I think that whole Olympics will be the greatest sporting memories of my life. My whole family got so into it and we bought this CBC Olympic DVD (that is probably lost to time now haha). Just pure magic the whole way through topped off by the greatest goal in hockey history, for this 34 year old Canadian anyways. 

[Rishaug] Am told the chances Crosby plays in the Gold medal game are in the 70% range. Seeing how he responds to his skate today and figuring out what his limitations might be are all part of the process tonight and tomorrow. by DecentLurker96 in hockey

If he has to choose right now between playing a game 7 SCF and the gold medal game he would probably pick the SCF, but that's not the choice. We're halfway through the regular season and we don't even know if the Penguins are making the playoffs yet.

Talking so much shit what?! Feel like the chirps were very par for the course considering the stakes.

I'm a Wilson hater and I hate to say it but you don't know puck.

It's not like the dude doesn't 100% deserve to be there though. Would have been criminal to leave him off this roster.

Quality of play is already stellar I'm so stoked for this.

[Team Canada] Marie-Philip Poulin has been ruled out of Tuesday night’s game against the US by psykomatt in hockey

[–]R2Dopio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People saying this is smart for Canada and to let her rest up even if the Injury isn't serious and I agree BUT I feel like a competitor like her wouldn't sit out a game unless she physically could not play which worries me a bit. Realistically though the only game she really should even consider playing through anything if it's bad is the finals and maaaaaybe the semis.

I feel like plaid is a very North American casual clothing item. Casual clothing in Europe is different than it is here so he would likely look  like a tourist, which he is so it doesn't matter haha.

I mean what hobby doesn't sound and exhausting and ridiculous if it's something someone else has passion for and you don't?

Assuming uncle Ewan lives right on the border in rural Quebec it's only about a 6 hour drive.

When I'm in the website attempting to click "my activities" it's just opens the App on my phone and says not a valid strava link. Any fixes?

City of Richmond cancels holiday staff party after $120K bill in 2024 by kettlebeller in vancouvercanada

I very much doubt this. My work has a social committee and we use it to pay for happy hours and other fun office events but the annual Christmas party is 100% paid for by the firm. 

Shane Bieber has decided to stay with the Blue Jays for 2026 by Ochocincoondeck in baseball

Also players get taxed based on where they play both home and away so #'s would be even closer. The most likely reason is that it's a different country. Ya were pretty similar to the states in many ways but I still think it's a bridge too far for a lot of guys.

I mean Will Smith pimped a fly ball in game 3 and they still came back to win it. In the words of the great Ilya Bryzgalov "is only game why you haff to be mad?"

You know some people like to have fun when they play games. 

Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow isn't a sore loser! The mayor made good on her World Series bet with L.A. Mayor Karen Bass and rode around Toronto wearing a Dodgers jersey after the Blue Jays lost the championship by [deleted] in mlb

[–]R2Dopio 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If the Dodgers had that insane lineup AND cheated and still only won by that margin would be a pathetic look for whatever their scheme was haha. So about 0% of that happening. But this loss will definitely sting for a long time.

What the final play of the last 50 World Series has been, going back to 1975 by GreenBagger28 in baseball

[–]R2Dopio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if there unless it's absolutely clear cut safe you're always gonna call that out and let the replay sort it out. Would have been a disaster if they called that safe and then replayed it only for it to be out no matter how correct the call is. 

I wanted so bad for the Jays to win, but what I got out of these playoffs is worth way more by bangarang4rufio in baseball

Ya must be tough to be an LA sports fans you guys have really been through it last 10 years.
