Crooked in Canada

My apologies for not putting nearly as much of an effort into blogging about the Paralympics in Vancouver as I did when blogging about the Olympic Winter Games.
In my defence though, I’m blaming the media for that though, because unlike the coverage they gave the 2010  Oympic Winter Games, they are sorely lacking in coverage [...]

What the f*** is up with ex-NHLer Rob Ramage? Remember him hockey fans, he’s the drunk driver that killed former Chicago Blackhawk Keith Magnusson.
What was it Ramage did he again, he got drunk, got behind the wheel of a car and killed somebody, a crime he should spend a very long time in jail for, [...]

We Canadians have a lot to be proud of today, tomorrow and for quite awhile, not that we don’t have other reasons to be proud everyday of the week. This Olympic thing though, like WOOHOO!  As Pink sings, “Let’s get this party started,” if you haven’t already Canada.
Sidney Crosby became a national [...]

Owning the podium isn’t about total medals won, it’s all about which country has the most gold draped around it’s neck, and in this Olympic Winter Games, that honour goes to Canada.
What a [gold] rush for the host country, huh Canada, and did our $117-million Olympians do us proud. Nine gold medals in six days [...]

Only a couple of days left until the closing ceremonies. Finally.
Jesus man, it has taken forever to get the 21st Olympic Winter Games over and done with, but you know what, VANOC put on a helluva show. F*** those moronic Poms who said the Vancouver Games were going to be [...]

The other day, as did most Canadians, I watched the Canadian women’s hockey team win their third consecutive gold medal. There wasn’t much of celebration here in Oz, not that there wasn’t one somewhere where Aussie-Canadians congregated to watch the game, but I hear Hayley Wickenheiser and company did it up right, drawing the ire [...]

Canadian Olympians may not own the podium outright, but f*** man, they own a big piece of it with 16 medals in total, eight of them gold. The past two days have been very good for the Canadians, winning four medals on the 13th day of [...]

Despite being armed with more than just a couple of the best snipers in the National Hockey League, Team Canada gave the Russians a lesson in how to play ice hockey, beating the f***ing out of them by a score of 8-3.
The game was over halfway through the second period, and all the Russians could [...]

Dutch speed skater Sven Kramer, no relation to Cosmo of Seinfeld, has had a bad day at the track and he owes it all to his coach. After skating 10,000-meters in what would have been record time, he was disqualified for not changing lanes while coming out of a turn two-thirds [...]

Good f***ing call, but what does anybody want to bet that naming Roberto Luongo as starting goaltender in Canada’s sudden death hockey game against Germany, wasn’t made by that moron behind the team’s bench, Mike Babcock?
Crooked in Canada believes without a doubt, that Steve Yzerman [...]

What was yesterday at the Olympics again, Super Sunday, right?  There was nothing super about yesterday in Vancouver, not as far as Canada “owning the podium” goes. This will be a brief post.
Kristina Groves picked up another medal for Canada in the 1500m speed skating. That brings the total number of medals for the Canadian [...]

After three round robin games, the Canadian men’s ice hockey team finds itself having to fight for an opportunity to play in the medal round, after losing a game they dominate from start to finish.
The Americans, despite being out shot 2-1, and with a goaltender who was no less experienced in international ice hockey than [...]

Damn Yankees, they’re kicking ass. Don’t they own the podium?  Twenty-three medals so far; six of them gold. Germany has 14. Next, it’s Norway with 11 medals in total, of which five of them, are of the golden kind.  Korea has nine, and Canada still has eight. The Swiss have seven, but one more gold [...]

Russia is pissed after Evgeni Plushenko, the defending gold medal men’s figure skating champion, could only manage silver. He lost out to American Evan Lysacek, who without a quadruple jump (Plushenko has one) in his routine, was able to fool judges into scoring him high enough to rob the Russian skater of what was supposed [...]

Here in The Land Down Under, Channel Nine commentators covering the Winter Olympics have come under fire over homophobic comments they made about the men’s ice skating. Eddie McGuire and Mick Molloy took aim at the costumes worn by the male figure skaters during a discussion in which Molloy said, “They don’t leave anything in [...]

During his opening monologue the other night, David Letterman blasted the Olympic official who said Nodar Kumaritashvili died, because he made a mistake. He’s right, if it was Nodar’s own damn fault, how come no time was wasted padding up the steel girders and why was the starting [...]

Four days into the 21st Olympic Winter Games and Canadian taxpayers who contributed about $120-million to prepare their Olympians for this international sporting event have one gold, two silver and one bronze to show for it.
While it is still early, the medal tally so far isn’t looking all that shit hot, but five medals, two [...]

The gold medal drought is over; the gold medal drought is over. Woohoo! Nah, I’m not that overly excited about it, because I thought it was a given that somebody on the Canadian Olympic team was going to win gold before the men’s hockey team. But you know what the best part of somebody finally [...]

What a load a bullshit I caught on the Aussie news last night; something about 200 protesters going on a bit of a rampage smashing shop windows among other things. It was a protest they wrongly thought would convince people to see things their way, never mind the hope they must have had that, their [...]

The first day of competition at the Winter Games in Vancouver is coming to an end.
With the exception of an alpine skiing event being rescheduled due to overnight rain, there doesn’t appear to be too much bad news being reported about the international event that Canadian taxpayers helped to pay for.
Let’s hope that that $120-million [...]
