Women's Hockey
Went to the Canada-U.S. exhibition game last night at GM Place. Canada was unfortunate not to win; a costly mistake -- a pass straight up the middle from behind the net -- ensured the American win.
If Canada can manage to keep up their effort and offense while controlling their mistakes, I can't see why they won't be able to put together a win over the States during the Olympics. I mean really, we all pretty much know they'll both be in the Gold Medal game, right?
It was some good hockey, though. Despite the passing not being as crisp and controlled as men's, and the speed not being quite what we see in the NHL, the stickhandling and mucking in the corners is excellent. Those women are some gritty players, I tell you.

gripping....
Thanks to TTP's resident feminist for such an important contribution. It's difficult to follow women's ice hockey or such pursuits of obvious relevance from England. Even if you wanted to.
Can we have a poll about whose tits are nicer now?

never fear when tits are involved!
Be careful Fastshow, some of the STRAIGHT ones are my friends!
Keeps, I agree with the cripsness stuff, but really, if Canada continues to lose it half way through the game, then they won't take the damn Americans.
I believe it is all a mind thing when they play against the states!-I'll be rooting (aussie joke) for them, but I hope the whole country doesn't have the high expectations like they have had in the past!
If they take them, all the better!

"GO Canada GO!"

I'm delighted to hear you have friends, that bit of information should settle a few bets going about in TTP world.
Anything with tits has absolutely no interest to me in terms of Olympic hockey. People with tits have no business pretending to play competitive hockey. Look where it got Krutov for fcuk's sake.
Best of luck to 'em, I say, Fastshow.

Visa colours
I realize that Visa is obviously a (the) main sponsor for the Canadian Bobsled team, but don't you think it's more than a little pathetic that we can't even keep Canadian colours on our sled? A blue maple leaf? What's up with that?

Good point, Keeper
The color choice is weak. However, a couple of those birds would look great in red and white bikinis. That is the main problem with the photo. The women are too wrapped up. Red and white thongs, please.

Gold for Sale & Peltier
SALT LAKE CITY (Reuters) -- Canada's Jamie Sale and David Pelletier will be awarded a gold medal in the Olympics pairs figure skating, an International Olympic Committee (IOC) source told Reuters on Friday.
"The executive board has followed the International Skating Union proposal to award two gold medals and the votes of the French judge have been cancelled, making the final result four votes all," the source said.
The Canadian duo finished second to Russians Yelena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze last Monday, sparking a storm of controversy. The source said the Russians would keep their gold medal.
Asked if the decision was the correct solution, IOC president Jacques Rogge replied: "Yes, because it in the interests of the athletes."
The source said the French judge Marie-Reine Le Gougne had said there had been pressure put upon her to vote for the Russian duo. Her vote gave a 5-4 verdict from the nine judges in favour of the Russians.
Rogge and ISU president Ottavio Cinquanta are scheduled to give a joint news conference at 11 a.m.
