Today, the tie could be broken with men’s and women’s curling finals.

Vankuveras-medalas-21-1

Canada has been on a tear lately. The Curling and Hockey  finals could see Canada’s total increase during the last few days of the 2010 Winter Olympics.

But first, Team Canada has to defeat Slovakia in today’s semi-final.

Hopefully, the USA and Canada will advance to the final. What a great way to end the games!

Beery gold-medal celebration could get Canada’s women’s team in trouble.

What kind of trouble???

I can understand the celebration, but it should have been in a more private area. Not a wise move.

The Game between Canada and the USA was certainly exciting and a highlight of the 2010 Winter Olympics. The US team put on a great deal of pressure especially in the last period.

The Canadian goalie was terrific!

Oh Canada! Women’s hockey blanks USA for third straight gold


Canada leaf3.aspxpoulin-marie-philip-100225

The Canadian women’s hockey team skated up to the top step of the Olympic podium once again.

The Canadians won their third consecutive gold medal at the Olympics with an efficient 2-0 victory against the rival United States on Thursday.

Teenage whiz Marie-Philip Poulin scored two first-period goals and that was enough because netminder Shannon Szabados shut the door on the Americans with a wonderful 28-save performance
