I've never seen Ohno skate this well in 8 years. Ridiculous. 2 Canadians in the final.

Reutter skates in her completely stacked semi in a few minutes. Aside from some random Canadian, she'll have a south korean and all-world Skate God Wang Meng to fight through in her race.

I disagree. I think he's lost a step. He's been good, but has gotten some breaks.

someone noticed a bit of gamesmanship that failed in Ohno's race. When that South Korean went down he knew he was toast, but it looked like he was reaching up to try to take down Ohno too. Ohno obviously would have been advanced anyway, but it would have allowed the other south korean to advance too with a 2nd-place finish if the first one would have taken him out.

Dang. It seems like I have a million questions and more are coming all the time. Here's another one ...

In the hockey game, the Canadian dudes are playing guys in blue uniforms. The blue uniform goalie has a picture of a guy on his helmet. Anybody know who the person is in the helmet picture? Seems like an odd thing to have on your goalie hat.

Dang. That was one heck of a goal. The Canadian guy just barely touched the puck and redirected it just enough. I don't see how he could have done that on purpose, but the commentators are saying he did. Dang.

Because, you know, I'm smart and all:

Vladimir Dzurilla - played for Czechoslovakia in the 1968, 1972, and 1976 Winter Olympics and the 1976 Canada Cup. He led Czechoslovakia to the 1976 and 1977 World Titles over the Soviet Union.

Dang. I was wondering if it wasn't Vladimir. It kinda looked like him, but I wasn't sure.

If he's lost a step, I can't tell. He's making all these crazy passes that you rarely see from any of the others.

1 ****ing night. ONE GODDAMN NIGHT without Figure skating please. I don't give a **** about some Canadian twirler.

Pretty sure they'll show the "Figure Skating Gala" tomorrow over the bronze medal game.

Well, maybe he's using his lost step to leap over the crazy circle skaters who are falling down all over the place. Personally, I don't see how you can maintain your focus - let alone your momentum - with circle skaters falling and floundering and flipping and flopping and flapping on the ice right in front of you.

lol, Bob Costas: "anywhere you go in Canada, you'll have a person who speaks enough French to communicate."

Haha, I'd like to see him try French where I lived. People would give him the WTF look.

Dang. Trotting out that poor girl like that. NBC is a bunch of douche bags, in my opinion.

I guess she didn't have to appear, but maybe she felt like she had to. I'm telling you, this is like a friggin' Oprah episode with sporting event interludes. Rot in Hell, NBC. Rot and burn and suffer and weep, you bastards.
