Don’t panic yet!
OK, yesterday’s hockey game was disappointing, that’s obvious. But let’s not panic yet. If we were going to lose a game, that was a good one to lose. Hopefully that will be the wake-up call we needed. A few things are clear, Pronger no longer has “it”, Babcock can’t leave the lines alone (scrambled eggs) and Luongo probably needs to go back in.
Glad we have a game against Germany to hopefully get some lines going and some systems worked out. It’s not over yet!
In other Olympic news – just watching the downhill ski jumping right now. Anyone know how much lift those guys get from those “skis”? Some crazy long jumps going on. Very cool.

I went for a 2 hour gravel grind on Saturday and loved every minute of it.
Addiction
I have to admit my new addiction (well not new actually) but I am watching WAY TOO MUCH Olympics. Even got it going on my computer right now, some female XC skier just skied off course and fell into a ravine. Anyway, I will watch almost anything, snowboarding is awesome, downhill skiing, even XC skiing & curling, pretty much anything, I have very little self-control.
Obviously I was watching the Men’s Hockey yesterday. Babyface Toews looked like one of the best forwards, all over the ice. I was wondering why #19 was so slow the first few shifts, then I realized that was Joe Thorton, once I realized Toews was wearing #16, all made sense. It is also a treat to get to watch some of those Canadian players we just don’t see much during the season, like Rick Nash, wow.
Anyway, I do have my limits of what I will watch and yes, you guessed it, figure skating. Ah, no thanks.
If only I could muster the motivation to set up the trainer every evening to burn some calories while I burn my brain cells.
