Default Winter Olympic thoughts?

As per another post I just replied to, what did you guys think of the Winter Olympics in Vancouver??

I lived it here, it was in my hometown. The city and country were united like I have never seen before. Thousands lined the streets every night. Was pretty proud of all of the athletes, the city and the country.

The Mens hockey gold was the best end to the games I could have imagined. Favorite performances by Canadians were Biledeau's first gold on home soil, Jon Montgomery's skeleton gold and him chugging a jug of beer as he walked through Whistler village and Joannie Rochette skating for the bronze after her mom's death. To top it off the Canadian ice hockey Gold was back stopped by our home Goalie Roberto Luongo.





Jon Montgomery's beer:


Us Canadians do wish more americans would love the sport of hockey as much as we do. Its such a great sport. The American team played phenomenal and I was also very proud of another local player for the US team Ryan Kesler.

I hope all you guys got a glimpse of my city and hope you know its a great city and we don't all live in igloos up here. lol

Glad you enjoyed the games, it's pretty amazing for it to be in your back yard.
