Ok, so that was a close hockey game! Canada had a nice, comfortable 3-0 lead and then the Slovaks scored two and I nearly died of five heart attacks ((I totally stole this line from @enniscath. Because it perfectly sums it up)) . But thanks to Roberto Luuuuuuuongo ((as an aside, I love watching hockey […]
The internets gods have finally deemed me worthy enough to have my very own internets connection in my very own home. And what a great night for that to happen. Canada – and Canadian women in particular – kicked some ass at the Olympics tonight and I got to watch it all via the Internet […]
When I bought the tickets for this afternoon’s women’s hockey game, I didn’t know who would be playing as it was a “classification” game, meaning that would would be playing was determined by the standings from the preliminary games. As it turns out, today’s matchup was Team China vs. Team Switzerland. Team China Team Switzerland […]
I turned the TV on earlier this evening just in time to see Jon Montgomery‘s gold medal winning skeleton run. And then, as he walked through Whistler amidst a huge crowd of fans on his way to be interviewed on CTV, someone handed him a pitcher of beer, which he proceeded to chug! The pitcher […]

This year’s matchups: Montreal vs. Ottawa Vancouver vs. Toronto Edmonton vs. Calgary Given the Canucks vs. Maple Leafs match-up, my dad and I have our customary bet – when the Leafs lose, my dad […]
I’m thinking of doing a 30-day hot yoga challenge. It involves doing a hot yoga class every day for 30 days, starting on Feb 6. It would basically mean putting all social activities on hold for a month, as I’d be doing a yoga class every night after work, plus a Saturday morning and a […]
So, would you believe that I won the hockey pool I’m in for December? It’s a free hockey pool for anyone who plays in the league I’m in. You pick a bunch of NHL players and then you get points every time they get points. And can you guess how I picked my players? That’s […]
After the Winter Classic hockey game yesterday, Team USA announced its men’s hockey team roster for the Vancouver 2010 Olympics and answered one of the questions I had after Canada’s roster announcement: why isn’t Patrick Kane on Team Canada? Evidently, he’s an American ((I just assume that all good hockey players are Canadian. Unless they […]
