Now I just need cable. When is curling gonna happen? Best sport in the winter Olympics. **** yeah!**** yeah! I described it to someone who'd never heard of it as "competitive janitorial duties on ice". If that doesn't get them watching I don't know what will. Title: Re: * * * Official Winter Olympics Thread * * * Post by: Termin8or on February 10, 2014, 04:31:15 pm Actually, curling is one of the most fun sports to play. Have you ever played? Pretty much anybody can play and feel like they don't suck O0
Title: Re: * * * Official Winter Olympics Thread * * * Post by: Turboweasle on February 10, 2014, 04:47:41 pm Have you ever played? I saw ice on the ground last week for the first time in at least a decade. I've never played any ice-based sport.

Title: Re: * * * Official Winter Olympics Thread * * * Post by: Autumn1194 on February 11, 2014, 08:31:18 am Why does he need to call? There's only one road in Canada... I'm sure he'll see your igloo.

They go barefoot in the snow. Why does he need to call? There's only one road in Canada... I'm sure he'll see your igloo. There may only be one road, but it's pretty long, so....he might want to know which end to start at b) Title: Re: * * * Official Winter Olympics Thread * * * Post by: Autumn1194 on February 12, 2014, 06:20:10 pm uh oh... the usa is closing in :)

There's so much talent in Canada that they look worse because everyone they play against is good. That's not the case in Minnesota. Every city of 40 000 people has a AAA team. It's ridiculous.

It's ridiculous. quite afew high school players get scholarships around the coumtry, heck msu mankato has had afew players drafted into the nhl from the twin cities. Title: Re: * * * Official Winter Olympics Thread * * * Post by: dudedudedude for Moderator on February 13, 2014, 11:34:00 pm I grew up in a city of 80 000 people. In my year, nine guys were drafted to the OHL, two first round picks. Seven played games in the OHL, two did not. All nine were offered scholarships. The talent coming out at that age in Canada is absurd.
Title: Re: * * * Official Winter Olympics Thread * * * Post by: Permanent Poopface on February 14, 2014, 12:23:55 am my high school had 2 guys in it that got drafted in the first round, Brendan Witt and Chris Wells, Brendon use to let me punch him in the stomach as hard as I could, he actually smoked a bowl with me about a week before he left for the draft which I thought was a bad idea
Title: Re: * * * Official Winter Olympics Thread * * * Post by: dudedudedude for Moderator on February 14, 2014, 01:23:22 am D1 college hockey is lower level than OHL. Brenden Witt was a fucktard in the NHL.
Title: Re: * * * Official Winter Olympics Thread * * * Post by: Permanent Poopface on February 14, 2014, 11:00:25 am Was he? I didn't follow his career since I was never a big hockey watcher. Was he a decent player in the nhl? I know he was a brawler with the Seattle Thunderbirds
Title: Re: * * * Official Winter Olympics Thread * * * Post by: BMan on February 14, 2014, 01:13:01 pm R.I.P. "medal points" theory :D

Weighted ranking Systematic rankings based upon a weighted point system with the most points awarded to a gold medal have also been devised. For example, in 1908, the British press invented a ranking system based on awarding gold medals 5 points, silver medals 3 points, and bronze medals 1 point (5:3:1). Title: Re: * * * Official Winter Olympics Thread * * * Post by: BMan on February 14, 2014, 01:45:34 pm Them 1908 Brits were always nutty like that.
Title: Re: * * * Official Winter Olympics Thread * * * Post by: Termin8or on February 14, 2014, 01:54:41 pm But the press uses different metrics....like most Gold or whatever. Apparently there is no standard, but I just wanted you to know that I wasn't crazy and someone "official" had used the point system.
Title: Re: * * * Official Winter Olympics Thread * * * Post by: Autumn1194 on February 14, 2014, 02:40:52 pm USA is better than Canada

Title: Re: * * * Official Winter Olympics Thread * * * Post by: BMan on February 20, 2014, 01:54:28 pm Give Canada credit for a great comeback.
Title: Re: * * * Official Winter Olympics Thread * * * Post by: Termin8or on February 20, 2014, 02:00:56 pm yeah, Canada didn't let up. The US probably feels like the Leafs from last year :D

I'm glad the women's team won, because I honestly don't think Canada's chances of beating USA today are very high. Nonetheless, go Canada go!

Title: Re: * * * Official Winter Olympics Thread * * * Post by: Termin8or on February 21, 2014, 01:09:31 pm Canada played a great game. I would have been disappointed if the US came back. I think that's our best game yet.
Title: Re: * * * Official Winter Olympics Thread * * * Post by: Permanent Poopface on February 21, 2014, 01:44:36 pm canada **** us at hockey with no lube
Title: Re: * * * Official Winter Olympics Thread * * * Post by: Tiger on February 21, 2014, 02:25:01 pm Definitely our best game yet. Wasn't really the American's forwards' fault either. Our D corps is simply the best out there. They barely had any opportunities.
