone else.
Also, how does one say 'Go, Norway, go!' in Norwegian? My chanting should be linguistically appropriate on Saturday.
For extra measure because my hatred is irrational: I HATE YOU SYDNEY CROSBY AND ALWAYS WILL. They could show you rescuing puppies and orphans from burning buildings and I would still hate you.
ETA: Given that I have no idea who most of the players on the Swiss team are, it would be nice for the commentators to say a little about them from time to time.
ETA 2: Oh Brodeur. And Pronger is an idiot.
ETA 3: HOW CAN YOU GO FROM SAYING THAT CROSBY'S LINE IS NOT DOING WELL TO SAYING THEY NEED TO PUT HIM ON THE ICE MORE?
ETA 4: AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
ETA 5: WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE CROSBY WINNING THE SHOOTOUT? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. I mean, I am glad they won but I don't need to hear how Crosby is Gretzky. HE IS NOT GRETZKY. I have never wanted Gretzky to be eaten by bears for one.
