    Canada was expecting to do well in hockey, until they learned it was field hockey. Poor bastards got out there in those ice skates and just couldn't keep up.

    Plenty of good reasons to boycott.

    I heard an Imus guest say that he was watching in Canada, & they were struggling to give the Canadian angle - during cycling, they were focusing on which bikes were made in Canada.

    Water in a liquid state appears to be the source of the problem.

    Yeah, well just get wait til they get to that sweeping the ice with a broom game (forget the name--shmurling, swirling, furling?) in the winter games. Canuckistan OWNS that shit.

    Honestly, after the shit that's happened with the dollar and everything else this year, it's good to have something to bash Canada with again. I was feeling some serious withdrawal pains.
