I had a vague sense of terror yesterday that if Canada lost at hockey, in sudden death overtime, that there would have been a riot in the streets. 

P.S. the closing ceremonies were terrible... why did they have Neil Young sing so early on, then taper off with more and more terrible, obscure performers?  I held out, watched the entire thing thinking for sure they would have some great act to close with, but no...

But a really polite and well-organized riot.

I was at a bar in Truckee, CA (just some random bar I found so I could watch it--I was on the road) and when the US tied it the place went nuts. It would have been so great if we would have won in OT, but, you know, I like Canada and all, and it's totally their thing, and it's not like we lost to the Russians.

Up until a week and a half ago I couldn't bother to give two shits about hockey. Now I'm checking standings and schedules on ESPN for the NHL.

Oh yeah, and what about Ryan Miller? There should be a special medal for him.

I don't know - when Canadians have been drunk for two weeks strait, they aren't polite anymore.

I would have loved to see the American's win that game if only so I could gloat to the Canadian living in my driveway, but I say congratulations to Canada, this meant a lot to you, not just the hockey, but the whole thing.  You've really put on a great Olympics.  Canada, you done yourself proud.  14 golds, wow!

They closed the liquor stores in the area when the canadians won. When asked why, the spokesperson said "The fans have been drinking long enough" I think it was like 2pm BC time.

'Round these parts a lot of people were actually rooting for the Russians just because of Ovie.

I heard that too, but I don't know what it means. A special medal? Trophy? Blow job?

Seriously. I am not a Neil Young fan but he was just right for the moment. And then they followed him with, like, bad standup comedy? I gave up soon after that.

I liked the comedy part where she apologized for all the problems. "We're sorry the snow showed up late, We're sorry you thought Canada was a giant frozen tundra."

It's official.  I'm sure he gets a nice little trophy of some sort.
