Haha awesome. He did crush some Canadians. I did find out last night that Oklahoma City has an AHL team, The Barons. Pretty excited for that since I will be moving to Oklahoma shortly.

That was fucking hilarious. I was expecting someone to take down a gazelle at any minute.

I know, right? So well done.

I just watched today's women's figure skating, and I have to admit that I found myself cheering for the 15 year old Russian girl, and was disappointed when she stumbled. It is just remarkable to me that she qualified to compete by something like 22 days, and already has a gold medal under her belt. Pretty cool.

Also, here's my hockey predictions:
Women:
Canada 3 USA 2
Men:
Canada 2 USA 1

Since when was Ashley Wagner 15?!

Though I doubt I would have been discriminate about it.

Bro, between team competition and ice dancing there has been at least 20 prior opportunities, or are you someone that can't if there is a dude on screen? I get it.

Oh, her. I started hoping she tripped with ever jump after her "bullshit" comment when she didn't get the marks she thought she deserved.

Way to be classy on international television at the pinnacle of your career.

Meh, it could have been any of a bunch of them, I'm sure. She just happened to be on.

LOL @ Intrinsic. Good point, guess I didn't watch on team night.
