Team Canada has scored a goal! In fact, they've scored three in the first period and lead the Czech Republic 3-0 in the first intermission. I was starting to fear we'd never score again. When Brad Richards scored at the 7:37 mark you may have heard a massive and
Helen Upperton is competing today in the women's two-man bobsleigh Olympic event. That's quite the misnomer. Shouldn't it be called the women's two-woman bobsleigh event?

I don't know what to say... In 1924, we beat the Swiss 33-0 in the Olympics. This, my friends, is a long way from 1924. Today, we hit a hot goaltender Martin Gerber who stood on his head and made 49 saves on 49 shots from Team Canada. What should
After one period, we're actually losing to Switzerland. Former St. John's Maple Leaf Paul di Pietro, who I just assumed was as Canadian as maple syrup and bagged milk, scored on Martin Brodeur while Martin Gerber has been stoning us at the other end. I'm not sounding any alarm bells

Prior to writing this entry regarding the Olympic games in Turin, I checked out CBC's broadcast schedule to learn when the opening ceremonies would be taking place. It's clearly marked Feb 10 01:00 which I immediately interpreted as one in the morning. Only this morning did I see "pm"
At 13:00 our time tomorrow, the opening ceremony of the 2006 Olympic Winter Games will be held in Turin, Italy. As I did during the 2004 games in Athens, I'll be following our fellow Canadians and writing an entry celebrating every medal we earn. I'm most excited, obviously, about
