It's as bad as the typical British are like other Europeans argument, or the Canadians are like Americans argument. I've also heard many other country's people complain about how blacks are built a certain way so that they run faster or something like that. Terrible excuses. I wish people throughout…

Having pros play in the Olympics worked this time since it was held in Vancouver. However, I worry about Sochi in 2014. How will the travel time and amount of minutes played affect NHLers coming back to play an NHL game the very next day? Even now, teams vying for…

Don't know what the big deal is here.

The big deal is that a fine bunch of NHLers won against another fine bunch of NHLers. It was the Pittsburgh Penguins' Sidney Crosby vs. the Vancouver Canucks' Ryan Kesler; both of which scored goals in this game. Having these Olympics gave…

Just because Shizuka Arakawa won her fluke gold with Tarasova

MadokaKato: You obviously got your facts wrong. Shizuka Arakawa fired Tarasova and hired Morozov as her coach way before the Olympics. He then coached her in the Torino Olympics where she won the gold.

BPoint: True, it was a fluke albeit a very thrilling one. Sorry to say, I was a little to young to experience the '72 Summit Series you mention, but I'm sure it must have been great as well. Bet the Soviets were as stunned as they were in the 1980…

It must have been hard if you were both an American and a Pittsburgh Penquins fan, trying to root for Crosby to lose. Or maybe a Candian and Canucks fan rooting for Ryan Kesler to lose. LOL

Congratulations Canada for a well-played game. Also congrats to the U.S. for providing some great action. Although it was an exciting game to watch and it was a good game, it kind of didn't seem any different than watching an good NHL game. Yes, each were playing for their country,…

I was pleased with the ample warnings given. After watching the news and actually seeing some areas (for example in Miyagi) that had some flooding due to this tsunami, I became more aware that it is real and could happen. Luckily the amount of water rushing to shore was not…

I was surprised that countries like Great Britain, Finland, and Italy (home of the great Alberto Tomba) and other typical cold weather countries like Denmark, didn't do much better.
