The pressure is on Team Canada....good result or fluke- time will tell.

And you have been in Canada how long? So what gives you the right to be so dismissive of people who evidently know a hell of a lot more about hockey than you do?

I'm afraid in your case the evidence has evidently not been forthcoming.

Enjoy it while you can.

Women's hockey may not be an Olympic sport for much longer.

Can't argue with the logic but the timing by Mr. Rogge sucks big time. Could he not have waited until after the gold medal game to say it.

I think it's for the best. All that body checking can't make those young ladies more eligible catches.

Not a lot of body checking in womens hockey, it's against the rules I think.

Incidental contact is allowed but not checking as in mens hockey. The ladies are much too gentile for that.

Mr. BSmith's raison de vivre would be called into question.

Search me.

But back to the body-checking. I agree it's difficult with those lady iced hockey players, given the amount of padding and stuff. I prefer beach volleyball. Preferably France vs Brazil.

But you know me.
