It was a good game, but best ever? No. That was this:

Great game! Also, I'm very happy for Canada - not just for this win, but it did top off a great Olympics that they put together.

 

[Recoil]

The streets of Toronto were packed 30 minutes after the win.

I know nothing about hockey but it was a good game to watch. Both teams rammed each other hard but the Canadians seemed to be skillfully light-footed and rather masterful with the puck.

\tI'd do 4, 2, 1. It goes down by half every medal you go lower. So essentially 2 silvers = 1 gold.

It should be gold or bust

- like they rank it on Wikipedia

Maybe it was the pressure, but I have a feeling you guys'll be back back in 8th in Russia on the big ice. You're program is not nearly as progressive enough to succeed in hostile, and different environments. The US proved otherwise (see World Jnrs and this years men's tourney). I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Updated all time medal count... Congrats to the Canucks for closing the gap to within 849 gold medals and 2143 total medals of Big Brother.

 

[L.R.]

Right. As soon as Canada has a population of 10x it's current number, we'll look into competing at total medal counts.

 

[GQgeek]

^^ Canada has like 1/10th the population, so if you extrapolate, we win.

 

[R-H]

There is a lot of hate in this thread.

 

[StephenHero]

You also have 3.6x as many people as Hungary and still trail that god-forsaken shithole by 60 medals.

Stephenhero is one of the few members who manages to be just as much of a smarmy self-important ************* outside of CE as he is in, and is now on the ignore list. Seriously, you needed to get the crap beaten out of you a lot more in high school, apparently.

 

[whacked]

^ You're stooopid. Summer games have 10x times more events, thus way more medals per each Olympics.

Can't help but notice Norway's killing it at Winter games.

Take your smack to the Maple Tree thread.
